Clarify the operation of time remaining/elapsed settings in front panel settings screen

Issue #305 new
prl created an issue

In MENU>Settings>System>Front panel settings, there are three settings that control time elapsed/remaining display for the front panel in live TV and media playback:

  • Show Time Remaining/Elapsed
  • Show Transponder Remaining/Elapsed as
  • Show Media playback Remaining/Elapsed as

"Show Transponder" should be renamed to "Show live TV", since "Transponder" is both obscure and technically incorrect.

"Show Transponder" and "Show Media" both have settings "Skin Setting". That implies (at least to one forum poster) a further setting. Change the name of this setting to "Default" or "Standard".

If "Show Transponder" or "Show Media" is set to "Skin Setting" (the factory settings are for both to be set to "Skin Setting"), then "Show Time Remaining/Elapsed" has no effect on the display of elapsed/remaining time for the item set to "Skin Setting". The help text for the settings should make that interaction clear.

In the T3 default skin, "Show Transponder" has no effect, because the front panel only shows the service name. The help tecx should clarify that the setting only has an effect if the front panel displays progress times.
