2.5.5 - flags on recordings

[McBainUK]

Is there a setting that makes this work? I've tried on all types of recordings but don't see anything visually different.

You mean the red/green/blue/yellow buttons? Are you using a keyboard (Alt-R, Alt-G etc) or a remote? What recording list were you in at the time (pending, whats new, ready etc)?

They work here, though they only appear when the flagged recording is selected (highlighted). It would be more helpful if they appeared on all recordings.

+1 on that

[johnsonx42]

they'd be even more helpful if my wife would agree to use them... her exact words, with her best naughty smile, I believe were "now, dear, you don't really think a little red dot is going to stop me from deleting your recordings when I want to do you?" No, I don't suppose I do... she's a pip.

Works with the keyboard (I tried that before posting but mistakenly used ctrl-R instead of alt-r). Does not work with the 45-button Hauppauge remote. My irremote ini has BLUE={ctrl}b (like it halways has done), should that say {alt}b instead?

[johnsonx42]

yes, alt-b/r/y/g are used now, the ctrl- versions are deprecated.

[McBainUK]

OK. I will update my irremote.ini.

If you add the following lines to the recordings2.xml file in the skin default recordings directory, the colored flags will be displayed for all recordings, not just the selected recording.

Add:

Code:

<Image source="red.png" visible="@flaggedRed" location="79,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
<Image source="green.png" visible="@flaggedGreen" location="83,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
<Image source="yellow.png" visible="@flaggedYellow" location="87,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
<Image source="blue.png" visible="@flaggedBlue" location="91,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />

In this section, like this:

Code:

<Element name="ListItemNormal" location="0.77,15.55" size="60.26,9.52" alpha="255" alphaFade="true">
    <RoundedRect location="0.15,0.15" size="99.7,98.45" fillColor="Normal_Recording" borderColor="Accent1" radius="0.77" borderWidth="0.15"/>
    <Image source="watched.png" visible="@alreadyViewed" location="1,5" size="2,90"/>
    <Image source="red.png" visible="@flaggedRed" location="79,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
    <Image source="green.png" visible="@flaggedGreen" location="83,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
    <Image source="yellow.png" visible="@flaggedYellow" location="87,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
    <Image source="blue.png" visible="@flaggedBlue" location="91,10" size="10,35" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
    <Text text="@name" location="2.5,10" size="82,40" font="Title1" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
    <Text text="@status" location="50,15" size="48,40" font="DefaultSmall" align="Right" valign="Center"/>
    <Text text="@period" location="2.5,55" size="88,40" font="DefaultSmall" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
    <Text text="@channel" location="50,55" size="48,40" font="DefaultSmall" align="Right" valign="Center"/>
</Element>

Make the change BrettB suggested above. That was what I thought I was distributing. I checked and found it was that way in my own files, but not in the set I distribute.
