Yes, and updated through ntp.

Not really sure about that one. I use a python function to determine the time that shows up in the EPG. Anyone else seeing this issue?

My only guess would be that it was using the universal time instead of local time.

If that's true are the times you are seeing corresponding to the UTC time? Meaning, if you converted your local time to UTC are you getting the correct time in the EPG?

That appears to work on the first visit after forcing the channels to reset. Specifically, the programming playing when I enter it is shown in the EPG some 5 hours later.

Is it always 5? If not you may have shuffle playlists on. I had that problem too.

Yep, shuffle playlists was on. But at least now the duration on everything is correct. Thanks for the help on that one.

So are things working for you? Or is the EPG still 5 hours off?


- Jason102 - 2011-02-24

Can someone please give instructions on how to check this and disable it? I will put this check into the code to disable it, but it may help in the mean-time.

It is all corrected now. It was shuffle under the guisettings.xml. Now I am in the process of adding conditions to spruce up the channels. In case anyone else is interested, I am adding the following general rules:
  • Only add unwatched movies (playcount > 0) to most channels - I want to watch movies for the first time "on purpose"
  • Ignore specials on most TV channels - I have lots of specials for things like Looney Tunes where the specials are a different category than the main content. Because I use very strict naming conventions all of these will have s00 in the filename.

Nice! Turning shuffle off in guisettings.xml fixed my problem where the EPG was displaying the wrong info. The odd thing is that it was the shuffle setting in the mymusic section that did the trick. The shuffle setting in the video section was already false. When adding this check to the code, consider looking at all of the shuffle settings, not just the video.

I made a skin for Aeon MQ2. I spent a lot more time on it and testing than previously, so it should all work and look fine.

Download.

*Note: It only works with Aeon MQ2, not Nox, etc

In ubuntu 10 where would I place these XML files?

Maybe you guys could share some of your working files with us noobs perhaps!

Loving the script, really great idea.

I had channel overlays working (by downloading the channel bug test zip and then updating the overlay xml) but now upgrading to the latest stable pre and the option has gone. Any plans to put it back ? I liked having it there for that on live TV experience.

Download from here.

Edit: Updated the timebar. Still not entirely happy with it but it fits better.

Love the skin but is there anyway to add a vertical timebar on this one ?
