[Bug] Net Radio / Element InsetRect

[ShiningDragon]

Hi sub!

Could it be that the Element "InsetRect" has a bug? If i hear an Onlinestream, no visualisation appears. If i go to main menu and come back, then the VIS is there. Or other thing: I start online-Radio -> nothing happens. The Screensaver (with the VIS) starts. If i now go back, than the VIS is running fine.
The InsetRect also displays ONLY if the Windows was started otherwise. Is this plugin not regulary redrawn? Because i am not able to get a clock running too!

Can you confirm this, sub?

Yes, you are correct. This is a bug. I've fixed it for the next release.

I'm guessing its not been reported up until now because the default setting is to not use Windows Media Player (visualisations) with Net Radio - so most people would not have seen it.

Aye, many thanks to you. Now i'll integrate the inset in my skin. I was thinking about to let this outside.

I have a question about the Layer-Technique used by GB-PVR:
Normally you built up the Backgrounds from Ground to Top like this:

<CompositeImage name="Background" size="1280,720">
<DrawImage filename="..\Background.jpg" loc="0,0" size="1280,720"/>
<DrawImage filename="..\Panel_ScreenName.png" loc="16,90" size="268,56"/>
<DrawText text="Net Radio" loc="35,91" size="233,51" transparency="1" textStyle="ScreenName" align="Center"/>
<!-- Element name="InsetRect" loc="321,66" size="938,548"/ -->
<DrawImage filename="..\Panel_NetRadio.png" loc="310,10" size="960,700"/>
<Element name="StationList" loc="320,65" size="940,550"/>
<!-- DrawRoundedRect loc="0,0" size="940,550" radius="1" borderWidth="0" borderColor="Lime" fillColor="#898989"/ -->

The first entry ist the lowest graphic, and the last one lays above them all; i think this isn't working for the Inset. I tried to put this under a semi-transparent Panel, but this didn't work. Can you do something with this to change this behaviour?

The InsetRect is always going to be on the top. Its not possible to clip this rectangle to show other elements over the video.

Oh... mhm... ok, thank you anyway =) Can you something say about the clock-functionality after your bugfix? Can me integrate a working Clock after your bugfix?

[sub]

Huh? Sorry, I dont understand the question. What are you trying to do?

[ShiningDragon]

Ah, no problem ^^ Sorry for this.

I mean: It's possible to use the Tag "@datetime" or "@time" within Net Radio; with this i get the actual clock on the screen. But this one isn't running.
Is it possible to use the Clockpanel within NetRadio?

[sub]

Only the main menu is really designed for showing a continuously updating clock. You could show a time string on other screens, but you'll probably find it wont update until you press a key. So not of much use really.

The main menu is also the only screen that uses panels.

The main menu is also the only screen that uses panels.

Ah good to know, thank you. But one question is left to the Usage if the Inset.

The Inset is on Main Menu too, so far no Problem. I too have the Newsfeedpanel within Mainmenu. So everytime, the Inset is running, the Newsfeed stops immediately.
If i move the cursor, the Feedpanel runs a step, like you described the variable with the clock within any Plugin (only moving when key is pressed).

Is this normal condition?

Another thing is: While Newspanel is active within Mainmenu, the Inset is really slowmotion and look like a Diashow. If i deactivate the Newspanel, the Inset is running fine. I think the error comes from the Newspanel, what do you think?



Sub, thank you for your great support =) And no panic, i have some other things (bugs?) too, but currently no logs available...

I dont really know anything about the news panel. I've never even seen it.
