TV Listings 2 - Support Thread

How does one go about deleting the wrong channel from the database? I have lots of old channels (thankfully no conflicts just yet) and would like to do some house cleaning. I have SQLiteSpy and can view these in the database, but it appears I can only edit one cell at a time (i.e., delete the value, but it still leaves the record)...I would want to delete the entire record for old channels.

In my opinion, it is prefereble to make undesired channels invisible using the Config app. the options include ...

Un-ticking Enabled in Capture Sources -- Edit.

Creating mutiple guides in Plugins -- TV Listings -- Settings -- Guides tab.

Hi,
did a fresh install of GBPVR, using a backup of gbpvr.db3
installed latest tv listings plugin, but get this when entering TV Listings:

Code:

Installed 2.5 with no problem. It looks nice, and I'm working on the skin for CS3.

Is there a way, and if not, would it be possible, to disable the images used for programs in the grid? I would prefer to still use the "named colors" and genre colors rather than the image. But the colors seem muted by the images.

I like the arrow image, and perhaps could add some transparency to allow it to overlay the underlying grid color. (if that makes sense?)

I'm not sure if you want to disable channels in gbpvr or in the plugin, but I think graham already gave the answer to both:

please zip and attach your complete pvrx2.exe.log and I'll have a look.

okay, I'll try to explain a bit. Since the new release, a programme is drawn by combining three images (left, middle, right) as defined in the skin.xml file.

However, genre colors and colors for the recording status are still possible. This is achieved by drawing the three images using a color matrix that emphazises or softens the R-, G-, B- and Alpha-Components of the image with the values that are defined in the genre- or recording-color (which is also the reason that you can only use solid colors for those).

One major advantage of this solution is (from my point of view) that the shape of the images remains the same, and transparent areas of the images are not colorized at all. For example, it is also possible to use a rounded rectangle image for programmes and still colorize them according to their genre.

There is no way to completely disable this procedure, but of course you could just define to draw nothing in the composite images for programmes. But if there is nothing to draw, there is also nothing to colorize according to the defined genre- or recordings-status-colors.

So I'd suggest to still define images for programmes, so that there's something to apply the colormatrix on.

Thanks, I think I understand. I do, however, prefer the gradient color of the recording status in the grid. I think it's easier and more flexible to customize the 'named colors' than to create all the various images.

Would it be possible to have the gradient colors under the images so that it shows through transparent areas of images?

I'll try modifying the images to see if I can get the look I like.

Thanks again for a great plugin.

yes, I agree that it's easier to change some colornames than images. But I wanted to do something new, and went away from drawing boring rectangles and dropped support for gradient-colors (which I personally have never used, so that might be bit self-serving), sorry.

I had already dissabled these and am geting along fine, but every once in a while, one of these pops up in some utility. I was just thinking it would be good to actually clean them out of the data base as I know I will never need them in the future.
