After playing around with key mappings I changed my remote for the EPG windows to go back and forth channel groups and noticed something; I got quite many and it's not always clear to me which one is active.
Maybe you can add the group name just like the mini guide window where it's in the top left corner?
Appending it vertically on the left before the channel numbers or on the right after the program info might look good, or on the right bottom corner under the starting/ending time or just in the top left where it says sorting: on name. Instead of the label "Live TV" like now it would be better to display "Timeline: Active Channel Group". Just some ideas about it that might work out.
The last option I gave I will explore through some editing and give the resultt + code here as it should be pretty easy to do.
This is how it looks after:
Full fix:
Edit Includes_furniture.xml line 524:
from:
to
This part edits the topbar with the right localisations and adds the channel group
also edit line 505:
from:
to:
This edits the right icon in the top left corner for each page
Instead of the playlist.png icon for the guide the icon years.png is also a good candidate which displays numbers instead of small squares
One small bug remains; the channel group only gets displayed when the pvr is on; else it won't. Maybe you know how to fix that for $INFO[VideoPlayer.ChannelGroup]
