Mouse support for MythTV

Hello,
I use MythTV in my car (as well as at home) and have written quite a bit of
mouse handler code in the lower level MythTV libraries and for MythMusic,
MythDVD, and MythVideo. How should I go about getting these additions added
to the current build tree?

I started with the main dialog classes, and added to the widgets. Then I
went into each plugin, and added handlers to the places I needed mouse
presses to work. I use a touchscreen in the car, so I modified a theme to
be more friendly to in-car use and the touchscreen. This code has been
working well for at least a year, and I think it is probably ready for use
for everyone.

There are some things I would like to eventually get working Mainly:
Popup keyboard does not popup when one clicks on a text box
I've added a "back" button to most screens for navigation, need to add more
Write more handlers for MythVideo and MythDVD.

Please let me know how I should handle submitting this code. I used the the
SVN release earlier this year, so I think I am close to being up to date.

Thanks.
Anthony D'Alberto

Best bet is to ensure your changes are valid against latest SVN (svn up
will probably be all that is required - but work on a copy of your tree
if you are unsure as to how well a merge will work).

Then break down the changes into smaller chunks and create patches (svn
diff) and attach them to a ticket or tickets in Trac.

That's the general advice, but one of the devs may decide to take your
changes wholesale via a different means if it is more convenient in this
case.

Thanks, that's what i'll do (submit patches to tickets in trac, and merge
with the current SVN). I will try to get this going sometime this week so I
don't get too far behind on the SVN release.

Anthony.

Hi,

I am really interested in your patches, having a kitchen
touchscreen gathering dust :)

I would be willing to bring them up to current SVN, if you
haven't already completed this (assuming I can manage to do
it, of course!)

Cheers,

Allan.

I appreciate the help. It may be a couple of days before I can get the
patches out, I had to rebuild the development workstation. I would be very
greatful to get these out there.

I just want to be clear though, I have not done any work getting the mouse
to operate with the TV portion of MythTV. That's not to say it couldn't be
done, I just have not concentrated on this.

Let me get everything in place, and I'll try to send either the patches or
the entire development directory.

Sincerely,
Anthony

Just to add another "me too" here. I am in the process of building
my own touchscreen frontend and am really interested in this
functionality. Please keep us posted here of the progress and don't
hesitate to ask for any help you may require in the process :)

Thanks, I will probably be asking for some help in the near future. I don't
know how to get some things wokring, like the popup keyboard and such. When
I get my machine working, i will post my changes.

Sincerely,
Anthony

Re: Mouse support for MythTV [In reply to]

Okay, it has been a while, and finally got my devel system back up and
running.

I've recompiled my version of code, and it works. However, this was an SVN
from at least 3 months ago. It appears the current SVN is very different.
I've been able to get the mythtv patches applied and they appear to work,
but getting the plugin patches working have been trouble.

My biggest question is where is MythDVD? I assume it is now part of mythtv,
but my themes and menus are written for the plugin.

Also, the patches made from my SVN (3 months old at least) do not really
work against the new SVN. So it looks like I may have to re-develop some of
this code. Sorry about that.

SO that's the latest update. I'd like to get at least mythmusic up and
running to see if the majority of the patches work, then I will see about
the rest.

Sincerely,
Anthony

Re: Mouse support for MythTV [In reply to]

All:
I have finally posted my patches to myth and mythplugins for mouse support
Trac ticket #3930. There are some things to note:

1.) The patches were checked against 9/3/07, 9:43pm EST SVN of myth.
2.) Items working are MythMusic - Play and select, not import or add,
MythDVD (back button added), mythvideo - Not Video Gallery. MythTV (TV
functions) have not been modified.
3.) I could not post the theme I modified to get the "back" button to appear
on the plugins and main menu. The theme is about 1.2 MB, and need a place
to send it, so please let me know what I hsould do.

Please check out the patch and my ticket. I'm not familiar with this
process, so I did the best I could.

I will continue working on this as time allows, updating the latest SVN to
add touchscreen support to more items. All changes I made and prefixed and
suffixed with comments. Adding support to more mythplugins should not be
hard, but getting the support in lower level control code is sometimes not
so easy.

Sincerley,
Anthony

Revision numbers are infinitely more useful then date/times when
dealing with SVN.

Running svn info in the checkout root will tell you the revision.

Rob,
Thanks, I'll re-patch tonight's SVN and check the revision number. Sorry
'bout that.

If you just need someone to host the file, I'd be happy to. Feel free
to email it to me, I'll email you back a link.

Chad,
Thanks, I'll send an email requesting the information. My goal is to make
it publically available so people may tweak it and use the "back" and "menu"
buttons I've added to Myth.

Re: Mouse support for MythTV [In reply to]

I've checked the SVN version, and applied the patches against that release.
The version is 14393, and I've added this to the ticket.

Thanks for your help on this issue.

Sincerely,
Anthony
