Currently only System.Time and System.Date can be displayed in any format the skinner wishes.

System.Time(format)
Shows hours (hh), minutes (mm) or seconds (ss). When 12 hour clock is used (xx) will return AM/PM. Also supported: (hh:mm), (mm:ss), (hh:mm:ss), (hh:mm:ss).

System.Date(format)
Show current date using format, available markings: d (day of month 1-31), dd (day of month 01-31), ddd (short day of the week Mon-Sun), DDD (long day of the week Monday-Sunday), m (month 1-12), mm (month 01-12), mmm (short month name Jan-Dec), MMM (long month name January-December), yy (2-digit year), yyyy (4-digit year).

It would be great if other labels could be displayed in the same way so skins don't have to resort to using hundreds of variables.

ie

Code:

<label>$INFO[ListItem.Premiered(d MMM yyyy)]</label>

22 November 2014


Also time played and remaining for list items would also be good to have as well as the ability to format them.

ie

Code:

<label>$INFO[ListItem.TimePlayed(h)] hour $INFO[ListItem.TimePlayed(m)] minutes</label>

1 hour 42 minutes

Sounds good. From a brief look at the code the player times (duration,starttime,endtime,finishtime,..) should support time formatting as well. Does this actually work?

[Hitcher]

Not tried but I'll have a look later.

Thanks.

EDIT: Yes they do, I've updated the wiki to reflect this.

Just a FYI. It's on my TODO list. After you posted the crazy amount of vars used in fTV it became more prominent

[Hitcher]

Thanks, I'm glad they were useful in more ways than one.

Did this ever come to fruition? I just tried it with with $INFO[ListItem.LastPlayed(d m yy)] but the date still returned 06/06/2015. If it hasn't yet been instituted, then I'd like to second the suggestion.

I'd suggest the same for "ListItem.StartDate" etc. for PVR-labels

Have to dig this post up. Did this ever get implemented?
