Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: New Idea
Dirk, I agree to this, tailoring the user interface for specific tasks is always a good idea. For the "expert" user, we could always have the old-style tv-guide (all info on one screen) hanging around as a plugin or so. Richard. Dirk Meyer wrote: Richard van Paasen wrote: Another idea for the textual version of the tv guide is to restrict the information on one page to either one channel or one time-box. Browsing through the tv guide "pages" (either channels or time boxes) then can be done with the left/right keys on the remote. Walking through rows on a page with up/down. E.g. (channel mode): Channel 1 08.00 program 1 08.10 program 2 09.00 program 3 10.30 program 4 18.00 program 5 ... E.g.

The tv-guide should be able to toggle between "time-box" and "channels" mode. This way more space (i.e. the total width of the screen) is available for a tv guide entry. Time-box mode could step by 5 minutes or so when pressing the left/right (pageing) key. Hope this description is clear enough, mail me otherwise! I just had a similar idea. Why not two types of tv guides. We use the tv guide for two reasons: watching tv now and recording. Both have different needs: Watching now: I want to know what's up at this time on all channels. This is the time boxed mode from above. It is similar to the current guide but you can't select a program, you select a channel. If you select a program in 3 minutes, you still get the channel and the program starts in 3 minutes. So selecting channels is the logic here. Record: I know the channel, so a simple listing area is want we want here. Everyone who tried to record a program the day after tomorrow knows that the current guide can't handle this well. Now we only need a way to switch between the two ways. Comments requested before I do this.

I agree with this idea. Maybe another 3rd screen to view as much info as you can, maybe using a different concept... maybe not using the program size as we do now, maybe with selectable sorting or grouping. For example, we could show programs as blocks and do some kind of grouping, maybe by size, times it was watched/recorded, ... Well... the 2 afore mentioned are enough for now ;) As for switch, we could use the same as other (DISPLAY), or even the GUIDE button. Gustavo ___ Yahoo!

Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: New Idea
No it was actually a freevo based rip off of what the tivo did. It was a working plugin for a while but got broken with some of the changes for 1.5. I was just wondering if the original author had fixed it for 1.5 or was interested in doing it. Will see if i have an old screengrab rshortt sent me on IRC about it. -- Michael Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Tuesday 24 August 2004 23:53, Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri wrote: > > > BTW, I don't like the current tv guide.

After downloading the TV program from the net with xmltv, I usually go through the wole guide to see what's interesting in the coming week (especially in the evenings when movies are scheduled). I have no idea what the proper interface could be, but having as much information as possible at once is what I am used to now. Just my 2 cents.

Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: New Idea
Another idea for the textual version of the tv guide is to restrict the information on one page to either one channel or one time-box. Browsing through the tv guide "pages" (either channels or time boxes) then can be done with the left/right keys on the remote. Walking through rows on a page with up/down. E.g.
