Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: What skin to use?
Hi, As all you know, I use a DXR3-Card. I tested the new dischi1-skin with this card. But it doesn't work. I took a look in the source and pointed out the following problem in osd.py: The line self.depth = pygame.display.mode_ok((self.width, self.height), 1) returns self.depth = 8. But it seems to be, that pygame.display.set_mode() crashes because of that color-depth. So I tried the "old" value of 32. This now works. Here's my modified code in osd.py: --- cut --- self.depth = pygame.display.mode_ok((self.width, self.height), 1) self.hw= pygame.display.Info().hw if config.CONF.display == 'dxr3': self.depth = 32 print "Used color depth is %s" % self.depth self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((self.width, self.height), self.hw, self.depth) --- cut --- Is this a Problem of the mode_ok in pygame or a problem of the SDL-DXR3-Patch?

It's faster to me. however, when I go very fast up/down many times, my CPU goes to 65%! it's too much, but not higher than before when it reaches 95%! Notes: I don't know how the new method deals with the screen and if we're using the HW 2d accel... But if we are not using that, we really should.

Right. If you want to do all of that in the guide, you really should look at the classes I built for Programs, Episodes and Showings and how I import the XMLTV data into them.

I'm seeing an improvement now; though the idle bar flickers a little now. On a related note, since we're always drawing multiple things on surfaces, could we lock the surface until we refresh the screen?

I found a small bug today. Before today the background was background images + rectangles. If the background changes, all objects who are inside the changed area will be redrawn on a tmp surface. BUT the background image is always in that area, therefore I blitted it to the tmp surface all the time. If you look at osd.py, you will see that loadimage always returns a transparent surface (until today, I just changed that). ==> everytime you selected a new item I made an alpha blending over the complete screen Now this should be fixed, try again.

Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: What skin to use?
Sounds good to me. We have a similar thing in our cable box. But I would probably improve it somewhat... a) Click on a show, see alternates b) Click on "search" get a list of letters and then a list of shows by letter. Showing the alternates for the currently selected show is something I think makes a lot of sense, especially if we can figure out if they're repeats by seeing if the sub-titles match.

If the user wants to see episode details, he can press a button while the cursor is on an episode.

I think we need someone to take some shots of a Tivo; many of us have never seen one in action, and based on my readings of Slashdot, it has a wonderful interface; we could at least get some ideas from there, though I definitely don't want to clone it. Also, as a further note. xmltv CVS now includes something called 'tv_imdb' which uses imdb to supplement the show listings with actors, and other information, which would be nice for cross references and such. It does require a local copy of the imdb lists (from ftp.imdb.com) but the amount of extra information is quite nice. Aubin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

Well, to split the difference, just like specifying the encoder is configurable, it should be easy to have a special string for the filename. i.e. filename = `%(day)s %(time)s - %(show)s - %(title)s.mpg' That way, everyone can be happy :) > :-) I don't need anything that elaborate.

Wow, that's pretty simple :) I think we should perhaps consider having
the recording directory have a seperate skin file. I was thinking of
just making a skin.fxd file to put in there, but I'm sure I'm not the
only one who uses the Recording stuff.
Ideally, we set it up slightly differently to accomodate the fact that
(a) there will never be a 'cover' image really so the menu width
should be different.
(b) we should have Brian's popup "Delete" box for 'after play'
(c) We should dump data from the TV guide into an xml file for the
recorded shows; which means we also should show it somewhere.

Once you try a PVR you will never go back to either live TV or > the hassle of VCRs. I guarantee it. :-) Maybe, but I don't think so. The German tv program sucks. They translate everything into German. It's ok for languages I don't speak (like French), but I hate it for US/UK productions. Since most movies or tv shows are from US, the German versions aren't half that good (and you miss the parts where you guys try to speak German ;-) -- very funny). And it's hard/impossible to translate every joke into German. Because of that, I mostly watch DVDs (mine or from friends who think exacly like me). Which reminds me: in six week Babylon 5 season 2 comes out and I haven't finished season 1.

Yes, there's an input dialog box now, but also a confirm dialog. Once

All of that is true, but putting the date into the name is redundant when you have a date (three of them in fact -- mtime, ctime and atime) on the file already. The mtime of a media file should reflect the time it was created (contrary to normal UNIX usage which is the last modification time). Then you needn't worry about stripping it from filenames and all that sort of junk, and it's right there in an "ls -l" if you want to see it on the command line. > I'm sure the popup box in the new skin could be extended.

A popup with a question, and a Yes button and a No button (where the left/right can be used to navigate from one to the other and "select" to choose one) will suffice.

The new skin sipports both. In blue2 you can toggle between the two styles by pressing DISPLAY. If you want text view first, copy all tags from blue2 to local_skin.fxd and toggle the first two .

I'm rewriting the skin code and integrate the gui stuff in it. To use
it, set OSD_SKIN to skins/dischi1/skin_dischi1.py.
You get the really new stuff (nice features) by setting SKIN_XML to
blue2 (image listings with infos about the item). It's work in
progress right now, but usable (see skins/dischi1/skin_dischi1/TODO
for a list of missing things). It's only in the CVS right now, but
1.3.2-pre3 will come soon.

OK. Works mostly. I did get some errors:
Skin: Loading XML file blue2
can't find image up.png
can't find image down.png
can't find image ../icons/AquaFusion/up.png
can't find image ../icons/AquaFusion/down.png
can't find image up.png
can't find image down.png
can't find image ../icons/AquaFusion/up.png
can't find image ../icons/AquaFusion/down.png
can't find image up.png
can't find image down.png
can't find image ../icons/AquaFusion/up.png
can't find image ../icons/AquaFusion/down.png
can't find image up.png
can't find image down.png
can't find image up.png
can't find image down.png
Which leads to the following error (and backtrace):
Bitmap file "" doesnt exist!
Crash!

Who thinks their's is the most > "progressive"? :-) I'm rewriting the skin code and integrate the gui stuff in it. To use it, set OSD_SKIN to skins/dischi1/skin_dischi1.py. You get the really new stuff (nice features) by setting SKIN_XML to blue2 (image listings with infos about the item). It's work in progress right now, but usable (see skins/dischi1/skin_dischi1/TODO for a list of missing things). It's only in the CVS right now, but 1.3.2-pre3 will come soon.
