Ticket #11091: Frontend Service API "Live TV In Guide" does not expose currentlocation
#11091: Frontend Service API "Live TV In Guide" does not expose currentlocation
----------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: SchraderMJ11@… | Type: Bug Report - General
Status: new | Priority: minor
Milestone: unknown | Component: MythTV - General
Version: 0.25.2 | Severity: low
Keywords: frontend service api | Ticket locked: 0
----------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
1) Send action to open live tv in guide
http://<host>:6547/Frontend/SendAction?Action=Live%20TV%20In%20Guide

2) Get status
http://<host>:6547/Frontend/GetStatus

Notice there is no currentlocation tag like there is for other statuses.

I am expecting to have some unique currentlocation available on this
screen so consumers are aware that not only is live tv showing, but also
the guide is showing.

The expected behavior is available if you just view the Program Guide.
The current location for the following request is guidegrid.

Comment:

This Action no longer exists.

Changeset de14c21fe0bf0372009687f2127bf0f457c5a242 in mythtv:
Remove the option to start Live TV in the Program Guide.

However, currentlocation isn't populated when watching LiveTV
or playing back a recording. currentlocation =
GetMythUI()->!GetCurrentLocation())

Suggest looking at "state" which will be "WatchingLiveTV" and
"!WatchingRecording"
above, respectively. The "State"["state"] will be "idle" when in a GUI.
