@primaeval, Happy New Year.


I have had a test on both my android box and win 10. same problem after the 0.0.276 update. it just scroll to the channel but not autoplay anymore if no channel is live. it only auto play if you are already watching a channel where as it autoplay for me weather watching a channel or not before the update.

Also if you are watching a channel let say from category A you cant input a channel number which falls to category B it wont play. I dont know if any thing could be done to always search channel number from all cannels categories.

Thanks and have a Blessed 2017

These are my code changes. The intention was to try and bring it in line with most modern live TV boxes. The assumption is if you are in a fullscreen video and input another channel number, you 100% definitely want to switch. However if you're in the guidend, the assumption is you're browsing the EPG and a switch isn't necessary, allowing the user to either select themselves or to continue browsing without waitingetting for a channel to load first.

I tried to get around the category limitations for when in fullscreen video but I couldn't get it to work. I'm hoping to take to @primaeval at some point to see if there is a way to ignore the current selected category, or to get more time myself to look at it.

@RayW1986, Happy new year bro, your explanation makes sense. it will be great plus if you can get around the category limitations when in fullscreen. so that we can switch to another channel be it category A B or C.

RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - TaffP - 2017-01-01

Hi there,

New to this site and forum so please excuse me if this is posted in the wrong place. I have recently moved to Krypton Beta 7 from Jarvis 16.1. I am using my own custom build which is fairly light to suit me and my family on an Amazon FireTV (not stick). Since moving to Krypton my FTV Guide has been terrible, it loads fine but all the program listings are incorrect! I'm using UK Freeview view with load every start and still no joy.

I would like to change to the TV Guide Fullscreen but cannot seem to install it properly. I've tried using the links in post 1 but the repo either comes up blank or cannot connect through KODI/File Manager/Add Source...

Would someone be kind enough to post a full installation guide for this TV Guide via FireTV?

Many thanks in advance...

Download the repo zip, then install the repo zip via addon install from zip option, then once the repo is installed you should be able to select the tvguide fullscreen for installation via the installed repo

When I try and install from the zip file my Kodi says "Failed to install Add-On from zip file", I've also tried going to Primaeval's Github site and downloading the zip file but ES File Explorer also fails to download the zip file.

I can download it to my laptop but cannot work out how to get that on to my FireTV with ADB Link.

Any suggestions appreciated...

Got the Zip File on there! Will try and install now.

Thanks MikeKL

OK, so any pointers on where I get an xmltv file for uk tv?

Or do I have to do something with Webgrab+?

Thanks

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I assume I just enter it in the XML URL field in the TV Guide Settings?


RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - gillmacca - 2017-01-01

When scrolling the guide, would it be possible for it to select the current programme on?
Example: time on EPG is 17:00 - 18:30.
Scrolling, I have a programme that started at 17:30, but the guide still selects the 17:00 programme

Happy New Year everyone. Smile

INFO:

* I missed a zip in a repo commit which would have messed up the repo for @TaffP. It should be ok now.

* As @RayW1986 said the new Channel Shortcut play behaviour is what you asked for (some people anyway Wink ).
I'll see if I can add some more options later to play in the epg too. Thanks to RayW1986 for the code.

* Different Index numbers in the Categories is not a bug. The Index is into the list of currently visible channels in whatever Category you have selected.

* If you want fixed ids the only way to do it at the moment is to setup numeric xmltv_ids in your xmltv file.
I'll have a think and talk with RayW1986 for a more generic way to do it if you don't have control over your xmltv file.
Maybe some id to channel number mapping file. There are a lot of issues to deal with.

* The 2 methods to update the addons.ini are:
manually:
Settings \ Optional \ Refresh Addon Folders
and automatically:
Settings \ Startup \ Background Update Service \ Update Addon Folders Too

* Thanks for the epg link. I couldn't get it to load but there seem to always be some strange problems with Jarvis and https.
There is a redirect link there to get to the github raw content if you missed it.
* For a quick test you could try the tvguide.co.uk and yo.tv sources in Settings \ Lab2. There is a problem around midnight with yo.tv but they work well enough for me most of the time.

* As @RayW1986 and @myname said this addon has diverged so much from the original that it is safer to start a new skin by copying the Default one into your addon_data directory and modifying that.
Follow this post:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=282157&pid=2448861#pid2448861

* Maybe if you are nice to them they might share their skins with you. Wink

TODO:

* Find out what happened to the right click menu. It still works with the Context Menu Key on a Windows Keyboard.
