Add mouse support to Myth-plugins

[Anthony D'Alberto <afd1009@…>]

Add mouse support to mythplugins, not necessarily the main mythtv devel. Specifically, add mouse support to mythdvd, mythvideo, and mythmusic. Mouse support should be centered around touchscreen control.

Included are patches to the most recent SVN. Mythtv and mythplugins was touched: Mythtv components such as themed dialog and ui types was modified to add support to lower level controls. MythVideo?, MythDVD, and MythMusic were modified to include "back" buttons and enable touchscreen navigation of some trees. Also included are themes to get the buttons to work properly.

I use this in my car, so the theme and menu are called car. CarPC is the theme, car is the menu.

Mythplugins patch

Could not attach theme because files are too big.

Required patch for mouse to work in SVN 14491

[Anthony D'Alberto <afd1009@…>]

Required patch for mouse in plugins SVN 14485

[afd1009@…]

I've updated the patches to work better with MythMusic and MythVideo?/MythDVD. MythMusic is fully implemented, MythVideo? is implemented as far as I can do without severely modifying the structure of the code.

Mythtv version is SVN 14491, MythPlugins? version is SVN 14485.

Apply the patches with -p0 while in the MythTv? and MythPlugins? directories.

The theme and menu I use are located here:  http://www.pauselivetv.com/cruisinmyth/ Car is the menu, which cuts out TV function, CarPC is the theme with added back buttons and such.

Please enjoy

For what it's worth, mouse support will come as standard with mythui. So long as it doesn't break anything this patch can be applied without any real concern, however it won't last very long at all.

The UI parts of libmyth will be deprecated after 0.21 is released and all of the plugins will be re-written to use mythui by the time 0.22 is released.

MythUI comes with mouse support as standard and the plugins should be converted before 0.22.

I am very interested in these patches! It will probably take a while until 0.22 is released and will take even longer until it's really stable.

I have a touchscreen setup as well. Do you have another patch update ? Or an SVN revision which contains it ?
