Not Possible to switch EPG Views if Video- and/or Visualisation-window is used
(Helix)

As the title says

Cant switch EPG Views (10,11,12,13) as soon as i add a Video- or Visualisation Window to one of them.

Did different attenpts.

-directly in the View (ID="10")
-in the Group ID="50" with "<visible>Control.IsVisible(10)</visible>"
-in MyPVRGuide.xml outside the Group ID="50"

all attempts did get the same result -> Not possible to switch between EPG-Views.


(Just to tell: Without the Video and/or Visualisation Window it works fine.)
((Did merge the PVR Section according to the Guide.))

when start music with Visualisation Window and open EPG with key "E" you have picture like me

I have three open window in this order :
-Visualisation Window
-TV Guide
-Lyrics

Last one Lyrics is in focus,just press escape and tv guide will be in focus and you can choose view in tv guide.(works for me)
Maybe in your case is not lyrics,maybe is some other window focus.

i've tested it in confluence and it's working fine there.

Did test it (now) directly in Confluence to, and couldnt get it to work.
I wasnt abel to switch between the views no mather if something was Playing or not.

Heres the Code which i used to test. (Did put it right above the EPG Grig (ID="10").)

PHP Code:

<control type="group">
                <posx>10</posx>
                <posy>75</posy>
                <visible>Player.HasVideo</visible>
                <control type="image">
                    <description>BlackBack</description>
                    <posx>3</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>505</width>
                    <height>290</height>
                    <texture>BlackBack.png</texture>
                    <bordertexture border="12" colordiffuse="$VAR[BorderNFColordiffuse]">Frames-and-Borders/Border-NF.png</bordertexture>
                    <bordersize>7</bordersize>
                </control>
                <control type="videowindow" id="22">
                    <description>videowindow</description>
                    <posx>10</posx>
                    <posy>7</posy>
                    <width>490</width>
                    <height>276</height>
                    <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
                </control>
            </control>
            <control type="group">
                <posx>10</posx>
                <posy>75</posy>
                <visible>Player.HasAudio</visible>
                <control type="image">
                    <description>BlackBack</description>
                    <posx>3</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>505</width>
                    <height>290</height>
                    <border>0,5,0,5</border>
                    <texture>BlackBack.png</texture>
                    <bordertexture border="12">Frames-and-Borders/Border-NF.png</bordertexture>
                    <bordersize>7</bordersize>
                </control>
                <control type="visualisation" id="2">
                    <description>visualisation</description>
                    <posx>87</posx>
                    <posy>7</posy>
                    <width>391</width>
                    <height>275</height>
                    <visible></visible>
                </control>

                <control type="multiimage">
                    <posx>33</posx>
                    <posy>7</posy>
                    <width>413</width>
                    <height>275</height>
                    <imagepath background="true">$INFO[Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow)]</imagepath>
                    <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
                    <timeperimage>10000</timeperimage>
                    <fadetime>2000</fadetime>
                    <randomize>true</randomize>
                    <colordiffuse>55FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
                    <visible>Player.HasAudio + Skin.HasSetting(ShowArtistslideshowinNPWidget)</visible>
                </control>
            </control> 


-Was abel to nail it down to the "visualisation" control. (it seems to work as long i just use the "videowindow".)
Did remove the StringCompare in the "Visible" tag from the "visualisation"-control to, to be shure its not related to it. (Normaly i compare there according "Screenhight" to solve positioning issues with 16:10 screens.)

PHP Code:

StringCompare(System.ScreenHeight,720) | StringCompare(System.ScreenHeight,1080) 


Regards.

don't assign an id to the visualization. it's pointless.
if you ever need to assign an id to a control, pick something above 100, so they won't overlap with the built-in id's.
id="2" is reserved for the 'view as' button. by assigning it to the visualization as well, you actually break that button.

Heureca!

Thanks Ronie, this solved the problem!
(Did copy/paste it that way a while ago, dont now by now from where i adapt that, and funnywise it did work in Gotham (at least kinde of.)

@Angelinas:

How Do you get that "preview"-Thumb? Ist this the default MQ? or did you modify it by ur own?
Maby just Listitem.Thumb?? Did it work with every Backend?

[Angelinas]

That Iconi grab from my epg..xml and show as $INFO.ListItem.PlotOutline
skin is Mod of version AeomMQ6
Yes this work with all backends, i use simpleIPTV.
But pvr client must change in epg. cpp to copy Icon.Path to PlotOutline. (plotOutline is wissible in all windows)
All this you must doo becoase Kodi team want to add icon. Path to infoguimanager, and now is situation pvr grab iconsrc,write in epg10.db but Kodi cant show in aplikation.
Same sitution was for episodename.... Xhaggi correct this in Isengard.. Big thanx for him.
Hope he will include this in next pull request...... But somebady mut create first.

Listitem. Icon with source Icon.Path is only visible in DialogPVRGuideInfo.xml I write in github when scarecrow420 create pull requst, but little late.
