X-NEWA NextPVR Options unavailable

[spider]

When my "Upcoming Recordings" list is empty on the home screen, I am unable to access the NextPVR Options menu using the left arrow to get to all recordings, the guide, etc. I cannot use the down arrow on the remote either to access the What's Next list. This happens in the Confluence skin.

I have switched to the Classic skin and it does not have this problem. Besides forcing an upcoming recording, is there a resolution to this issue? I am on version 2.4.3.

You clearly need to record more stuff.

In the add-on's folder you need to go to resources/skins/Confluence/720p and edit nextpvr_home.xml. Find the control button with an id of 999 (it should start at line 881) and replace it with this:

Code:

        <control type="button" id="999">
            <description>Fake button for initial focus</description>
            <left>1280</left>
            <top>720</top>
            <width>1</width>
            <height>1</height>
            <label>-</label>
            <font>-</font>
            <onleft>2000</onleft>
            <onright>248</onright>
            <onup>249</onup>
            <ondown>249</ondown>
            <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
            <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
            <visible>true</visible>
        </control>

Restart XBMC. Once you do that, XNEWA will now, in essence, not automatically highlight anything when you start it. Left will open the menu blade, right will highlight the first line of upcoming recordings, and up or down will highlight the first recent recording. Martin would need to decide if he'd like to include this change permanently, but at least it'll get you working again.

That's too simple pkscout, thanks! I was wasting time trying to figure out how to pass a variable to the SetFocus option.

Edit:I added <onright>999</onright> to 2000 to make it complete

That looks like it worked. Of course, now I've got upcoming recordings again, but it should be empty again this evening I believe.

Looks good tonight with nothing in the upcoming list.

I've also updated this for 2.4.4 which should be out this week.
