The autotimers use the epg to create timers, so they should be able to get the correct description. In terms of icetv timers. Resending the timer from icetv won't do anything with the description as icetv doesn't send that info, it is created by the BW. For blank titles in icetv timers. If they stil...

... To obtain a more accurate read on the title for the desired event wouldn't it be more prudent to ignore the padding (solely for the purposes of looking up the event name)? This should give you a more accurate positioning within the desired title. Yes, it would, but it's not possible in general ...

simoncasey

You can't compare timers created by the epg with timers created by icetv. Timers created from the epg will automatically know the program description when they are set up. To make a direct comparison between icetv and BW timers you need to crameate a timer on the BW manually using just a start and e...

What's the famous TV show from the seventies represented in this picture?

simoncasey

Load up the ultimate series remotes with long-press actions. Most actions can be mapped to sensible buttons with a long press. I have, I just never remember what is what so it's just easier to go to the BW menu first. This probably explains why I see this more often as I'm likely to just pause play...

simoncasey

I'm not sure how much confusion this will cause. But, I thought I would go back and see what release the bug got introduced. Problem was that I don't have the incremental on-line updates to load after that release.. BTW, I have not used these for some months. (I think, ), sorry. I don't think that ...

Makes sense.

the timeshift one will take a while to reproduce as it's hard to get the right scenario. But I have tried the standard media player/menu/exit to livetv trigger and found that it doesn't always need to be repeated three times. It often only requires twice and in one scenario it happened on the first ...

Just had a strange issue on the T4. It was running on ABC, turned the TV on to watch and the picture had frozen, on the presenter with a line showing horizontally about midway, and the picture looking a bit like a video that had tracking problems - a little "shaggy". The EPG came up OK an...

My current inclination is to fix this issue by disabling main menu from media player, unless someone volunteers to get their head around the messy code that would be required to support this. I think I may have found another similar but different trigger for this other than media player. This is ba...

Ahh, confirmed, and with a little more info. If you enter "Information" three times, or "Power" three times, or even "Timers" three times. ... Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice: What I tell you three times is true." When shall we three meet again?

simoncasey

Yes, I can confirm that if you repeat three times the sequence of playing a recording, going into the main menu and returning to live TV, this will give you the issue. You don't need to open anything from the menu. I can also confirm MrQuades point that in that situation, the channels option is sele...

That's the latest public release too.

The recent online updates were small updates for the picons (logos) for the new channels.

For the last day or so* my from panel has just said Loading 100. Everything else seems to be working normally. It says the same whether it is on or in standby.

When it happens it seems to affect the left right key function in the movie list but not the up down function on that screen. Is there anything that differentiates the left right function on that screen (but not up down) that is similar to the up down function on the other affected screens.

... I think it's worth focussing on jpp's initial request as the vertical now line is of no benefit to jpp's point of being able to see the end of the now shows. It's not about see what is on now.

I may at some stage look at the minimalist approach of just adding "now" shading for non-timer entries, as has been suggested in the topic earlier, but I feel that lightening the now events without timers while keeping full colour saturation for current timer events will look a bit odd. I...

Actually, the other thing that ocurred to me is that the video playback was paused in your case, and Tezza mentioned that he had stopped playback prior to fiddling with timers. Tezza, when you stop movie playback, do you get a black screen with no media, or do you drop back to Live TV? Just wonderi...

simoncasey

I've triggered it again, following one from the post discussions with mrquade. Note that I haven't rebooted/shut down since the last one, just done a GUI restart to get rid of it. This time I had just stopped watching a recording (aha) and returned to the Media List. I have the setting where I get a...

simoncasey

Yes, but I was pausing live TV, I was not in the media player. So if there was a common connection it would have to be whatever those things have in common. I think trying to reproduce a specific scenario would prove frustrating. I've had dozens occur, all at random and with no similar scenario lead...

MrQuade wrote:Seems to be a common theme of invoking the timer menu from the media player. (not something I ever do, but can test that scenario)

No. It was just a coincidence or maybe one of many ways it can be triggered. I don't think I have ever done that before and only did it to confirm tezzas post.

simoncasey

I just had the same problem I had live tv paused for nearly an hour (while I was on the phone). While paused, I went into the timers through Menu>timers. When I opened a specific timer, I could not move up/down Exited to Timer overview and up/down was ok (as that isn't one of the affected screens) C...

I also noticed the 'green up arrow' flashing in the info bar next to the hbbtv icon which I assume is an OS update alert, hadn't spotted it before. That's been in the firmware for a while.

simoncasey

I can't see this is caused by whether you shutdown or not. However, how often you see it will depend on how often you go into the screens that it affects and whether you reboot or shutdown regularly. It's worth making clear that if you don't go into the screen that it affects, then you wouldn't even...

simoncasey

In terms of exit etc. the only place where the exit button doesn't work consistently is on the channel and history screens when accessed from the menu. Pressing exit takes you back to live TV whereas every other menu screen takes you back to the menu. The main complexity is normally the red button w...

And a satisfying ep. I had missed this one, and always wondered if they came to a conclusion. In some ways it might have best if they had left it there, as it started to go downhill later on. And then it would have ended with the last episode in my home town, which is what also happened in the last...

simoncasey

Hi Simoncasey, In general I can confirm your observations. I believe that step 2 also reveals another issue. When you jump forward a day and then immediately back a day you do not return to the same point at which you started. Generally on the return jump I land at the last event in the display win...

The way that time is represented when you move through the EPG is a bit weird. None of that surprises me a great deal.

Sorry guys, been absent for a few hours - and it's interesting and gratifying to see so much interest in this topic. EPG functionality is a primary issue for me, probably #1 issue of any PVR.

The current different event states that affect colouring are: selected / not selected and no timer / rec timer / zap timer (rec+zap timer is treated as rec timer), 6 backgrounds in all.

simoncasey

My only suggestion to make the EPG a bit easier on the eyes and appear less busy, is to use shading rather than a new colour for the now events. Maybe that was what you intended to show that anyway Simon. So, for the Easy default EPG a lighter shade of blue - the Auto Timer's slightly lighter blue ...
