PVR Shortcuts

Freakish · 2011-07-21 05:50

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the EPG(s) are able to be bound to shortcut keys? It would be nice to have a separate key on my Harmony for

EPG: Now, EPG: Timeline, EPG Channel... Etc..

Any ideas if it's possible?

Is that a yes it can be done? Any ideas on which menu number(s) or name(s) I can use, I have trawled the XML files without any success.

not sure, also working on that wellbeeing configuration for PVR / Harmony users Smile

The only thing i already got is windowID 10600 for the LiveTV, but i'll do some more tests later this WE. Maybe others hav done some investigations before?

I've just added keymappings in the dev branch. it'll be included in the next ppa build:

Code:

e = activate EPG = XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 31,0, 10,0)

h = activate TV = XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 32,0, 11,0)

j = activate Radio = XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 33,0, 12,0)

k = activate Recordings = XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 34,0, 13,0)

b = activate Search = XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 35,0, 14,0)

those magic numbers will be replaced by labels later

I have also looked for a way to activate "record" using a remote control button (quick record the current showing program, as you would do by selecting record from the menu).

Is there a shortcut that can be attached to the record button on a remote, or is it possible to add it to the code?

basically the funkctions should also work from the remote.xml, unfortunately i can't get it work even from the keyboard.xml.

Seems that xbmc does not recognice the XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus command because the XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyPVR) works as expected.

[EDIT]
it's exactly that, the function needs a recompile with the corresponding change in source code
[/EDIT]

Thanx

told you

I'll add a record shortcut later. Any other "missing buttons"?

Think teletext will make it complete unless it is already there?

Just to make it a little bit comfortable for all that osdschool vdr users, which are very interested in that project. And of course the current ppa becomes more and more an alternative to vdr/xine, even when it is not yet.

Another thing is deinterlacing, which is a little mit more complex compared to xine while you have to set a proper value for each channel separate. Despite of this i recogniced a stuttering using temporal_spatial on my GT520 while in xine similar doing is ok. It looks like xbmc deals a little bit different with these settings?

btw: thanks a lot for the buttons Smile

teletext is already mapped to the "v" button.

for deinterlacing: try vdpau temporal or ion optimised if you have an nvidia card. I think I had the best result with temporal for other cards (assuming the channels have the same params where you live).
