Warming up the productivity engines by putting some effort into my internal satellite TV app, which now has a new product name to go with. Revamping the janky 2015 ObjC codebase with modern Swift. Still an internal app, however, not one I have plans to distribute
Trialed a few Midjourney-assisted icons but ended up going back to a plain glyph. Just looks better on the tvOS homescreen
Major rewrite of my EPG view today; really struggling with making it look nice, but it works
@stroughtonsmith Nice work! I built the EPG view in EyeTV back in the days so I know the challenges 😉
@timac That looks fun. What are you using for the EPG, @stroughtonsmith? I remember having to segment CGLayers on the original iPad UIKit version (and I think I may have even had to do one layer per row) to stay within the texture restrictions. I know that's better with tiled view and better GPUs, did you have to account for anything like that?
@uliwitness @timac I used EyeTV for years; this is hooked up to a Netstream 4Sat and other tuners via a Raspberry Pi with tvheadend (for combining inputs). The EPG view is just rows of cells — it doesn't scroll horizontally, there's no recording or reason to look ahead. I adjust labels to always fit inside the superview frame if onscreen. Colors currently at random but I might hook them up to genre
@stroughtonsmith @timac Haha, it looks like so much more :D Great work!
