Full Version: Just set up SERVERWMC & PVR.WMC Questions about EPG

Just today I finished setting up my SERVERWMC setup with a hdhomerun Prime. Right now I've got the prime giving digital cable as I do not yet have my cable card.

Anyway. On my XBMC client I have two questions about the EPG.

1. Is there a way to get rid of the vertical bar that shows where you are in the guide. It's a little annoying. I've seen pictures of the guide where that bar is not there.

2. My channel line-up just shows the digital channel number and the network. How do I get it to display the graphic/logo?

Otherwise it all seems to be working. Will have more time to play with it tonight.

Thanks,

Roveer

SCRATCH #2 off the list. I just figured out how to get the channel logos. Here's a link to a great article about setting up live tv:

1) For channel logos, you need to get them working in wmc first, then serverwmc will import them to kodi. I use mychannellogos to get the wmc logos.

2) I like the vertical 'now' line in the epg view. I don't know if there is an option to turn it off (it might also depend on the skin). But this isn't something particular to the wmc plugin, it is a kodi thing. You aren't seeing it in some images its because it wasn't in older version of xbmc.
I think the vertical line can be done away with by setting an advancedsettings.xml option in XBMC/Kodi called "LingerTime" to 0 (effectively saying you dont want any past EPG data)

I think the guide in the android/ARM versions is the older one. I do not see the line in that version. I saw it on the windows version that I had running today.

Thanks for the tip on advancedsettings.xml.
