Favorites Manager

[Brian Schneider]

Need any help on this?  I'm done with the "Record Options" subdialog and the last missing piece there is adding the "Add as Favorite" functionality.

[Michael Reid]

Yes I do.  I was able to make some really good progress but haven't been able to devote nearly as much time as I wanted to.  I will provide the latest code to u in a little while.

Thanks!

Very good.  As far as I can tell once the Favorites stuff is done we will have all of the major functionality in place and then it will be a matter of debugging, adding any important things we forgot, and making it all look good.

[Michael Reid]

I would love to finish it myself but as I mentioned already I'm going out of town and I haven't been able to

Devote to much time.  I hope I haven't been holding u guys up!

I will upload my files in a few.  I'm not going to check them in to svn because I don't have that readily available at the moment...

[Michael Reid]

Here are my most up to date files.  If i get time to work on some things I will touchbase with the group to see what is done and what still needs to be done.

sorry for the lack of doc, but my main focus was learning python, learning boxee ui and getting things to work.

lemme know if you have any questions.

Were u guys able to pull the files off of google groups?

[Tom Miranda]

Yes, but I won't be able to do much with it until tomorrow.

I just uploaded the latest which has an almost working version of the favorites manager.  I'm sure it has bugs, but for the most part it works.  It was a PITA!

[Karl Ricker]

Great. I look forward to trying it out. I will finally be catching up with work this week. I'll be able to look over any GUI stuff if you guys want me to.

[Brian Schneider]

Hey Tom - I'm back in action here and have a little bandwidth to jump back in.  Do you plan on doing any more work on the Favorites Manager any time soon?  Is anyone else working on it?  Looks like it still has a ways to go so I can try to advance it a bit.

[Brian Schneider]

looks like i've been out of it for a while... i can't even get some debug messages to print... did anything change there?  i literally have two debug lines one after another, one prints, the other doesn't.

i'll hold off until things get a bit more stable

[Tom Miranda]

Brian,

The Favorites Manager is more or less complete so if you're getting lots of strange errors something is fundamentally wrong.  Are you sure you have the latest files installed? What error messages are you seeing?

Tom,

Thanks for the email the other night.  The little man is doing great.  It was a simple procedure but still very scary for us because they had to put him completely under.

I'm hoping to get back to it today or tomorrow.

I'm using r209.  In that, I can click a favorite to edit it, but I can't change any of the settings.  Also, some of the fields show up blank (e.g. recording quality).  The only thing that seems to work is to remove the favorite.

[Brian Schneider]

OK scratch that.   Not sure what was going on there, but I ended up cleaning out my entire folder and reinstalling it first from the repo, then r209, now I see a robust screen.  I'll see what might be missing and plug it from there, but looks great!!!

[Tom Miranda]

OK.  Most of it was working but I did not test robustly.  I tried to comment the code so hopefully you can figure out what it's doing.

Tom - I just checked in r215 (updated favorites manager's advanced options dialog with the ability to retrieve and save all 4 settings displayed (parental rating, rated, days, and hours).

Can you test it out?  It works quite well for me.  Biggest pain was the timeslot broken down into days and hours (SageTV stores it as one field, yet the dialog shows it as two fields).  I think it works fine and I did side-by-side testing with SageTV up to ensure the changes made in Boxee were made in SageTV as well.

Anything else you can think of on the favorites manager that needs help at this point?

[Brian Schneider]

PS... could use your help to "cleanup" the look/feel of the UI of the advanced options.  It's definitely not my strong suit... I got it to be functional but would be great if you could try to make it look nice, center it, adjust height/widths, etc.

[Tom Miranda]

OK.  I'll have a look this weekend.

I could use help on Live TV. I've been pulling my hair out for two weeks trying to figure out why it no longer works.  The playback begins and then it inexplicably stops.  I'm totally out of ideas on what to do, I've tried everything I could think of, I give up......

Can you take a look and see if you can figure it out?  Maybe a fresh set of eyes will help.  Start by looking startLiveTV() in main_tv_dialog.xml.

Oh wait that won't work... I can't test it.  I don't have a box.

~Mike

[Brian Schneider]

I'd love to help but I don't have a Boxee Box either.  Perhaps we can work a deal with Boxee to provide us ones given we're putting so much time/effort into this and will drive more sales on their end??? :)

[Tom Miranda]

Wishful thinking Brian :)  I'd settle for them looking at the various bugs that have been reported.
