how else enable PVR manager?

[MassIV]

Okay, try this.

Startup

Code:

<defaultcontrol always="true">8</defaultcontrol>
<onload>Skin.SetString(pvrtest,false)</onload>

        <control type="button" id="8">
            <onfocus>Setfocus(9)</onfocus>
        </control>
        <control type="button" id="9">
            <onfocus condition="substring(Skin.String(pvrtest),true)">Setfocus(11)</onfocus>
            <onfocus condition="substring(Skin.String(pvrtest),false)">Setfocus(10)</onfocus>
        </control>
        <control type="button" id="10">
            <onfocus>AlarmClock(UpdateDelay,ActivateWindow(3050),00:02,silent)</onfocus>
        </control>
        
        <control type="button" id="11">
            <onfocus>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onfocus>
        </control>

Custom dialog

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<window type="dialog" id="3050">
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
    <onload>AlarmClock(UpdateDelay,Dialog.Close(3050),00:02,silent)</onload>
    <onload>SetFocus(12)</onload>
    <onunload>SetFocus(9)</onunload>
    
    <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="0" delay="5">WindowClose</animation>
    <controls>

        <control type="button" id="12">
            <onfocus condition="!IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(989898))">Skin.SetString(pvrtest,true)</onfocus>
            <onfocus condition="IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(989898))">Skin.SetString(pvrtest,false)</onfocus>
            <onfocus>SetFocus(12)</onfocus>
        </control>
            
        <control type="list" id="989898">
            <itemlayout height="50" width="240"/>
            <focusedlayout height="50" width="240"/>
            <content target="video">pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/</content>
        </control>

    </controls>
</window>

Seems pretty consistent on my Gotham setup (mind evt path changes in Kodi?).
If it works, It could use some nicer code like not using substrings ect. But I'm a bit short on time.

I've tried every combination, it's hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Really odd and not sure why.

Hello MassIV

I just tested with your startup xml,on kodi 15 everything works ok,but still not loaded home panel automatic,I have to manually loaded home panel
with backspace button or esc button .And how you use Custom dialog xml in home panel?

Best Regards

[MassIV]

Try also putting your paths in a VAR. I forgot that was also in Blacks post for home refresh.

Code:

<variable name="PVR_Path">
    <value condition="!Window.IsVisible(3050)">pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/</value>
</variable>

I just tested with your startup xml,on kodi 15 everything works ok,but still not loaded home panel automatic,I have to manually loaded home panel

I thought you only wanted a startup delay until all the PVR stuff was loaded.

Because you need a window load event to reload the list, the idea is to do the reload with an invisible window (and the VAR to trigger the list). For startup I tried to be sure the list could be read by actually loading and reading it in that window. Without that it doesn't always want to.

Anyway for refresh on home you should be able to just use this:

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1697894

Make sure to use a different window ID.

Tray this in Startup.xml just rename
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onfocus> in to <onfocus>ReplaceWindow(accesspoints)</onfocus>

I use this because my skin doesent have DialogAccessPoints.xml
create new xml

DialogAccessPoints.xml

Code:

    <!-- Aeon MQ 6 Helix  -->

    <window>
    <defaultcontrol always="true">9005</defaultcontrol>
    <coordinates>
    <system>1</system>
    <posx>0</posx>
    <posy>0</posy>
    </coordinates>
    <controls>
    <control type="textbox" id="400">
    <left>420</left>
    <top>340</top>
    <width>400</width>
    <height>200</height>
    <align>justify</align>
    <label>If you d'not want to wait to load PVR ,pres button</label>
    <textcolor>FFFFFAF0</textcolor>
    <font>Font_18A</font>
    </control>
    <control type="image">

    <colordiffuse>70FFFAF0</colordiffuse>
    </control>
    <control type="grouplist" id="9005">
    <posx>480</posx>
    <posy>400</posy>
    <control type="button" id="17"><!-- Clear -->
    <width>240</width>
    <onclick>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onclick>
    <onclick>Dialog.Close(accesspoints)</onclick>
    <include>SettingsBottomButton</include>
    <label>Load Home</label>
    </control>
    </control>
    </controls>

    </window>

This work for me in AeonMQ5 & 6 , if you want to automatize start need to have new button <onfocus condition=......
For me this is ok ( just to put some Background picture )



My Kodi is version 15 alpha,PVR is SimpleIPTV with 1834 channels,epg with more then 1000 tags...its litlle slowwwwww but this work

[Piers]

I'm still getting a hit or miss load, I think I'll use the long method to get this working as it's always reliable. Thank you all for the help, though. Or it could be my PVR client, but I don't see why...

Do either of you have a git version that includes your working changes? And, have you tested with the demo client?

[senna99]

I just tested everything is ok,except my boot intro running and running until I press button enter.
I'll try to fix this if is possible.

Thank you Angelinas

[MassIV]

I was using IPTV Simple on Gotham. What skin / version is this for?

[Angelinas]

Write in Code ,I ask author @MarcosQui to give me permission to public video of loading dynamic list in his new skin.(only part with loading,part of home,and part of TV).
Of course , dynamic list will be on home screen.
Skin AeonMQ6
Kodi v15i (with my pull request-not aproved yet,some changes need)
IPTV Simple my version which support changes in pull request

Edit:
I got permission to public this video
Look for your self how works.

In Custom_Loading.xml you can adjust the loading time,depending on how many channels you have.Unfortunately I do not have a lot of channels .

<onfocus>AlarmClock(UpdateDelay,ActivateWindow(0),00:30,silent)</onfocus>

This is a short video

[senna99]

In this way no need to press any buttons, home panel will be loaded automatically.

Best Regards

[Piers]

That's a very pretty pvr loading solution, I'll take a look. Do you have those on git somewhere?

[senna99]

Hello Piers

I do not have on github,I needed to publish new skin a few days ago.
But a lot of times I lost on this.In my case it works quite ok. this combination,you can try it.

Last time I forgot to say thank to everyone who have participated in solving this problem.

Best Regards
