MQ5 Custom Dialog Help Needed! - TheImmortal - 2013-10-10

I use the WMC PVR by krustyreturns (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=171216) and the backend comes with the ability to create a series recording when you select to record an episode. This is controlled by an XML file RecordPrefs.XML. I have created the XML file, and it functions the way I want it to, however it doesn't display the same as other MQ5 dialogs (i.e. doesn't change the background) and I was hoping somebody could help me put the finishing touches on this and explain to me what I was missing. Thank you!

@TheImmortal - @MarcosQui may be interested in this. He has stated once that is is now using the wmvpvr. Hopefully he will see this and help out.


RE: MQ5 Custom Dialog Help Needed! - TheImmortal - 2013-10-11

I certainly hope so. I am hoping that MarcosQui could work his magic and even make this a configurable option in the settings (to turn the series recording on or off depending on which backend you use).

I prepared the xml but I can not test it. Someone please do a test and tell me if you need some adjustment.

RecordPrefs

If it's all right I'll include in RC3.

TheImmortal thank you for your help.

MarcosQui,

Thank you very much for looking into my XML files. I haven't had a chance to review all your changes other than a quick once over, but something is causing it not to display correctly. I'll try to compare yours and mine and see if I can find where it is breaking. Essentially it is displaying all the options on the top line, which not only is in the wrong part of the screen, but all the lines are simply overwriting each other.

I have also uploaded the DeleteTimer.XML file so it too can be tweaked to match the rest of your dialog windows.

I believe I discovered the problem. When you created the grouplist, you did not nest the radiobuttons and spincontrolex inside the control statement. Once I fixed this, the options displayed correctly. The only thing still not working, and it isn't really a big deal, but when your dialog windows pop up, usually you only see the bitmap in the background. For example, if I am on the Program Guide and I hit "I" to display the episode info dialog, in the background I just see the bitmap with the red couch, I no longer see the Program Guide until I cancel back out of that window. With RecordPrefs I still see the Program Guide behind the dialog window.

Here are links to the latest versions of the XML files to check:

RecordPrefs
DeleteTimer

Thank you for your help!

I created a folder called - PVR - for test only - and I put two files in it. Please make a test for check if it works fine for the display of the background image. If it does not work I'll try something else.

Files

If can attach images to I get a sense of layout, please.

Okay, the new files still display the same. Here are some screen captures:

RecordPrefs

DeleteTimer

Both of the files work in terms of adding and deleting the records, but I would like them to go to only show the bitmap in the background like in these:

They worked beautifully!


RE: MQ5 Custom Dialog Help Needed! - MarcosQui - 2013-10-20

Great, I'll include in next build.

Thank you for your help.


RE: MQ5 Custom Dialog Help Needed! - Powerhouse - 2013-10-20

By chance are these going to make it into ACE as well....?

I can take a look at the files and see what needs to be done to make them work for Ace.

What could have changed in the Gotham build that would require a change in the RecordPrefs and DeleteTimer files? I can't navigate when using the latest Gotham build, they just stay stuck on the first option, but can't change it or move the cursor.
