RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - melons2 - 2019-05-22

I have searched the thread and I have tried for days to get this to work....but can't figure it out.

I have an IPTV account.
I have an M3U URL and EPG URL.
I have an IPTV Addon.

There doesn't appear to be an .ini file to use?

Would some give me short directions to take what I have and get it into the right places in settings so this will work?

Thank you

I keep getting "oops, sorry about that". It was not possible to load program data, because the settings are invalid.
I used zip repository.primaeval-0.0.2
I load version 0.17.445

I don't know what i need to put on the settings considering there is no provision for username or password.
This is on Kodi 17.6 both on Windows and Android.
I sometimes get this error if I have a channel selected with foreign characters in its epg.  See my post above.  If you are able to remove that channel from your xmltv file then it may solve this problem.

The first thing needed to get TVGF working is to set a URL or local path to your XMLTV EPG file:
Code:
Settings > Source > XMLTV Source
If you have an m3u file with your channel mappings, you can set a URL or local path to it:
Code:
Settings > Optional > Import m3u
Settings > Optional > m3u source
That ought to get you folks started.

Hello everyone.

Issue: when I am trying to add folders in stream setup. I see the following folders when browsing for the "channel" folder - however when I select the directory shown with the [/B] is does not "go into" or list the contents of the folder. When I attempt to add the channels TVGF does not recognize the channel listing in the add-on I select:

Hi, I'm not using FTVG but it should look the same as in my addon so EPG is in id 5001 in file script-tvguide-main.xml.


Ex. you have to edit <control type="button" id="5001"> (posy, posx, width, height)

xml:
<control type="group">
            <description>TV Guide group</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>1920</width>
            <height>1080</height>
            <visible>!Control.IsVisible(5000)</visible>
            
        <control type="button" id="5001">
            <description>marker for EPG data view - should be Hidden!</description>
            <top>239</top>
            <left>350</left>
            <width>1560</width>
            <height>562</height>
            <visible>hidden</visible>
        </control>



RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - M89SE - 2019-06-09

I'm a bit stuck and I thought maybe you guys can help me out, I'm trying to force colorDiffuse to read a variable $VAR[] instead of a hex code is this possible? I also tryied using xbmc.getInfoLabel('$VAR[SkinColorVar]') but that only gave me "button_focus" not the hex color maybe there is a way to get it?.

My solution below won't work.

python:
#Redraw timebar
tmp_control = self.getControl(self.C_MAIN_TIMEBAR)
if self.timebar:
self.removeControl(self.timebar)
self.timebar = xbmcgui.ControlImage(tmp_control.getX(), tmp_control.getY(), tmp_control.getWidth(), tmp_control.getHeight(), os.path.join(Skin.getSkinPath(), 'media', 'tvguide-timebar.png'), colorDiffuse="$VAR[SkinColorVar]")
self.addControl(self.timebar)
self.updateTimebar()

Problem solved. Had to extract the colors from "special/skins/colors/" files.

hello,

I am getting this error when loading/downloading my EPG data. this EPG works usually. Maybe the data on the new download is somehow corrupted? I have reset all DB data. restarted Kodi.

This one is quite tricky! I created this function in my own TV Guide a while ago. Smile

You will need to create a function in Python first and then import the setting to skin. Listitem.Duration won't work. Do you know how to programme Python or do you need some help?.

Result bottom right:
