Also, is it possible to have a second button list on the same screen.
Besides the hidden one at the top, I would like to have a visible one (with different parameters) in the center of the screen.
(sample code ?.......)

Can you point out a similar example in NextPVR of the types of buttons you want?

[jrockow]

I was thinking of something similar to the 3 hidden buttons, only the new buttons would allow me to select which directory I would use to display the recordings.
This goes back to the feature I asked you for awhile back, where I can display ONLY my wife's recordings, my recordings, etc.

You can kind of already do that with the 'Filter' menu in the existing Recordings screen. It can be used to switch to only show recordings made to the "Wife" recording group.

Isn't that 3.2?

I can't remember. Maybe.

Yep, it is in the 3.2.x change release list, but very early in the list. I have a feeling it was added as a patch 3.1.x

[sub]

Yep, it's in johnsonx42's patch list.

I was hoping to make it even easier to use in my own recording screens menu.
So I assume that I can't have 2 button lists?
I'll have to rethink my project.

You probably can have two button list. Just sounds a bit ugly.

You'll need to create another UiButtonStrip, and add it's renderlist in in the plugin's GetRenderList() method. In the skin file you'll need to add something like this:

Code:

    <!--ButtonList-->
    <Element name="MyExtraButtonList" location="0,1.55" size="67.98,4.64" alpha="255" alphaFade="true">
    
        <RoundedRect visible="@button1Selected" location="1.13,12.36" size="18,75.28" fillColor="Selected_Button" borderColor="Border2" radius="0.52" borderWidth="0.15"/>
          <Text text="@button1" name="@button1" location="2.13,10" size="16,80" font="Title3Minimum" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
          <Text text="@button1" name="@button1" visible="@button1Selected" location="2.13,10" size="16,80" font="ButtonListReverse" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        
        <RoundedRect visible="@button2Selected" location="17.13,12.36" size="18,75.28" fillColor="Selected_Button" borderColor="Border2" radius="0.52" borderWidth="0.15"/>
          <Text text="@button2" name="@button2" location="18.13,10" size="16,80" font="Title3Minimum" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
          <Text text="@button2" name="@button2" visible="@button2Selected" location="18.13,10" size="16,80" font="ButtonListReverse" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        
        <RoundedRect visible="@button3Selected" location="33.13,12.36" size="18,75.28" fillColor="Selected_Button" borderColor="Border2" radius="0.52" borderWidth="0.15"/>
          <Text text="@button3" name="@button3" location="34.13,10" size="16,80" font="Title3Minimum" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
          <Text text="@button3" name="@button3" visible="@button3Selected" location="34.13,10" size="16,80" font="ButtonListReverse" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        
        <RoundedRect visible="@button4Selected" location="49.13,12.36" size="18,75.28" fillColor="Selected_Button" borderColor="Border2" radius="0.52" borderWidth="0.15"/>
          <Text text="@button4" name="@button4" location="50.13,10" size="16,80" font="Title3Minimum" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        <Text text="@button4" name="@button4" visible="@button4Selected" location="50.13,10" size="16,80" font="ButtonListReverse" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        
        <RoundedRect visible="@button5Selected" location="65.13,12.36" size="18,75.28" fillColor="Selected_Button" borderColor="Border2" radius="0.52" borderWidth="0.15"/>
          <Text text="@button5" name="@button5" location="66.13,10" size="16,80" font="Title3Minimum" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
          <Text text="@button5" name="@button5" visible="@button5Selected" location="66.13,10" size="16,80" font="ButtonListReverse" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
    </Element>
