you need to click GO after selecting your channel.
If your files have already been downloaded, on clicking GO it will be read from the cached files and it wont go online again.

caching does not mean autoloading btw it only means it doesnt always download from the datasource but it still involves reading from file locally.

To be honest, I've only translated, and never developed, so I hope someone else can answer that question...

hi rama,

thank you for the hint.

in the link you mentioned a multiselect feature. how to do that?
this would be exactly what i would need, otherwise its exhausting
to get the data from the web respective cache for each day
and each channel separately.

besides a feature like "updating several days/channels" it
would be a nice to have to filter programs in the primetime
8-12 p.m. etc, maybe one could highlight it in a different color.
the idea to add events directly in the calendar is great.

@krk969: Did you see this? http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=42

yep and its answered HERE
just follow that post and you should be alright

Oh, yeah I did that, and now that you say it, the data download works as expected
I thought it fixed itself after upgrading but that was not the case apparently.

when you select a channel to view, you can select multiple programmes on that channel
for either viewing in the detail window or
setting a reminder in your N900 SHOWTIME calendar or
performing a remote record

basically when you click a programme in the list its selected and when clicked again its deselected and you can select multiple.

When you click on MYFAVOURITES from the channel drop down all your favourite channels will be preselected so you dont have to individually select them again, but to see the data you still need to click go , this is to save bandwith and processing power, the idea is to see only 1 channel at a time for a selected date and so process only 1 file at a time , its quite intensive, so better not to load your N900 and then to find it struggling.

However, I will see if I can find a good way to load the data for favourite channels automatically for the selected date if it exists.
Ill add this as a user option with a checkbox so user can deselect if needed. Sometime I view only 1 or 2 of my favourites.

Another option is to have different favourites lists , but maybe we are taking it too far for a simple app, no ?

Thanks for your suggestions, its quite thoughtful and I will certainly think about it.
Im only trying to save time for making another useful app for us so I want to limit enhancements unless its absolutely a neccessity

nice idea, will try this ! , but the problem is Maemo5 themes make it difficult to override system colours, when I override its always caused some irregular behaviour , but worth a try again.

cheers

One thing that is irritating is the lagging in lists. Maybe it's not your fault but it's really annoying and you can accidentally pick the wrong thing because of it.

noticed that if you update then the app won't run so if anyone else has a problem then at the moment you need to uninstall and reinstall the updated version.

still think it's a cool app and most useful.

yep thats what I meant, processing these xml's and downloading stuff takes its toll on the N900, which is why I made the usecase for the user to click GO each time and not load everything automatically.

I did think of an option for viewing time, so the user selects his prime time and only programmes in the prime time are shown in the list, but decided against it in the end.
