GB-PVR / MainMenu Question

[ShiningDragon]

Hello again,

because of some error-entries in my logfiles i wanted to ask about something:

What means the following line within the skin.xml in the MainMenu Skin?

<!-- special elements -->
<SpecialElements>
<SpecialElement name="Buttons" loc="17,87" spacing="50" alwayCentered="false" maxVisibleButtons="8" allowTopBottomWrap="false" showNumbers="false" />
<SpecialElement name="TaskDescription" visible="true" loc="320,477" size="384,50" align="Center" />
<SpecialElement name="TaskImage" visible="true" loc="358,160" size="190,210" />
<SpecialElement name="MoreUp" loc="155,57" />
<SpecialElement name="MoreDown" loc="155,487" />
<SpecialElement name="ForegroundTransparency" percent="80"/>
<SpecialElement name="Inset" loc="490,150" size="180,150"/>
<!-- plugin panels -->
<SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="NextRecording" visible="true" transparency="1.0" loc="266,10" size="492,46" />
<SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="Clock" visible="true" transparency="1.0" loc="0,0" size="256,56" />
<SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="News" visible="true" transparency="1.0" loc="0,532" size="765,50" />
</SpecialElements>

This is my master-question. I have one or two plugins using, which are not working right, but i have to find out more (only get error message within the log like "unable to find OnScreenKeyboard.xml", which i don't have on my harddisks)

The inset is used for specifying where the music visualizations window appears when using Windows Media Player for audio. This setting is commented out in the default blue skin.

I have no idea what OnScreenKeyboard.xml is, or what plugin uses it.

On Screen keyboard is from Fastfind I think. And I use it in ML2.

Interesting, but i don't use "fastfind". I'm even not know, what fastfind is... :confused:

I am using the following (external-)Plugins:

CDPlayer 0.6
DVDRipper
MyMusic
MyPictures
MyPrograms
RSSFeeder
WeatherPlugin (awful translation @ german from google...)
WebCam Plugin

Use one plugin of these above the ominous "OnScreenKeyboard.xml"?

I think one of the MyXxxxx plugins uses it.

I'll look into this, thanks for this important hint.

Good zo know this. My Main-Intention is to fix all this error messages in the logs. I think that many small problems (lags within GB-PVR, big Memory Usage) don't come from GB-PVR, i think these little "bugs" comes from not 100% right working plugins.
I'll find out these and replace them or remove them.

just copy any of the .xml files in the keymappings directory and rename it to onscreenkeyboard.xml and the error will go away. i intended to make the keys for the onscreenkeyboard configurable but never got around to it (so i forgot to include a dummy .xml file in earlier versions of my pics 3, ones included in the latest version on the wiki).
