RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - myname - 2017-01-08
Thanks for the mouse controls, they work great. Except for quick epg i think i've completely eliminated the keyboard. Adding buttons like in the osd would help (on the timebar ?), but the main problem is with the mouse scroll. If you scroll in quick epg it returns you to the main screen and the focus is to the main listings, but the quick epg remains open.
- in your skin (at least in kodi 17) the current time overlaps the "right" osd button. Also, i had a description for the osd last channel as "ok". You should maybe relabel that description as people are modding it and using it as a reference.
- a dumb suggestion, but flip the osd and back invisible fullscreen playback buttons? I find most people have it burnt into their brain that the bottom right is back.
Theres 2 more buttons you could add to the osd buttons, i had them in a weird place in case you missed them. I also like up\down\left\right buttons in the skin above, they are less intrusive.

You could add an android only tab in the menu if you want. I don't use android, i just found something that was possible lol.

Also, you have some great addons in your repo that coincide with features in the guide. You could throw shortcuts in the menu to things like sports fixtures or the ini tool addons. You can either hide them visibility wise where the button is hidden if not installed, or have it allways visible and prompt to install it if not installed and your repo is installed.

I think this should cover most of those problems. Thanks for the feedback.
The QuickEPG was calling the main epg functions for the mouse wheel.
I've added a big invisible button for Last Channel too now to make it play.
I agree about muscle memory but it makes more sense to click where the osd will pop up and press back where the X is on normal Windows windows. Unless you are an Ubuntu or Jobs fanboy.
I dread to see what Apple will do when they make cars. Switch the accelerator and brake pedals, just to be different?

Tried to set a channel to playon. Wouldn't play. from the guide.
I noticed in files tab for the stream setter that UPNP directory isn't included. since playin would need to access the upnp directory for the stream pehrhaps it could be enabled.
the navigation on the tabs id kind of shaky.. for instance it was difficult to add folder and save once a selected a stream.
so I can access live tv streams in the Add on directories. I can set the channel to launch an android app. Playon doesn't load into the preview and the navigationcan be difficult to save channel settings for later use.
personally I would suggest long hold enter for menu and short enter for default play, perhaps it is my configuration
right now I am can see using this over Psuedo TV on the basis of being to use Yo.TV epg. . I can also use this with Live tv disabled and no PVR set. using appTV skinn
It would be nice if there wasa Playon PVR back end but that's nothing to do with your add on.

PseudoTV uses media on your network to make a pretend TV channel. This addon is strictly Live streams only. They are not the same.
I have no idea what Playon is so I can't comment on that.
The Browse Tab in Stream Setup effectively runs the addons in the background by RPC. Some of them mess up the window layout and push you into another Tab. There is nothing that I can do about that. It is the way Kodi works.
I doubt if you will get a preview window of an Android app in Kodi. It will have to launch it as a separate program from Kodi.
If you add your upnp folder in Kodi's Folder Manager you might have access to it. This addon only looks for addon, pvr, playlists and favourites sources for channel playback.
You can set almost any button or command to control this addon with a combination of Kodi's Keymap Editor addon and Settings \ Lab1 \ Action Editor.

The Upnp file directory is in the Kodi File manager.
The EPG launches android channels just fine.
The controller is properly keymapped. The Navigation screen in the stream selector. is very sensitive and moves from the browser tab to the the strm tab after the addon link is inserted. It wasn't a problem until the mouse wheel was updated.. can it be disabled in the settings? I don't have this issue in any other addon or settings page within kodi oor the kodi fork
Playon streams can be played from the UPNP directory and within the app both just map it to the same location. the only way to add it within the upg is the add on selector. The preview function and play did work on the Fox sports go Addon. It works like mediaportal only there is no PVR Client for it.
The difference between the two is one plays the stream from the network server the other plays the stream within the box. so it isn't reallt the addon but the source. Ill try adding it to favourites.
Great Program.

What is this?

It used to be called Meta. Now you can choose the addon in Settings \ Playback \ Catchup addon.
Meta is here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=263065
For the other one you'll have to ask Google.
They need to be set up with players that search through your addons that can provide catchup content for the program you have selected.
For example you could set up the iplayerwww addon for BBC iPlayer shows and if you're lucky it will find the show in the iplayer addon and play it for you.
Obviously not for programs that haven't been shown on TV yet but most are repeats.
Be careful what you post here though as it can search through official Kodi addons and not so official ones.

Try 0.0.291.
I'm sure it worked when I wrote it. Maybe the kids were screaming in my ear at the time.

Hello I'm getting a oops sorry about that it was not possible to load program data. Check settings or try again later... on fresh install first run is there something I need to change in the settings or just keep checking back? thanks
RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - samueljones - 2017-01-10
@primaeval, can you please consider adding the channel number in the OSD if possible.
Thank You.

You need to set an xmltv data source in Settings \ Source.
You can an also experiment with the alternative sources in Settings \ Lab2.
RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - GriffeyJuni0r - 2017-01-10
Couple more requests, I'm using this more and more
- Is it possible to have a 'File Download Interval' option to only update if the XML has changed (maybe just check the date modified)? Even the 48 hours option is too short for me, I grab about 2 weeks worth at a time.
- Would love to see a 'Delete Category' option in the Context Menu of the Categories
- For the Program Category Search function, is there a reason the results start 6 hours before the current time? Ideally this would be used to find programs that are on currently and upcoming - You have that timebar icon if it's currently playing, is there a way to only grab programs in the past if it has that icon?
- Do people want to keep the Channel Title in this view too, or is there a way to hide it? I think the Channel Icons speak for themselves for the most part..
That's it - Thanks!!
