How to not "jump to now" in guide on each open - zbynek.winkler - 2021-03-25

According to https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/pvr/windows/GUIWindowPVRGuide.cpp#L79 the guide will "jump to now" every time it is opened. Is that a correct observation? It corresponds with what I am seeing. Is there a way to not "jump to now" every time but instead jump to what is currently playing? I am using a backend that allows me to play shows from the past and when I watch such a show and open the guide, I'd like to see the guide at the time of the said show (like to watch the next episode). Instead I am thrown to "now" and need to scroll several days back to get where I want to be.
Thanks for any suggestions.

No, that's currently not possible.

Is it ok for me to file a feature request on the github repo? I am not sure what the conventions are.

It's not a solution, but there is in Matrix a new EPG control window that has buttons to jump ahead or back 12 hours, so that might be an easier way than scrolling.

GitHub is for issues only. We discuss feature requests here.

On second thought I consider this a bug rather than a feature request.

Should be fixed with https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/19484 for Kodi v20 and I'm also planning to backport the fix to v19.
