reminder looks wierd when starting in live TV

[Ted the Penguin]

ok so I am just playing around with skins, and specifically the reminder. when I start GB-PVR to live TV mode and have a reminder that will activate as soon as I start. the reminder does not always get shown, and when it does get shown the background is blue. this happens with VMR and overlay.

steps to reproduce

• set GB-PVR to start in Live-TV mode
  
• create a reminder for a show that will start soon
  
• exit GB-PVR
  
• Start GB-PVR while that showis playing
  

also, the reminderprompt ignores the size settings for watchbutton and cancelbutton, they are defined exactly as in the resumeprompt

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ResumePrompt" size="720,480">
    <DrawImage filename="..\_res\popup_wide.png" size="520,165" loc="100,100"/>
    <DrawText text="You have previously watched part of this video. Either select Resume to continue playback, or select Restart to play the video from the beginning." loc="110,120" size="500,120" textStyle="OSDText" align="Center" visible="true"/>
    <Element name="ResumeButton" loc="230,215" size="130,38" />
    <Element name="RestartButton" loc="360,215" size="130,38" />
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="ReminderPrompt" size="720,480">
    <!-- knows about @title, @description, @titleAndChannel, @channelName and @durationDescription -->
    <DrawImage filename="..\_res\popup_wide.png" loc="106,106" size="506,267"/>
    <DrawText text="The following show is about to start." loc="120,120" size="400,20" textStyle="OSDText" align="Left" visible="true"/>
    <DrawText text="@titleAndChannel" loc="135,150" size="500,20" textStyle="OSDText" align="Left" visible="true"/>
    <DrawText text="@durationDescription" loc="135,170" size="500,20" textStyle="OSDText" align="Left" visible="true"/>
    <DrawText text="@description" loc="135,200" size="500,100" textStyle="OSDText" align="Left" visible="true"/>
    <Element name="WatchButton" loc="230,315" size="130,38" />
    <Element name="CancelButton" loc="360,315" size="130,38" />
</CompositeImage>

as you can see they are not 130 wide

P.S. please, dont ask about the shows... they are just in the top of the guide:p

You'll probably need to redefine the buttons in that skin file, with appropriate size, rather than relying on the definition from the base skin. It relates to the different resolution used in your skin vs the resolution for the OSD.

that was my next step, the only reason I mentioned it is because the resume prompt acts differently.

what about the blue!!!!?

I would have posted logs, but it didnt say anything in them besides loading the images

what about the blue!!!!?

The blue skin uses the same resolution everywhere.

no the blue around the reminder popup!!, using the overlay renderer its solid.

Not really sure on that one.

AH-HA...

ok so the reminder really doesnt like to stay on screen when watching live TV, so I couldnt take a screenshot of it. but I did figure out a little more.

when I had a reminder popup while watching Live TV, it had the entire main menu attached to it instead of the blue from the picture above. so it looks like it is rendering the main menu when it renders that popup.

my popups look liek that also...flashing from livetv to popup-over-mainmenu...
never seen it over live video like a normal popup...
something to do with trancsparency? i use overlay but last time i tried with vmr same thing...[new vmr custom and fullscreen not usable for me, no aspect control]

[Ted the Penguin]

any new ideas on this?
