Egg Timer for TV GUIDE (or anything else that takes time)

[sleptoor]

My big wish is for a Egg Timer type icon for when the computer is "doing something" like loading the TV Guide. It could be just about anything animated that would stop being animated if the PC hung. And during this process it would rock if you could also disable the remotes buffer. My wife in her infinite patience has, and I must admit I have on occassion also, hit the OK button serveral times thinking the remote didn't pick up the button press but then the buffer kicks in and suddenly the app enters the TV guide and opens the description window for a show then exits then enters the show again etc.. repeat depending on how much of a freak you where with the remote.

I'd love this to be a feature.....

thanks

If you are using GBPVR through a HTPC and not through the MVP, you can eliminate some of the extra button presses by using the BleepBloop plugin to add notification sounds for button presses. All the buttons should have a default sound that can be assigned to them, it comes with sounds for move, select, and cancel respectively.

Right after I wrote this message I found the "bleepBlop" plugin and yes it does eliminate the need for the egg timer....perfect. It does have a funny glitch that I'll bring up with the plugin developer, the sounds don't work if the application doesn't have focus....

Well, I'm the plugin developer, and I'll see what I can do to test it. Post a message in the Plugin Support and I'll follow up there.
