Timeout setting for Channel Info (sec.)

[juusso]

It is a little too long, maybe we could change this? I`m talking not about ChannelInfo while we switch channels (patch you just finished). But Channel Info duration when it is invoked by INFO RC button. On my TV it is 10 sec long. Sometimes we just need to chek program name or check clock, no need to staring at infobar for whole 10 sec

checked disasm and it should only show for 2 secs, no idea (yet) why it shows longer

[bugficks]

well i've thought that might be the timer for it since we're patching ShowChannelBanner

CViewerManager::StartChannelBannerTimer

This forces TV use default 10sec even by channel switching. Interesting feature, but not what we`re searching...

i doubt thats a good idea
what your doing is:
pointer_to_viewer_instance[0x10] to pointer_to_viewer_instance[0x5]

and it looks like the at index 0x10 is the thread that viewer instance belongs to is stored

[bugficks]

look for StartBannerTimeout references... that function often has 0x2710 as argument which is 10 secs

[zoelechat]

Good idea. I didn't dare to suggest it but now ChannelInfoApp exists, I also find these 10 seconds really too long

[bugficks]

i might have found the spot finally. no idea how i should distinguish channel change or info key from rc though. if i do a patch it would be for both
