Hi all,

I can't find the option to set the default EPG window in Helix beta 4. Now when I go to the guide from the home menu, it opens the channel list with current programs. Instead I want it to open in timeline View as default. With Gotham this was a simple setting but with helix I can't find it.

See this screenshot, top option: http://kodi.wiki/view/File:Settings.PVR.EPG.png

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Are you using a mce remote? If so http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/15374

No I'm using the cec adapter by pulse-eight.

This was bothering me as well - I was sure this once existed as an option. I agree that it's missing, no idea if it's intended or not

Open sideblade and change view to timeline Epg , i think last view is saved

Yes I know it can be changed once you've opened the EPG, but for me it doesn't save the last view. Maybe it's a problem with my shortcut?

As we rewritten the whole PVR window / view state implementation this option is gone in favor of using the default behavior (view state) as pointed out by Jönke. Please let us know which shortcut you use to open the guide view. It should be something like

Code:

ActivateWindow(TVGuide)

Same problem here. Last view state is not saved. Very annoying.

Edit: I was able to solve it by changing a line in the guisettings.xml file. I don't know whether this file exists natively, or if it's created by the Aeon skin, but this is what I did:

I changed the following line in the file "C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\guisettings.xml":

from: <setting type="string" name="skin.aeonmq5.menu5.action">ActivateWindow(PVR)</setting>

to: <setting type="string" name="skin.aeonmq5.menu5.action">ActivateWindow(TVGuide)</setting>

This is definitely a skin issue.

Yep, it was an issue with the skin shortcuts! Thanks
