Hi Helly
Would you consider adding a RECORD BUTTON to the Video OSD ? This is not a PVR thing, but rather a convenient way to launch the Dreamcatcher addon (a stream recorder by TheHighway). The addon will save whatever internet stream you are currently watching (but NOT live streams, ie: TV).
As part of the download, the author has provided code to effect this in any Confluence-like skin, by inserting into VideoOSD.xml:
Code:
<control type="button" id="206">
<posx>330</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>55</width>
<height>55</height>
<label>Download</label>
<font>-</font>
<texturefocus>OSDRecordFO.png</texturefocus>
<texturenofocus>OSDRecordNF.png</texturenofocus>
<onleft>205</onleft>
<onright>250</onright>
<onup>1000</onup>
<ondown>1000</ondown>
<onclick>XBMC.RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.program.dreamcatcher/?mode=Record)</onclick>
</control>
...and 5 PNG images to drop into the skin's media folder.
Of course I hacked into my Xonfluence skin to try it... and it functions just fine. But, having no idea of skinning fundamentals, a side effect was to shove the right-side group of buttons further to the right. You guessed it - the Subtitles popup no longer lines up with it's button .
I presume you could make this a conditional display item, checking for the presence of Dreamcatcher in the system.
Yes, a nice-to-have for the folks interested in using the addon. Please consider it .
Thanks Helly.
Thanks,
I'm going to implement it in the next release. I'm indeed planning to make it conditional in presence of Dreamcatcher.
Helly.
Linked to the above - a feature request of my own (first for me, I think...)
In CCM and xonfluence Isengard I mapped some new buttons in the osd to change audio inputs.
I use
Audio Profiles Switcher, and I put a button in to toggle / go to next audio profile (basically to switch from tv to amp).
It's discussed on
this page.
Obviously those settings are lost when a skin updates, so I haven't bothered adding them to xonfluence jarvis - and to be honest it's not a major issue - I've also mapped buttons on home-screen menus and a toggle on the remote. Plus I doubt many people use that particular add-on, so asking for a mod for it seems a bit lame.
But...
Would it be possible to add one or more configurable buttons to the available space in the osd?
eg if you want a particular button go to skin settings, enable it, enter the path manually (or select from a list, eg dreamcatcher), enter the path to .png's.
Maybe if people use a particular add-on they could post examples / images here (eg the
zip for the audio profiles png's.
That way if anyone wants to customize the osd they can keep those on updates.
Feel free to respond with can't / shan't / won't / too much of a PITA / won't work - it's just an idea.
