Help menu in main screen errors

Issue #301 resolved
Former user created an issue

There appears to be no logic in order. I suggest you start at top of remote display and work down to bottom. There are a huge number of errors or duplications.

  • Delete “Open service list and select previous channel” (UP arrow) opens service list only. This is already allocated to TV button.
  • Delete “Open service list and select next channel” (UP arrow) opens service list only. This is already allocated to TV button.
  • "Show radio player" is repeated at last entry "Listen to radio"
  • “Switch to previous channel” does not work.
  • “Switch to next channel” does not work.
  • "List EPG function".
  • “show EPG ” should be capitalised “Show EPG”.
  • “Show program information” sis the same as “Show EPG” 2 lines above
  • “Switch to previous subservice” is same as “Switch to previous channel history”. -- Delete this
  • “Switch to next subservice” is same as “Switch to next channel history”. -- Delete this
  • “Seek forward” does not have an associated arrow and should be renamed "Fast/slow forward".
  • “Seek backwards” should be "Seek fast/slow reverse".
  • “Seek forward (enter time)” should be "Go forward (timeshift programmable)".
  • “Seek backwards (enter time)” should be "Go backwards (timeshift programmable)".
  • “Pause playback” (yellow button) does not work– should be deleted as it is already allocated to pause/play button.
  • "Continue playback" is repeated 4 lines below
  • “Toggle a cut at present position” (0 button) Should be marked as "Toggle a cut at present position (playback only)"
  • “View extensions” (BLUE button) does not work.

    • Delete “Open service list and select previous channel” (UP [DOWN?] arrow) opens service list only.This is already allocated to TV button.
    • Delete “Open service list and select next channel” (UP arrow) opens service list only. UP and DOWN in live TV are not the same as TV (which is the same as FAV). UP and DOWN default to showing the current channel list. TV and FAV show the bouquet selection list.

    MENU>Settings>TV>Channel>Selection>Channel list cursor behaviour changes the behaviour of the UP and DOWN buttons in the channel selection list. It defaults to "Keep service", where when you press UP or DOWN to enter the list, the list focus remains on the current service. However, if the setting is Standard, it does as the help text describes: opens the service list and moves the focus up or down one place from the current service.

    There are other settings for the channel selection list, too. Ideally the help text for UP and DOWN should reflect the behaviour set by MENU>Settings>TV>Channel>Selection>Channel list cursor behaviour.

    But otherwise, yes, the help text generally, and particularly the help text for live TV need a lot of work. In places there are double entries for the same button, some active buttons are missing help text and the help text is often inaccurate or unclear.

    The problems with HELP messages are being addressed. I think that most of the specific issues listed here have been fixed, but I want to leave this bug open until the ongoing improvements to the HELP system have been completed.

    Fix Bug #301 - [Rc, HelpMenu] Allow for more button indicators in HELP screens

    [Rc] Increase the number of indicators to 16, mainly to allow for numeric key help where all the buttons have the same description (e.g. in zap channel by number). This already happens in HELP for live TV, and without this fix, only 4 of the 9 active buttons (1-9) are indicated.

    [HelpMenu] Fix a race condition on HELP screen exit that is triggered when there are more than ~6 button indicators.

    Requires corresponding commit 05d2bb1 in branch Fix-bug-301-10 in skin-default repository.

    Fix Bug #301 - [SoftwareManager, ] Action map cleanup

    Various cleanup and enhancements to Action maps.

    Changed some NumberActionMaps to ActionMaps where the ActionMaps didn't use the number buttons.

    Merged some ActionMaps and reduced the number of contexts (and adjusted the action names as needed) used in some action maps (and sometimes both at once). The mergers were sometimes permitted by HelpableActionMaps now allowing more than one context.

    Added help in some ActionMaps where it was previously impossible to have because they had more than one context.

    Some minor text corrections.

    Fix Bug #301 - Better handling of HelpableActionMaps with entries with no help

    If a HelpableActionMapwith a mapping with no help has a higher (lower number) priority than another mapping with the same action name in another HelpableActionMap, the help for the overridden mapping is shown in the help.

    This fixes that problem, and implementing that fix required dealing with helpableButtonSetupActionMap mappings, which I previously wasn't aware of.

    This fix is required for implementation of UP/DOWN as switchable between opening the channel list and initiating skipping.

    Minor PEP8 fix in [ActionMap].

    Fix Bug #301 - [TimerEntry, PowerTimerEntry] HELP screen and settings description info improvements

    [TimerEntry]

    Added HELP screen info.

    Made TEXT button hint work, and allow control of display of the onscreen keypad to fall back to ConfigListScreen.

    Tidied up coloured button widgets.

    Rework setting description text to clarify it and align it with text for the same function in [PowerTimerEntry]. Added text for entries with no description.

    [PowerTimerEntry]

    Added HELP screen info.

    Tidied up coloured button widgets.

    Added setting description text and hook to display it.

    Requires HELP and TEXT button hints added in branch Fix-bug-301-12 in repository skin-default.

    Fix bug #301: [EpgSelection] Minor help text fixes

    In the two single-channel EPGs (EPG_TYPE_SINGLE & EPG_TYPE_ENHANCED) correct the help screen text fro UP/DOWN from 'Go to previous/next channel' to the correct 'Go to previous/next event'.

    Also add the help text 'Enter number(s) to jump to channel' to all the number keys, not just '5' in EPG_TYPE_ENHANCED.

    Fix bug #301: Help menu in main screen errors - simplify MovingPixmap

    Remove overcomplicated code to calculate intermediate points when moving a MovingPixmap.

    Retain the calls to the pixmap offset support in Pixmap, protections against startMoving() being called before the widget instance is created, and ensure that the pixmap ends at the exact path segment endpoints rather than potentially being affected by float-to-int round down.
