A new EPG view that supports using images as favorite markers. User can choose which ever images to use in the EPG view. Supports AutoRecorder and AutoTimer search profile creation directly from the EPG view.

Home page and download: http://koti.mbnet.fi/devnull/suomipoeka/enhancedepg

The plugin will look for a config file in the following order (first found is used):
/media/cf/epg_favourites.cfg
/hdd/epg_favourites.cfg
/etc/enigma2/epg_favourites.cfg

The view shown in the screen shot is the result of this config file:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EnhancedEpg/img/red.png    "Decoding the Past", "Titanic", "Ship Ablaze"
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EnhancedEpg/img/green.png    "Universe"
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EnhancedEpg/img/blue.png    "Titanic"
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EnhancedEpg/img/yellow.png    "Titanic"

All png files listed in the file will be available as markers via the EnhancedEPG GUI.

I've got Enigma2 running quite well on DM500C. Check it out here:

A short video available as well.
No links allowed? Oh well...

Google: "An Enigma2 port for DM500"

Should be the first hit. Make sure the server is koti.mbnet.fi..

There seems to be a couple of issues with the lamedb operations:

Yesterday I did do a quick test by asynchronously deferring the session.open() call in MovieCut.__init_() by using a singleshot eTimer and that made the MovieCut plugin work perfectly.

Anyway, if the class is no longer Screen derived the problem will most likely be eliminated in the next release. Let's see how it works out and come back to this then...

You do have a valid point that the Enhanced MovieList is closing the menu "immediately" but this should only cause a fallback to the parent dialog in the session which is the MovieList itself.. Is there some other plugin that also is not working when launched from the Enhanced MovieList? I'd like to see if there's something I need to change to avoid these compatibility issues...

There is no need for a crash log

session.open() can not be called from a constructor of a Screen derived class that is to be opened with session.open() aswell. Only trying to help here

This plugin is calling session.open() from __init__() and it makes it crash with a "modal mismatch" quite often...

How about making this plugin work in real time? When recording is in progress the plugin could pause and resume it to skip commercials.

Here's how I think it could work in theory:

- the plugin works in the background and opens a small hidden PIP style screen of the recorded channel (does Enigma support this?)
- that little screen should be focused on the channel logo (user definable parameters per channel)
- do the magic with the logo with minimum cpu load

Do you think this could be possible? Can you identify commercials with a simple algo from a small portion of the screen, or is CPU power going to be an issue?
