If I am watching a show that I have recorded and I press info, and then press up to see the plot or whatever you want to call it, the screen is blank. Now if I go through all of my recordings in the recorded tv section it does show the plot for whatever recorded show I currently have selected. This may be a limitation on PVR support as I know it is still in its infancy.

The library is made up of links from 1Channel and i checked the path the meta data...they are all there. I moved the storage from the sd to usb stick so it should be ok.

/storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.module.metahandler/meta_cache/movie/covers


Anybody got any ideas on this, it doesn't happen on Confluence...only Arctic. I uninstalled and reinstall the skin, incase it was something like that, im new to xbmc so not sure if there is some way I can check whats going on.

I have one request in the PVR area - the timeline view feels a little cramped, quite a bit of the program name usually gets cut off in the timeline 'blocks' since they aren't very wide (for a 30 minute program).
It would be great if there was an option to change the time range from 3 hrs to maybe 2hrs so the blocks are wider..

Would be great to fit a few more channels in the view by slightly reducing font size / spacing too - when you have several hundred channels it takes a long time to scroll at 6 at a time

Can't wait to see this skin progress!

I'm planning to add some logo of italian Studio (cattley, 01 distribution, filmauro, medusa ecc...) can you tell me the size of the png? is an easier way to create it.
Are you maybe planning to ad the extra menù as I wrote on my last post?

Unfortunately i can't figure out which function it is (didn't find a key in the keyboards control either). Maybe you know that? Right now i am using button "H", but i like the other view much more. Would be awesome to have a hotkey for that.

I can understand. Maybe that is the nice thing about this skin. It all looks so clear and simple, with just the right amount of eyecandy ...
I do seem to miss certain movie info, like aspect ratio ... or am I wrong?

I can agree with the idea of widening the program guide time slots.

They are generally 161x109 pixels, but they get scaled down for the infotags. Just make sure they are all white with a transparent background. You can add them to the skin.arctic/extras/studioflags/

Yeah I should be able to add the dvd extras option. Just figuring out where I can fit it in for movies -- I'm thinking perhaps being able to press down when "trailer" is highlighted in the same way that pressing down on play toggles between cinema experience. I have no dvd extras on my hdd, so when I add it I'll let you know because I'll need you to test if it works properly or not.

Use this command in your keymap:

Code:

XBMC.ActivateWindow(pvrosdchannels)

Yeah I just haven't got around to it yet, so I just rerouted it to the album info for the time being. I've also got to add the ability to change the rating to the music osd. Will definitely be happening in the near future.

Yeah no extrathumbs on the main info screen. However, PatOso had a good suggestion which I will probably add about having them as a slideshow in the fanart section (if you keep pressing left on the movie info screen the fanart slides out).

Both aspectratio and audio channels are missing from video info currently as I'm not 100% sure where to put them without adding clutter, but they are something I want to add once I think of a way to do it.

It should show the timer icon when there is a recording scheduled and a record button (circle with red dot) when something is currently recording. I might add something in the top left of the simple homescreen when livetv is highlighted - however, I'm not 100% happy with the way the now playing info is shown in the top right so I want to get that sorted out first before I start adding other things up there.

(2013-09-14, 02:57)hoopsdavis Wrote: Jurial, here's an idea. How about just displaying the upcoming recordings when "LiveTV is highlighted? (maybe the now playing could be replaced with upcoming recordings when we scroll over to LiveTV) Would that be too much additional programming?

Sorry that's what I meant. I don't know why I said top left the first time -- I meant top right. It shouldn't be too hard at all to add - I'm just not totally happy with how that section looks currently, thats all.
