Hi, I'm writting PVR addon for IPTV service in Czech Republic (sledovanitv.cz). I've two questions for development,
1) I need to show dialog from this addon which require entering two string values (gui 'edit' control), but I haven't found how to get user entered value (no functions in library.xbmc.gui), so is it possible?
2) I need get some infolabels in this addon, but again I haven't found any function for getting its value (library.xbmc.addon ?)
Thank you for suggestions

1) there are two options:
- http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs...l#Keyboard
- http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs...alog-input

2) http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs...tInfoLabel

Ok, I know python functions, but the addon is written in c++ like the other PVR addons, so is it equivalents for this available?

aw, sorry... i have no idea about c++

* ronie makes a note to pay more attention next time

Take a look at the VNSI or MythTV addons

Thank you, I've looked to other PVR plugins but I haven't found "support" for 'edit' control, does it mean that I've to implement it? - nothing problem, but I would like to eliminate to reinvent wheel :-) Same case apply to info label, pvr addons needs to register with service provider, for this I need computer MAC address and some kind of computer name (System.FriendlyName will be great), but again I don't know/find how to get these from functions available for binary PVR addon. I'm writting question here beacuse I would like to public this addon and make it work against official Kodi release.
