Users have reported reFocus not to show a plot summary in the OSD for recorded programmes. Assuming this was because of a bug in my variables, I checked. But this is all I have regarding this:

PHP Code:

<variable name="player:Description">
    <value condition="Player.HasAudio + !IsEmpty(MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Description))">$INFO[MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Description)]</value>
    <value condition="Player.HasAudio + !IsEmpty(MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Description))">$INFO[MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Description)]</value>
    <value condition="Player.HasVideo + !IsEmpty(VideoPlayer.Plotoutline)">$INFO[VideoPlayer.Plotoutline]</value>
    <value condition="Player.HasVideo">$INFO[VideoPlayer.Plot]</value>
    <value>$LOCALIZE[3152]</value>
</variable> 


Which leads me to think the plot is not available in the OSD for programmes? Can anyone confirm?

I would expect this to be available, along with the channel name and start / end / date ?

I don't have a PVR setup so I can't check this myself.

From memory its not available for recorded programs, but it could be backend specific. I know some backends supply thumbs for recorded content, where as others don't (for instance, the backend I use, tvheadend, doesn't supply thumbs afaik).

Damn, that's a bummer. Cheers for the reply

I've tried to fix this and created a pull request for it, also allows the recorded date to be shown as videoplayer.recordeddate. I've never coded C++ before so not sure if it will get it.
