Hi,
firstly i attach a small patch to fix drawing of the new yellow and blue "buttons" of prefermenu plugin.
Thinking to a better prefermenu i would like to ask something to someone more inside the vdr code: Can i use something like the small menu for Audio track selection to show preferred channels? Doing so i can have a channel menu not too big and looking consistent with the current skin.
Does this sound reasonable to you?
And more important: Did you understand me? really :)
Thanks for your effort, ANgelus.

Well, looking at the code i have a more precise question. Is it, ot it will be, possible to use something like the cDisplayTrack menu for something else that a Track list? Such a compact menu could be really useful to display channel lists, too.
What Kalus thinks about that?
Have a good time, ANgelus.

Well, the cSkinDisplayTracks menu should be generic enough to be used to implement something along that road. Just note that at least the version in VDR itself currently doesn't support more entries than actually fit on the screen (no scrolling of any kind). This menu was originally intended for a "small number" of entries ;-)

Which is the reason why text2skin uses a fixed height and some proprietary scrolling in this display (since there ARE channels with 32 audio-pids *g*).
Wouldn't it be a good idea to handle the tracks menu like the main menu, i.e. VDR implements the scrolling and only sets new item positions and states?
Greetings, Sascha

If Klaus will decide to implement the scrolling of cDisplayTrack in VDR, can i ask to make the track menu implemented in terms of some more general "compact menu" object? Having such a "compact menu" will make implementing a preferred channels list trivial, and can be useful for something else,too: a preferred commands list, or a preferred plugins list, for example.
Goodbye, ANgelus.
