Timer question
#1
I wonder if it would be to only show active timers in the EPG? As it is know, using MythTV as backend, all timers are shown in the EPG. Even if they are deactivted, f.ex. recorded earlier.

For me only timers that are actually going to happen are meaningful to see in the EPG. Is there a setting for this?

Also, for Estuary I think that the small almost transparent watch, indicating a timer, is rather hard to see. Would it be possible to have a better image indicating a timer?
Don't know how other backends do, but it would be nice to have the icon indicate what type of timer, if it is a series or only a single recording, or any of the other types supported bu the backend.

For Estuary, I have modified the skin to eliminate the timer icons completely. Instead, I disable the genre colors and use the background color of an item to indicate whether it has an upcoming timer (red), or if there is a completed or in-progress recording/timer (green).

The changes I made to the Variables.xml and MyPVRGuide.xml are shown as diffs in this gist:

I haven't updated it for RC3 yet, but I doubt there is much change needed, if any.

Thank you. Will take a look at that. But I also like the genre colors. Will have to think about it. But at least more easy to see where there is a timer.
