EPG Timeline - LastCoder - 2013-03-27
Hi,
like this skin. But EPG timeline doesn't work as always in other skins, i.e. you can't choose a entry just by pressing enter, ok what ever, to get detailed information and a ability to set a timer; you have to call popup menu. Setting a timer is possible, but start and end is not visible. Btw. - the timeline colors are ugly ;-)
Best live tv support IMHO are given by reFocus and Quantum skin, just for reference ;-)

I've notice this as well, it's the only reason I haven't switched to the Ace skin, up until now I've tried others but always gone back to Confluence.
Great job though, awesome looking skin.

I also agree with this, hopefully MQ will find some time to give the Live TV area some of his magic skills for a future version...it is IMHO the only weak area of this skin.

Although I personally think the Timeline EPG in Blacks Xperience1080 is visually the best. Big Bold and has the highlighted programme's plot and other info at the bottom of the window.

I am glad its not just me (I thought I had missed a setting somewhere)
I just cant get used to notbeing able to press OK in the EPG to set a timer, or switch channel.

You misunderstand (or maybe I was not clear enough)
In every other skin, I press "Ok" on the EPG and it gives me a box saying "Switch | Set Timer " etc....
In Ace I press Ok and nothing happens.
IIRC In Aeon MQ 4 it worked fine, but in ACE pressing OK does nothing.
RE: EPG Timeline - Maniac - 2013-04-08
Yeah, this is one of the reasons making me stay on Confluence. It's currently best for Livetv.
The seccond one is that there is no current-epg on the channels list view, only the progress bar.

Use the context menu ("c"). Ok that isn't lucky - but TV section is always a little bit like a stepchild...
RE: EPG Timeline - Saner - 2013-04-09
that would mean remapping my remote for one skin.
i can appreciate its a minor thing, but given the way every other skin works (and the previous skins by the skinner) I will just stick to other skins for now.
As I said I know this is a minor thing, and it is in no way a criticism of the skin (to each their own and all that) its just not for me then if I have to start remapping controls for one skin.
RE: EPG Timeline - LeeG - 2013-04-09
The main issue is that DialogPVRguideinfo.xml is missing/broken. Hitting select/ok on a channel on the EPG normally pulls this dialog up alowing you to change channel or set a timer but as this is broken it does nothing.
Adding
Code:
<pvr>
<showepginfoonselect>false</showepginfoonselect>
</pvr>RE: EPG Timeline - Saner - 2013-04-11
Ahhh interesting, now I understand.
thanks that will come in handy then.
RE: EPG Timeline - jhr1948 - 2013-08-19
Hi all, just a friendly bump to see if the "show information" on the EPG will be fixed. I love this skin and as someone mentioned, that's the only thing left to make this perfect. I tried looking at the xml files in the skins folder, but they're way over my head. I don't mind doing some testing and logging if someone understands what changes to the settings needed to be done.
Thanks
RE: EPG Timeline - jhr1948 - 2013-08-19
Hey guys, had little breakthrough. I noticed LeeG said its missing the DialogPVRguideinfo.xml so I copied one from confluence mod (ccm?) & popped it into the ace skin and bingo, show info. Main problem is its a clear background so its hard to read against the epg screen. All we need to figure out how to get a background box behind the show info and it will be fixed. I just don't know how to do that. Anyone know how to do it?
