Themed Menus
The Themed Menu feature allows users and themers to customize the content and structure of hierarchical pop-up menus. This customization is in the form of an XML file in the Theme directory or under the user's home directory.
Users may be most interested in the new Compact menus, which allow the user to collect and reorder their most commonly used menu items into a more convenient list and hierarchy.
Note: Themed Menus are currently in Beta release.
As such, more menus will eventually become customizable, and many of the action names will be deprecated and renamed.

Overview
A Themed Menu is a simple XML description of a hierarchical menu,
consisting of menu, item, and
itemlist elements. Here is an example of a themed menu
for the Playback OSD.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu text="My Themed Menu">
<menu text="Submenu">
<item action="TOGGLESUBDELAY" text="Adjust Subtitle Delay" />
<item action="TOGGLEAUDIOSYNC" text="Adjust Audio Sync" />
<item action="ADJUSTSTRETCH" text="Adjust Time Stretch" />
</menu>
<menu text="Another submenu">
<item action="PAUSE" text="Play" show="active" />
<item action="PAUSE" text="Pause" show="inactive" />
</menu>
</menu>
This example defines a menu which, at the top level, consists of two submenus, titled "Submenu" and "Another submenu". Navigating to the first submenu shows a list of three actions. The second submenu would actually offer only one action, labeled "Play" or "Pause" depending on current state of playback.
In addition to the item element, the
itemlist element expands an action group into a list of
actions, which is especially useful when the actions depend on the
particular recording or context, such as a list of track names.
Menu file description
A Themed Menu XML file contains a single top-level menu
element, whose text attribute is displayed as the menu
title.
Below we describe in detail the set of available XML elements, along with each element's available attributes.
Menu items are enclosed within a menu element. Nesting
menu elements creates a submenu hierarchy.
Example:
<menu text="My Menu Title">
<menu text="My Submenu Title">
...
</menu>
<menu text="My Other Submenu Title">
...
</menu>
</menu>
The text attribute
This is the text displayed as the title of the menu or submenu. The text is translated using MythTV's translation infrastucture, so it is wise to reuse existing, already-translated strings for Themed Menus that are distributed to others.
The text attribute is required (otherwise the menu name
will be blank).
The item element
The item element describes a menu item with a concrete
action. Each item contains internal "show" and "current" state that
can be used to partially control the display of the item.
A given item is displayed only if it is actually allowed in the current context. For example, the actions related to jumping to DVD menus would only be shown during DVD/BD playback. Similarly, most of the Picture-In-Picture actions can only be shown while PiP/PbP is active.
Example:
<item action="PAUSE" text="Play" show="active" /> <item action="PAUSE" text="Pause" show="inactive" />
The action attribute
This is the name of the action to execute when the menu item is selected. See below for a comprehensive description of available actions.
The action attribute is the only required attribute of
the item element.
Note: All action names are subject to future renaming.
The action names correspond to their internal MythTV names and are being exposed externally for the first time. Future normalization and cleanup will likely deprecate and change many of the current action names.
The text attribute
This is the text that appears in the menu item. Every action has a
default, translatable text string, so in most cases the
text attribute can and should be omitted. Some actions
actually have two default strings, one for the "active" state and one
for the "inactive" state.
If you need to specify or change the text attribute, and you plan to distribute your XML file to others, try to consider the translation issues. In partcular, try to reuse strings that are already translated.
The show attribute
The show attribute can take two possible values: "active"
and "inactive". If the show attribute is present, then
the menu item is displayed only when its "show" state matches the
show attribute.
show="active" and show="inactive" are
typically used in two situations. The first situation is when the
action toggles some state, and you want different text
attributes depending on the current state. Example:
<item action="PAUSE" text="Play" show="active" /> <item action="PAUSE" text="Pause" show="inactive" />
The second situation is when you want to suppress a menu item when the action would essentially be a no-op, such as disabling subtitles when subtitles are already turned off. Example:
<item action="DISABLESUBS" text="Disable Subtitles" show="inactive" /> <item action="ENABLESUBS" text="Enable Subtitles" show="inactive" />
If the show attribute is not specified, the menu item
will always be shown (provided the action is allowed in the current
context; see the discussion above).
The current attribute
When a menu is opened, normally the first menu item is highlighted.
This can be overridden using current="active". If that
action is active in the current context, that menu item will be
highlighted rather than the first item. For example:
<menu text="Change Aspect Ratio"> <item action="TOGGLEASPECT0" text="Off" current="active" /> <item action="TOGGLEASPECT1" text="4:3" current="active" /> <item action="TOGGLEASPECT3" text="14:9" current="active" /> <item action="TOGGLEASPECT2" text="16:9" current="active" /> <item action="TOGGLEASPECT4" text="2.35:1" current="active" /> </menu>
In this example, when the "Change Aspect Ratio" menu is opened, the current aspect ratio will be highlighted.
Additionally, setting current="y" or
current="t" or current="1" will
unconditionally highlight the menu item.
If multiple items in a menu match the current="..."
test, an arbitrary one is chosen to be highlighted.
There is one exception to this rule. When navigating back from a submenu into its parent menu, that submenu is always highlighted.
The itemlist element
The itemlist element expands into a list (possibly
zero-length) of menu items. In some cases, it is precisely equivalent
to a list of item elements, and is just a convenience.
In other cases, the set of items is dynamically generated as part of
the current context, such as a list of available tracks or DVD titles.
The actiongroup attribute
This is the name of the action group to expand. See below for a comprehensive description of available actiongroups.
The actiongroup attribute is the only required attribute
of the itemlist element.
Note: All action group names are subject to future renaming.
The action group names correspond to prefixes of internal MythTV action names and other internal MythTV logic. Future normalization and cleanup will likely deprecate and change many of the current action group names.
The current attribute
This is equivalent to the current attribute in the
item element, as though the attribute were applied to all
items in the expansion of the action group.
The include element
The include element allows rudimentary modularization by
including the contents of another Themed Menu XML file. It contains a
single required attribute, file. Example:
<menu text="Playback Compact Menu"> <item action="EDIT" /> <item action="DEBUGOSD" /> <include file="menu_playback.xml" /> </menu>
There is a limited recursive include depth, in order to avoid infinite recursion.
Themed Menu file search path
When loading a Themed Menu XML file, the first location searched is $MYTHCONFDIR (or, if MYTHCONFDIR is not defined, ~/.mythtv/). If the file is not found, it then uses the standard MythUI theme search path.
This means that a theme developer can provide an overridden version of a Themed Menu, and ultimately the user can override all of these.
Currently there are four implementations of Themed Menus.
The Playback OSD menu is read from menu_playback.xml, and is displayed during playback via the MENU action (mapped by default to the 'M' key).
| Action Name | Action Group | Action Description | Default text (active) | Default text (inactive) | show="active" condition (default true) |

The Playback OSD compact menu is read from menu_playback_compact.xml, and is displayed during playback via the MENUCOMPACT action (mapped by default to the 'Alt+M' key).
The default OSD compact menu is defined as follows:
<menu text="Playback Compact Menu">
<!-- Insert desired actions here. End by including the main menu
so that all actions are ultimately available. The actions
may need more descriptive text outside the context of the
original menu; if so, it's best to find a string from tv_play.cpp
that is already being translated. -->
<include file="menu_playback.xml" />
</menu>
Note the inclusion of the main Playback OSD menu at the end. This mechanism is especially useful for remote controls with a limited number of buttons. One can map the menu button to the MENUCOMPACT action in the "TV Playback" context, and the original menu can be reached via the compact menu.
The cutlist editor menu is read from menu_cutlist.xml, and is displayed during cutlist editing via the MENU action (mapped by default to the 'M' key).
The cutlist editor actions are not part of any action groups at present.
Note: in the text attribute for the Undo and Redo
actions, the placeholder '%1' will be replaced with a string
representing the action to undo or redo.
| Action Name | Action Description | Default text (active) | Default text (inactive) | show="active" condition (default true) |
Display condition (default true) |
| DIALOG_CUTPOINT_CLEARMAP_0 | Clear cutlist, i.e. remove all cutlist marks | Clear Cuts | |||

| DIALOG_CUTPOINT_MOVEPREV_0 | Move the end of the previous cut, or the start of the next cut, to the current edit point | Move Previous Cut End Here | Move Start of Cut Here | Edit point is within a non-cut region | (if the action is possible in the current context) |
| DIALOG_CUTPOINT_NEWCUT_0 | Add a new cut point or region | Add New Cut | Edit point is within a non-cut region | ||
| DIALOG_CUTPOINT_REDO_0 | Redo a previously undone action | Redo - %1 | The undo stack has at least one action to redo | ||

The cutlist editor compact menu is read from menu_cutlist_compact.xml, and is displayed during cutlist editing via the MENUCOMPACT action (mapped by default to the 'Alt+M' key).
The default cutlist editor compact menu is defined as follows:
<menu text="Edit Cut Points (Compact)">
<!-- Insert desired actions here. End by including the main menu
