Just wanted to say great work on the new version. Installed it and had no issues to speak of really. Really like the faster response in the recordings submenu. Time to send another donation to keep things going.
My one tiny issue is with the new system submenu. I like it and it works great but the pie chart is a little off. First problem was that darkblue on blue is not very different on my tv's. It is an obvious but very slight difference. So I edited the skin file to go with green for free space and red for used and it looked great. I also changed the little blocks in the legend for the pie chart and thats the rub. You have Totalspace and Usedspace but Totalspace on the pis chart is actually Freespace. So what I was hoping for is a @FreespaceGB variable like the @TotalspaceGB and @UsedspaceGb variables. Then the pie chart would be correctly labeled.
I told you it was a tiny, tiny issue.
The other one is really even smaller. I had my first time conflict while putting a recording in the TV guide. Thats when I noticed that it was a different color, a very slightly different color that looked like a rather odd orange on my TV. Is there any way to change that color in the skin somewhere. I admit I haven't looked very hard yet. Yellow or something else bright would probably be better. Of course I probably wouldn't have used red for good recordings in the first place but thats just me.
Otherwise great work and thanks for bumping the number of captures sources up. Now I have a fourth PVR500MCE and one tuner on it is my seventh GB-PVR capture source and the other is running MyTinyTV (www.mytinytv.com) which is very nice and makes ORB look really bad. It also coexists with GB-PVR very well.
