Blue Skin: Recordings - Include Program Description

[ralphy]

What is the keyword to include program descriptions in the Recordings page?

Code:

<DrawCommonImage name="DetailsViewSelectedItemBackground"/>
<DrawImage filename="@previewImage" loc="2,5" size="17,90"/>
<DrawText text="@titleSubtitle" loc="20,5" size="78,25" wrap="false" textStyle="GeneralTextHeaderStyle" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@status" loc="20,5" size="78,25" textStyle="@status" align="Right"/>
<DrawText text="@channel" loc="20,25" size="78,25" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@period" loc="20,45" size="78,25" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@subtitle" loc="20,65" size="78,25" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left"/>

I've tried a number of guessed keywords to replace (and ultimately supplement) the @subtitle line, but haven't been successful so far.

(I'm still in the dark ages with PVRX2 1.3)

no details on the page itself, it's in a popup...@description is is osd and @subtitleDescription in popup..
and @showDescription in tvguide..
each screen has it's own set of vars it can show..
[tho i wish this were more global]

Bummer - I thought this might be the case (having tried the first two keywords already).

Maybe something for the wishlist.

The problem for me is that we are no longer getting sufficient information in the Title or subtitle (specifically episode numbers) in the EPG that make it very frustrating to cull duplicate season recordings and determine what the episode is. If it were possible to include the description on the main page, that would so useful.

I use UltraXML Enhancer to insert the episode info and original showing date into the description so i can see exactly what episode it is..
but that depends on your epg provider having that data in the xml....
not all the data in the epg xml is imported so you might wanna look to see what is included in the raw xml file..
[Ultra can shift the data fields around and include any info you want..]

not really much room to include descriptions with title/subtitle on the main rec screen without clicking on it..
plus it would affect speed of displaying the list..

Thanks pBS - The problem is with the EPG provider (actually a web scrape) - recent changes have seen the episode information no longer being provided.

I'll take a look at UltraXML Enhancer too.
