Access EPG:Timeline from JSON? - TechLife - 2013-09-27
Is there any command that I can issue (preferably JSON but anything will work) to open the EPG:Timeline while watching TV like you can on a STB? I'm trying to fully switch over to the HDHomerun Prime I just bought but this could be a real deal breaker with the wife if there is no easy way to access an intuitive program guide like what she's used to...

I know you can via remote mappings:
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
<mymusic>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Home)</mymusic>
<record>XBMC.PlayerControl(Record)</record>
<red>VolumeUp</red>
<green>XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 31,0, 10,0)</green>
<yellow>XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 34,0, 13,0)</yellow>
<blue>RunScript(script.audio.party.mode.start)</blue>
<star>XBMC.updatelibrary(Video)</star>
<hash>XBMC.updatelibrary(Music)</hash>
</remote>
.......green is for timeline epg and yellow is recordings. Might be able to apply that to a json command.

Have you tried the keyboard command "e"? Pretty sure this is what I have my remote's "guide" button mapped to, and it brings me to the EPG Timeline view from wherever I am in XBMC (including LiveTV).
Edit: Taking a closer look, I think it's CTRL-g (not just g). This is the entry in keyboard.xml: <g mod="ctrl">ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 31,0, 10,0)</g>, which is exactly what teeedub has above.

Cool. I'll give it a try later. It would be ideal for me to get that translated to JSON but this is a good start. Thanks guys!
