Adding an EPG

Postby ak11 on Sun Jul 04, 2004 11:06 am

I am having some problems adding a XMLTV guide to a skin. The guide section works fine in the default skin but if I copy the guide xml to a different skin xlobby crashes with the white screen with a red cross as soon as I open the guide screen.

I have identified that the problem occurs as soon as the following event is present on the screen.

<eventbutton>
<imagename>xmltv</imagename>
<location>25,230,970,450</location>
<navitem>True</navitem>
<font>Arial,2.05%,regular</font>
<center>True</center>
<type>epg</type>
<keepaspectratio>True</keepaspectratio>
</eventbutton>

The same thing (xlobby crash) happens as soon as I click on the Add EPG button in the Add Category section in the skin editor.

I am sure there is just a simple setting somewhere I am missing, but can not think of what else to check.
Any help will be appreciated.

Just some further info, this is under prerelease 28. I have played around some more and thisonly seems to happen using either the ReDeux II or Colby skins.

If I try to add the XMLTV guide under the jowaldo or default skins it works OK.

Figured it out. The skins were missing a number of the xepg-* buttons. I copied these from the default skin and all is now fine.

ak11,

Do you remember what files were necessary? I found that there were 8 xepg* buttons in the default skin, and only 6 in the Heavy Metal skin. I coppied over the extra 2 but still get the big red X on the screen and the program crashes when I attempt to add the epg to the screen.
