[01:09:54] iamlindoro: n/m, figured something out
[01:10:18] iamlindoro: There we go, MythVideo and MythNetvision have toMap functions
[01:10:28] iamlindoro: (with thanks to paul-h for giving an example to follow)

[02:04:35] iamlindoro: gbee, FWIW MythVideo and MythMusic both use length (think MythVideo has since pre-.22)

[03:55:14] iamlindoro: paul-h, gbee: I've added the initial map values to MythMusic to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Music-ui.xml ... If any more are added and you are able to keep the docs up to date, that would help. I'll do my best to keep things up to date with changes but I might miss things if you don't do them when you make the changes.

[09:28:37] k-man: what is the toMap function?
[09:37:49] natanojl (natanojl!~jonatan@c83-252-237-63.bredband.comhem.se) has joined #mythtv-theming
[09:41:58] gbee: takes all the metadata etc and puts it into a map container keyed with name, e.g. title=>"King Kong", year=>"1933"
[09:42:48] gbee: internally it just means that the code burden is reduced, you can hand mythui a map and it will handle everything for you
[09:43:33] gbee: externally (themes) it means you can use those names as placeholders in <template> e.g. <template>%TITLE% was released in %YEAR%</template>
[09:46:04] k-man: oh nice
[10:00:47] paul-h: thanks iamlindoro for the wiki updates there's quite a few more that could be added for volume, mute state, playlist status stuff as well that aren't in the map as well as a number of widgets that can be used on any screen derived from MusicCommon. I'll add some of the other later if I remember
[10:02:36] paul-h: gbee: did you say there was already some images for the rating states? Can't see anthing in default
[10:03:41] gbee: there are in Terra, I can't remember if I created something for default, I'll have a look
[10:04:28] paul-h: where would they be used currently? MythVideo ?
[10:10:21] gbee: if anywhere it would be mythvideo
[10:11:35] gbee: the programinfo screens support their use, but I don't think that it's used in the default theme
[10:13:35] gbee: ok, doesn't appear there are any star images in the default theme, I'll add some
[10:13:53] gbee: what's your preference, style/color/number?
[10:16:54] gbee: http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/mimic_aeon.png http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/mimic_movingpictures.png http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/filmstrip_browser.png
[10:17:32] gbee: thought I had more examples than that
[10:19:02] paul-h: Yee I was going to say I like the stars we have in the old interface but more like what iamlindoro has in Arclight where they are always visible but light up as the rating increases
[10:19:51] gbee: paul-h: ok that's easy enough, 5 stars with half star increments or 10 stars?
[10:20:10] gbee: http://miffteevee.co.uk/themes/metallurgy/metallurgy51.png
[10:21:30] paul-h: Yes some thing like that, I'd prefer 10 but not really bothered what ever you think
[10:39:34] gbee: paul-h: let me know if I've got the size wrong or the color needs changing
[11:16:09] paul-h: gbee: looks good thanks :) So I can add a baseratingstate to default with state names from 0 to 10 ?
[11:17:15] Kew (Kew!~kew@4304ds1-hs.0.fullrate.dk) has quit ()
[11:45:39] gbee: paul-h: yep, e.g. http://mythtv.pastebin.com/gHC5BrTs
[11:56:47] paul-h: That's what I have but without any of the <area> elements. Forcing an image size is usually a bad idea I seem to remember someone telling me :)

[12:40:52] k-man: is it possible to run MythCenter from trunk under .23?
[12:59:40] stuartm: no ... not unless I backport the fontdef commit
[12:59:55] stuartm: which I might just do for compatibility
[13:04:54] stuartm: k-man: if you update to the latest fixes it should be ok, at least until someone makes a change which breaks backwards compatibility
[13:05:44] stuartm: you won't benefit from any map changes etc

[22:51:57] iamlindoro: paul-h, Thanks for the updates to the wiki, I hadn't realized that all the stuff from musiccommon was there, I haven't had a chance to check it out yet
[22:55:39] iamlindoro: I am sure I had some good reason for explicitly defining the area in that statetype, I just can't remember what it is and in the final theme I don't use it at all because I thought it was ugly
