[mythtv-users] jumppoint: Live TV In Guide

[Tim Draper]

just a quick one before i put in a 'feature request', the 'Live TV In Guide'
JumpPoint option seems to behave differently than the liveTV > Guide option.

they both appear the same, but the way it is called/actioned by the FE
appears to be very different:
Live TV In Guide (Jump Point): this can be called from ANYWHERE in the FE,
but the Preview window in top corner, using the mythbuntu theme, is just
that corner of the liveTV feed is displayed....think of the 'Live TV In
Guide' as an overlay onto the full size liveTV feed. When this JumpPoint is
called in liveTV mode, the liveTV feed stops, and then gets reloaded under
the Jumppoint reference.

Live TV In Guide (called via the 'S' key, when in LiveTV): this works alot
smoother than the JumpPoint version, in that when in liveTV mode it will
instantly resize the liveTV feed without a break, and correctly display the
resized image. However, this mode can only be called from the LiveTV feed,
meaning i cant assign the 'guide' button on my remote to this procedure, so
i can access it when i'm anywhere in the FE. i have to press 'LiveTV/watch
TV' and then Guide.

what i'd like is to either call the Live TV guide from anywhere in the FE,
or re-assign the jump point to the correctly functioning guide ('S' key when
in LiveTV)

i hope thats clear... if not, i'll see if I can make a youtube video of it
:)
is there a way to resolve this annoyance, or shall i report it as a feature
request/bug?
i'm running mythbuntu 10.10 & 0.24.1
