Why a missing case?
You are right, I misread the code. It seems that one of the four context types is not parseable. Since I only get two "Bad character data" error messages during the initial startup of VDR, I am guessing the problem has to do with the skin.
I think so too, but haven't looked into the code yet.
Not to change the subject about the issue above, but would it also be possible to add the left/right scrolling back to the new menu display items (ie; current recordings and next timer)?
I don't think that is too nice to look at ... especially if you have 2 or more recordings which are srolling in all directions (due to the different length of the text). And an additional keypress to go into the timers-menu if it is unclear what is getting recorded seemes not too tiresome to me. Don't you agree?
IMHO, I think that if any text on the screen is cut off, it is better to allow scrolling. Text that is cut off just does not appear aesthetic to me. Does scrolling increase CPU usage very much?
Maybe I will try it and see if it looks good to me. But if I don't include it, it isn't really hard for the user to change this few lines. I don't think that there is a to big drawback if it would scroll ... I think the skin wouldn't be very much slower. But there is still some potential in the patch I added, because now the timerstatus is checked every time you hit a key in the main menu, so it slows down scrolling. I will fix that for the next realease.
Talking of scrolling text: What would you think of scrolling text (in general not only in this case), if it would only scroll in one direction? I think there is no big benefit in scrolling back, as most of us only read in one direction. ;-) On the other side it would be a little more disturbing, as the text would jump back to the beginning ...
