I was looking for properties with a malore prefix. I've change that and the scaling of Arial looks much nicer on my machine.

You're right, I must have changed them at some stage. But on the flipside, I was able to have 2 different size fonts. On the whole though, it looks better after changing the font to Arial, so probably not a real issue going forward.

Thanks, that will save my eyeballs swiveling out of my head.

Once more, thanks Andy, you've addressed all my concerns with the changes you've suggested as a result of this thread on top of the ones you had already mentioned as being in a future update.

During all this I did spot something that could be tweaked. There is a couple of watched text themes called "Bold Italics" that are hard coded for Bold Italics. There are properties to change the style of all the other text (now that I know the special multimenu_menu incantation), but not that one.

In Malore... are the episode ID#s related only to my wiz.bin or are those valid to everyone?

If they are only valid for my install I would preffer them gone, I can't think of a way where I could used that information. Obviously I can see how SageTV uses it.

If they are the public season-episode, it would be nice to see them in that format.

Heh... except for reading some of the forum a couple times, I was out with my family all day & only took a few minutes for those tweaks after they all went to sleep.

Great, glad to hear it. I think pretty much everything has been covered now. Oh, wait...

That now uses multimenu_menu_watched_font_style.

OK, that's everything so far.

They are parts of show ID numbers assigned to the airing by the EPG source; for the built-in EPG data, that would be Zap2it. They are the same for everyone using the same EPG data source, not just your database.

I'm glad you make easy requests for things I've already done -- this one was posted here, above.

Sweet!


Possibly off topic...


I REALLY like the new "options" menu you get when you select a series from the left pane. The only issue I have noticed is the play all, it does as you would expect however it would be nice it if played the unwatched first. As it is now it just plays them in (I am guessing) the same order they are displayed in the right pane. This works well the first time you use it, but if you go back you must rewatch or jump through all you watched before.

Noted and done too?

CollinR,

This is easily done if you use the standard STV with Malore.... Just set up an alternate view and set filter to "Not Watched"

I was going to say that this one wasn't done, but a way to do it was pointed out above. Plus, you seem to already know you can use Channel Up to skip items in the playlist... but they may get un-watched if you have the option set to reset Watched shows when watched again... so you may want to use the Watched command before using Channel Up.

But, this one isn't something that can be done in another menu either, so it isn't something I'm changing for this topic. (I'll consider it for a future change.) There is already 1 difference, though: the other recordings menus always play all items in a group from the oldest to the newest recording. The malore menu plays the items in the group according to how they are sorted on the screen.

Opus, IMHO that should be the default!

Instead of having an "alternate 2" with no filtering just make it a "New Recordings" filtered for unwatched.

I think that would kill 2 birds, it will add functionality at the same time display to new users (and no so new ones too ) the major benefits of the new filters and alternate views. This may also do away with the requests for a 0 or 1 alternate view as IMHO thats requested because of the "alternate 2" name without fully exploring how these veiws can be used to our benefit.

(Well thats possibly 3 birds but who is counting.)

Thanks Andy, as far as I'm concerned, you do have everything covered. The spirit of the mlbdude menus now inhabits the mlbdude menus rather successfully. Time for the carcass to be put to rest.

Thankyou mlbdude menus, you've served us well.

Just to update this old request... the v6.3.10 beta RC now asks whether to play all videos in a group, or just those not yet watched. If all or none of the videos in the group have been watched, then they are all played w/o asking. (BTW: this is a standard feature, not a hidden extra.)
