I meant being able to have a keymap section applicable when those various sub screens are active, rather than meaning a mapping command to launch that screen (which already exist as pointed out ). Rereading my post I can see how either could be inferred

Is this something you would consider adding xhaggi?

could you give me a real world example what do you want to differentiate from default mapping?

@xhaggi I know it's like opening a can of worms talking about going backwards in time in the EPG, but could going back (perhaps -90 mins) in EPG timeline be like going left in the TV Channels page i.e. it opens a side panel, only this panel has the channel groups which could be selected up or down. This would work for people with minimalist remotes also. (I'm ok, I'm using a Harmony remote)
What do you think? Would this be possible?

Sorry for my ignorance but how I test this changes? I need to compile something?

We definitely need a better solution for this issue, but not only for the epg grid. i've started a PR/discussion for this at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/3885
BTW i think we will find a nice solution to quick access the sidebars. For now it's up to the skin to use the <onback> action to focus the sidebar, see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...R.xml#L872

Thanks for the tip @xhaggi, I'm using the superb "eminence" skin from @jurialmunkey http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=187071 and using

Code:
<onback>9000</onback>

in @jurialmunkey's https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.emi...R.xml#L317 works to focus the sidebar. I'll ask him if he'd have a look at this thread and maybe he'd think about implementing this, even if pro tem.

How can I compile xbmc which includes these features?
or any patch set for Dharma source?

**negge** · 2014-03-22, 23:24

@diglam: you're supposed to grab the latest version (which contain all these patches), not use an ancient one.

I compiled from git-master branch but no such feature, like separate window for channel groups.

**negge** · 2014-03-24, 22:17

Oh that one, yeah that has never been merged.

we use this thread to discuss most of the improvements for the pvr section. the feature you miss is on hold until xbmc gotham final is released.

Another thing that is a bit annoying is traversing vertically in the EPG. Say that you are on channel 1 and on the currently playing show, then press down, now, if there are multiple shows overlapping in time on channel 2 with the currently selected on channel 1 it selects the leftmost, even if that show has already passed.

What i would expect is that if you go up or down, while initially on a currently playing show, I would expect it to also align with currently playing shows on other channels. not sure if that was clear.. can take a snap shot showing it.

**xhaggi** · 2014-03-25, 11:48

@ProsjektX yeah i know this issue so that was clear enough for me Wink

.. it's on my todo list but with no high priority.

LSU Jonno · 2014-03-25, 15:24

xhaggi,

Do you make PVR mods to the default confluence skin?

One feature that I think would be cool is to use the program picture provided by the backend when scrolling through different TV shows on the EPG instead of the channel icon next to the metadata.

XBMC already uses this picture in the PVR recorded TV section when you highlight a TV show, I think it would be cool to show this picture next to the metadata on the EPG. If no picture is available then show the channel icon as is shown now.

This would mimic how most settop boxes and WMC work in the EPG:

I alredy solved this,but this mine is unofficial Smile

First of all you must have right EPG.xml with pictures.Then you must change official PVR and finaly change skin (ViewPVR.xml)

An improvement I would love to see the when the EPG is launched the first channel shown in it should be the last channel I left off at. It'll do this when a current stream is playing but it doesn't do this if a stream is not playing. The reason why I ask for this is if I'm watching a miscellaneous program I don't want to record and have to get up and leave my apartment for a while I want to start off with the last played channel do I can catch the next episode of the program if its a rerun

similarly everytime I use the "LiveTV" button on my remote to go to the channel selection screen (bound to one of the ActivateWindow(MyPVR,x,x,) commands), it seems to have an odd starting position. I would expect it to start on the last channel highlighted when i left the screen. instead it seems to be either at the top of the list, or on a channel I did not ever select or even leave highlighted
