RE: Channel changing using UP/DOWN - bilbonvidia - 2012-11-08

I am confused, is this about using the up down arrows on your remote to display info on the mini menu of what is on the next channel or previous channel and as you say press ok to change. The right arrow could be used to see what is on next, and after that which would be very nice?

Or is it just about the channel up / channel down?

Ah, I think I understand more now , can I using the new keymap setting get the up down arrow to bring up the mini channel list, and the righ left arrow to bring up the mini program list for the current channel?

If so anyone know the appropriate id's for a mce remote?

RE: Channel changing using UP/DOWN - da-anda - 2012-11-09

you can (depending on the skin) already see which show is coming up next in the info OSD - so no need to use left/right for it (I'd reserve those to seek in timeshift buffer).

And if you where talking about the keymap changes by me - those finally allow you to map any action on the up/down/left/right buttons which where previously hardcoded + change any other key bindings in fullscreen liveTV mode.

This still doesn't fix my initial question though. However, nice addition!

RE: Channel changing using UP/DOWN - da-anda - 2012-11-09

initial question has already been answered, no? Not possible yet in the way you like it to be. When I find some time again I'll change it according to my suggestion earlier.

RE: Channel changing using UP/DOWN - bilbonvidia - 2012-11-10

How would I actually do what I mentioned above? i'd keep ffwd and skip for time shift functions.

Do you think we should add an extra setting for it so that you can change the behavior for numeric input and up/down separately? Or do you think one setting to toggle all? Or maybe a dropdown with different options, like:

Confirm channel switch by pressing OK:
- disabled
- on numeric input
- on channel up/down
- always

What would you think/prefer?

Would work for me. +100 as I just spent quite a while trying to figure out why that existing setting wasn't doing anything. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR/XBMC is pretty sparse on information about what the settings actually do.

yeah, i expect you guys to fill in the gaps, as i don't have time to write the docs too ;-)

Hm. Still not working for me. Would a debug log help?

RE: Channel changing using UP/DOWN - bilbonvidia - 2012-11-10

Is this what brings the mini channel list up: XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels) when watching ?

What is the command for the mini window that shows you the schedule for the current channel?

I'm glad I made it that far with the current changes, but I can have a look and in doubt ask other devs that have more insight on the keymap internals. So just post your debug log and we'll see.

Yes, this is bringing up the small channel list.
@schedule - do you mean the EPG? That would be XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDGuide)

RE: Channel changing using UP/DOWN - bilbonvidia - 2012-11-11

I tried adding the below to this /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml but it does not appear have done anything. I am using an mce remote, is it another file I need to change?

<FullscreenLiveTV>
<remote>
<up>XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels)</up>
<down>XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels)</down>
<left>XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDGuide)</left>
<right>XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDGuide)</right>
</remote>
</FullscreenLiveTV>
</keymap>

Hi da-anda/devs

Apologies for delay in getting back to you

XBMC Version: xbmc-20121113-26b23a3-master-x86_64.dmg
OSX 10.6.8
Remote: Apple remote (white one)

remote.xml = http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=14506
debug log = http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=14507

Again, If i put remote mappings into <FullscreenVideo> they work. If I put them into <FullScreenLiveTV> they dont work

Got it working now, I copied the edited remote.xml into my user data folder.

please note that it's <FullscreenLiveTV> (lower case "S") should you have used it with upper case "S" in your xml file.

edit: forget it - just checked your remote.xml which looks fine IMO. Also log didn't give any details on this regard. I suppose the volumeUp/down in the log is when you tried to switch channels - but there are no keymap related log entries in this area. Need to chat with other devs for ideas.

OK thanks! For now even getting the <button id="8">XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels)</button> working inside the <FullscreenLiveTV> would be a win.

Thanks again for looking into this
