JumpPoints blocked by MythNotify

[warpme@…]

Current master has following bug with JumpPoints: if user tries to use JumpPoint while MythNotify is displaying - JumpPoint isn't working. JumpPoint is also not working after diminishing notification. User must press Esc to unblock JumpPoints.

Steeps to reproduce:

1.try any action causing MythNotify notification

2.when notification is displaying, try any JumpPoint (it not works)

3.after diminishing Notification, try again any JumpPoint (still not works)

4.press Esc

5.try again any JumpPoint (now works again)

According to the wiki ​https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythNotify , MythNotify uses an obsolete protocol, and it would be better to use MythMessage. Can you run a test to see if MythMessage causes the same problem. see ​https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythMessage . You can send MythMessage using the mythutil program.

oh my mistake :) I'm using of course MythMessage?.

[Peter Bennett]

I cannot recreate this. I tried the following -

1. Assigned key ctrl-alt-v to jumppoint video browser
2. Play a recording
3. While recording is playing, run this command :

mythutil --message --message_text "Test message" --timeout 5

4. I see ""Test message" displayed over the video for 5 seconds then it fades
5. I press ctrl-alt-v and I see the video browser.

I tried the same test with this command :

mythutil --notification --message_text "Test message" --timeout 5

I got the same result.

I tried again, pressing ctrl-alt-v during the display of the message and the notification. It still works and goes to the video browser.

I also tried when there is no playback - works every time ...

Peter, Thx for looking for this ticket!

May You pls try following:

-define jumppoint for 'Main Menu' (i.e. Alt+H)

-enter i.e. MythMusic

-send mythnotify

-while You have notify on screen - press Alt+H

in my case myth there is no expected jump to main menu. (without mythnotify on screen all works OK)

[Peter Bennett]

OK I can reproduce it now without plugins.

1. Go into Program Guide
2. Run this

mythutil --notification --message_text "Test message" --timeout 10

3. During the time the message is displayed press Alt-h
4. the message goes away but the jumppoint is not taken until you press escape.

If you wait until the message has faded, the jump point works OK.

The problem does not seem to exist if using --message instead of --notification.

Fixes #12586 - Jump Points not working when a MythNotification? is displayed.

Peter, Thx for working on this ticket. It looks like we are almost there. Only issue I have now with jumppoints and mythnotify is mythmusic.

Pls try jumping to main menu when You have mythmusic running.

In my case notification disappears but myth still stays in mythmusic instead go going to main menu.

Perer - forget my last comment (#9). I tested wrong version.

All seems to be perfect with r510.

Thx for your work on this ticket!
