#4504 closed enhancement (fixed)

Extend guide to show unavailable channels in a different color (multirec)

Description

This patch extends the idea of showing unavailable channels in the channel column with a "X" buy giving those channels a different theme-able color. It also prevents the guide from closing if you select an unavailable channel. In order for this to work, the following needs added to your theme in the "guide" container:

<unavailablecolor>#ff0000</unavailablecolor>

Note, the same problem in 4503 still exists here.

Mark, can you update this to apply to the latest svn?

The code in isUnavailable() probably needs changing to match the fix where chinfo is repulled when trying alternatives with the same channum.

Daniel, can you point me to that patch?

Thanks, Mark.

Sorry, this was a local patch. Janne has already committed a different fix, so there is no need for any updated patch from you. I'm testing this now.

(In [15633]) Refs #4504. Greys out text of unavailable channels, yellows text of favorite channels in EPG.

Mark, I like the concept but I think this requires a little more work. As is, this color color is overridden if something is marked with another color (say for a scheduled recording). Also the suggested 'red' is also the same color as the news item category color. I think it would make more sense if this modified the existing saturation or intensity color, so that all scheduled items would shift noticibly toward grey when the channel is in unavailable.

In the meantime, I've implemented a 'graying' of the channel name text in the EPG for unavailable channels (and a yellowing for favorite channels).

I'll see how we can work this into a mythui guide using statetypes, so the exact representation would be up to the themer.

GuideGrid? was missing statetype corresponding to existing text state. Fixes #4504
