I am sorry if this question has already been posted. I did look for a couple of hours but I think the short EPG search term made it tough to find the answer.
I noticed that in the standard WMC Guide the aired dates of Movies and Shows are listed below the name in the description. Is there anyway I can turn this date on in Kodi EPG? Right now I am using the Confluence Skin.
Thank you for the excellent plug-in!!

Thanks. The display of air dates in the guide is a skin dependent thing, we can't control that in the addon. All I can tell you is that we pass these times onto kodi for each show/movie, hopefully there is a skin out there that will give you what you want.

Thank you for the reply!! I am glad to hear the data is passed on to Kodi...I will now go through the skins and see if there is an option.
Thanks again for the super plug-in!!

I haven't seen this option in the plug-in and this is something I would also love to see as well. I'm also using Confluence. Any idea on the best way to try to get something like this added?

I agree that this should be there, either as an option, or maybe by default. I plan to put this into the next release either way.

Thanks Krusty. Are you planning to put this into the next addon release or Confluence skin release?

Sorry I made a mistake. I thought this was the thread about searching by genre. That's what I get for trying to answer too many threads to quickly. I'm afraid I am back to what I originally said: this needs to be supported in the skin and we don't so skins. Sorry again for the confusion.

OK, that's what I thought, thanks. I'm gonna head over to the skins section and see what transpires. I'm a daily server.wmc user and am very happy with it. Thanks for your hard work.

I believe the Epg Air Date is stored FirstAired in kodi but i have never been able to get it to display. I can see the iFirstAired is populated in the database but it just does not work.

I didn't realize he was talking about what wmc calls the 'original air date'. So I had to check to refresh my memory, and found that we do send this back to kodi - so data should be there.

Yeah, is definitely transferred as i can see it in the Epg DB but i just can't get it to display. Seems like its a problem with kodi not serverwmc.

It may be similar to the EPG images where although there was a field that addons populated, it wasnt stored in the database OR transferred when copying EPG_INFO tags in the Kodi code. I fixed those on the Kodi side for I**** (post helix version). So even if this FirstAired is in the database it may not be being transferred when copying EPG_INFO tags in the code, meaning it ends up blank and a skin can't display it. I'll have a look when I get time

That field is available in my downloaded data at least. Thanks scarecrow.
