Brand/Channel selection for Recent items

[dagwieers]

Currently the "Recent items" menu filters out Ketnet and Ketnet Junior, which is quite arbitrary. Since we now have the "My recent items" menu, we may want to remove that filter altogether, or instead opt to make that filter configurable.

Currently the only way I can see this work now is that we have a separate "Channels" tab in the addon Settings, with a list of Channels and an on/off switch. This would be the filter for selecting which channels would affect the default "Recent items" list.

So for the "grown-ups" profile, this would be configured to exclude Ketnet and Ketnet Junior. And for a "kids" profile, this would be configured to only include Ketnet and Ketnet Junior. Users could also opt-out of Sporza or Radio-related material, so that makes perfect sense IMO.

The only downside is that this list of channels/brands is in fact hard-coded in the settings. Which in itself isn't that big of a problem, the list of channels is hardcoded anyway.

Any thoughts ?

We can use xbmcgui.Dialog().multiselect() for this. I need to test how we can turn this into config items though. The other option is to have a settings-tab with a switch for each channel, and a section-header making clear this only affects Recent and Offline listings.
