Unofficial Secret Extra v7 UI Features

In a perfect world, the S-E number order would be the same as the OAD order - but we know that isn't always the case... of course, in a perfect world, you'd have S-E numbers for everything also. Having the option to display S-E numbers if present would work well, but there's already a plugin to do so.. ;-)

I don't use any plugins & I want to see the s/e numbers instead of ID numbers, so that's what it does now.

There is possibly a more robust method possible.. but nothing would be foolproof. You could sort all the non-zero S-E numbers, and then insert the zero S-E numbers after the S-E having episode with the next older OAD... ;-) just trying to make work for you Andy... it may be the best alternative, though...

I already know how it could be done, but it would just add more processing time for very little, if any, benefit compared to simply sorting by orig air date. I'll leave that to a customization so you have something to do.

well, i won't be tackling it, though at the same time, I don't have any missing season and episode info (as I fix any missing parts with BMT or manual tweaking)... so i certainly wouldn't be caring one way or the other... but I wasn't the one concerned with the ramifications of the inconsistent sorting data.

Why the code "5309"? Couldn't the code have been "1234" or "7243" (sage)? Is there a reason why "5309" was selected for the code instead of a number that would be easier to remember?

Maybe it was someone's favorite song.

"867-5309/Jenny" is a song written by Alex Call and Jim Keller and performed by Tommy Tutone. Jenny has been covered by a number of artists, including Everclear, Foo Fighters, Less Than Jake, Mötley Crüe, Green Day, Bracket, Crease, and the Goo Goo Dolls.

Thanks. Maybe the next time I need it I will be able to remember it!

And there were people all over the country that had that number that suddenly started to get all kinds of strange phone calls. Looking for Jenny....

The phone companies took the number off of their lists of available numbers. Don't now if any of them have ever started using them again.

A couple of years ago some had one "for sale" on e-bay.

The existing option to use the malore menus for "Custom Additional Airings" currently only applies to viewing the Future or Past airings for a show. This is being updated to cover the listing of all search results when the option is enabled.

Future Airings - Get the Channel Logo but not the Channel Number.
Is there a means to get the Channel Number (either with or without Logo)?

[Opus4]

I don't understand the question.

[graywolf]

ok. I'll try to explain better, if that doesn't work, I'll see about getting a screenshot tonight.

When you view Future Airings and the 2 pane Malore window shows up, on the Right-Side (I have as 2 rows height),

On the right hand side, I see the Title/Episode icons (m/f, 1, w, etc) date/time then the channel logo (ie. the "eyeball" for CBS, black circle with ABC in it for ABC channels, etc) but in my case, I have multiple ABC channels from different cities (local, NY, LA).

Is there a means of seeing maybe the Call Letters and Channel Number instead of the Logo?

Some shows my wife cares about WHICH station she is recording a show from or if the weather forecast is going to be bad, might want to record the NY station instead of local so as to avoid the "weather alerts" scroll bars or interruptions.

Also, another question I got asked about the Malore Menus:
For Future Airings, Scheduled Recordings, etc, is there a means to have Row Numbers? Wife is used to checking the row numbers to determine if there are stuff above/below or if she has wrapped around (V6). I have V7 on a Test box and trying to get WAF high enough for me to upgrade the Prod to V7.

Channel logos are always shown if a logo exists for the station. And, with the built-in logos, there is often a logo, though it can be somewhat generic for a network, such as the same image for all ABC stations.

You could, however, provide custom logos for each station, as described in Appendix B of the PDF manual. That would make it easier to distinguish between different stations for the same network.

There are no row numbers, but the scroll bars should show the relative position in the list & they wrap if the list has wrapped.

Hello,

I have been playing around with the 'upcoming movies' tool.

That tool uses the malore views.

In the view, I am grouping the movies by title.

When I do this, none of the sort methods seem to work other then sort by alpha.

For example, I change the sort method to by original airing date, and nothing changes in the display.

Does anyone have any info on this?

Thanks
Les

I am getting the oddest problem. When I'm in Recordings, if I select a show from the left side, it automatically selects the top episode on the right side. What I'm thinking it should do is select all of them, so I could perform operations on the whole list, such as archive all, delete all, set all watched/not watched, etc. I'm sure this is my doing, just can't figure out a way out of it other than "scorched earth".

That has always been the case just left arrow and highlight the group.

Go into setup and change the option where select browses the group or supplies information.

Yep, that fixed it, I had been blaming messing with plug-ins. My plug-ins needed a good cleaning anyway. Thanks!
