So I've updated my working copy to include support for a multi-level OSD
when watching TV, and I'm still not completely happy with how it works.
So I'm thinking the osd behavior could be enhanced to provide a little
more flexibility.
The main change I'm proposing is a small and large program info OSD.
Pressing info displays the small if it is available, pressing again
displays the large, pressing again hides all info. If either are
missing it is skipped. Here is some pseudocode which sums up all the
state changes:
In WatchingLiveTV function, non browse mode:
On Channel change: hide channel_number, display smallinfo
On INFO command
If nothing displaying
If has smallinfo
display smallinfo
Else
display longinfo
Else If smallinfo displaying
If has longinfo
display longinfo
Else
HideAll
Else If longinfo displaying
HideAll
On browsemode activated: Display smallbroswseinfo
On browse channel change: display smallbroswseinfo
On INFO command
If channel = currentlytunedchannel
Use non browse mode logic
Else If smallbroswseinfo displaying and has longbrowseinfo
display longbrowseinfo
Else If longbrowseinfo and has smallbrowseinfo
display smallbrowseinfo
Note that I've put the channum back into each respective osd container,
since the varying sizes of the containers does not lend itself to having
the channel number in the same place all the time. This is the only
change needed to existing osds to make them work with the new system
(because only largeinfo will be used if smallinfos aren't present).
Anywho, I'd be happy to code this up and submit a patch, since I've
already gotten a good start on it... assuming there are no objections to
the new behavior.
