Oh, ok. I'll keep an eye out for those changes then.

I'll give it a shot...

I found a bug today and it's not fixed yet. It's slow for the image
listing menus, the main menu if icons are present and the tv menu when
you have channel logos. I will fix that tomorrow.

The doc says "load from memory, cache, xml". I didn't read the code to
verify that.

I really need to move everything to the new skin; I'm just having
problems with the new guide because it is really, really slow to
navigate, even with less items on the screen. I'm not clear why.

Is it doing the selective draw or is it still redrawing everything?

Oh, ok. I thought it might try and load the pickle again which would
be slow...

It sounds like you want to display a static text in the info area
which has nothing to do with the selected item. That's not possible
with my new skin right now, but it should be easy

[ 3 min later:]

Done! If you build that menu, set infoitem and/or viewitem of that
menu to the TvProgram you build that menu for. And you need to define
an info area with the infos you want to display. And you need to
define a menuset for this kind of menu.

If I understand the code correctly, just call get_guide(). It should
take a memory cached version.
