xJumpTo - jump to a specific category entry

Postby S Pittaway on Tue May 23, 2006 4:32 pm

xJumpTo


This lets you find a specific item in a catergory, either by specifing a text string or passing in a variable name. I have not coded it but it could be easily be extened to find a given index or a page if needed.

http://www.france.xlobby.com/plugins/xJumpTo.zip (updated on 23 May 2006)



Functions are -

find text exact:catergory>field>text
Search catergory for a "field" equal to "text". This is case sensitive.

find variable exact:catergory>field>var.name
Store a value in var.name, then call this to search catergory for a "field" equal to the value you stored in "var.name". This is case sensitive.

find text:catergory>field>text
Search catergory for a "field" which starts with "text". This is NOT case sensitive.

find variable:catergory>field>var.name
Store a value in var.name, then call this to search catergory for a "field" which starts with the value you stored in "var.name". This is NOT case sensitive.

Sean,

Will this work on EPG or could you make it work on EPG database ? :)

This will be really helpful to be used with XLTV plugin. Currently, when you switch the channel and call in EPG it does not jump to the tuned channel. You have to manually scroll. Maybe, I can use this plugin to automatically jump to a given channel.

it should work on any catergory

its a really dumm bit of code, all is does is call catergory>next untill it finds a feild matching the text passed in...

i use a nebula tv card so i have never played with the epg stuff so i dont know how its stored.
