Hi. I have a question about viewing timers from inside Kodi (v16 right now). Through Kodi, I have a bunch of full series set to record (repeating, from Guide). When I go to the timers page, I get the list of the "series recording" timers. I was wondering if there was a way to configure it to give me a list of the specific episodes that are scheduled to record from the available guide data, sorted by date. Right now, the only way I know to get the information is to start NextPVR, go to Recordings --> Pending Recordings --> (Sort by Date).
I've noticed that the timers widget does the same thing, so I'm hoping that this is a super-simple Kodi XML configuration thing.

With Kodi 16, no. Kodi 17 separates the series recording timers and the episodes timers into two different screens. That has helped a lot. The only thing I don't like is that Kodi only shows the most immediate next recording for a series. So even if you have 2 weeks of data, the episode recording list will only show the recording for this week. It won't show the one for next week until this week's recording is done.
For a more comprehensive list of upcoming episodes, you need to use the X-NEWA program addon.

Thanks pkscout - great add-on. Do you know why this little gem is not in the download section?

I misspoke, I meant to say Add-on section not the Kodi repository. Seems there are a good number of add-ons that a user only learns about basically by accident. Seems to me the Kodi team would want legal and legit add-ons to be widely publicized not hidden in github forum downloads. Soap-box mode over.
