Can you confirm that VideoPlayer.StartTime does not return the StartTime of the EPG event? Like it is described in the Wiki?
It worked in Krypton ...
 Yes, not working, it return always the same value.


That was changed by intention. Wiki still needs to be updated. VideoPlayer does not know any longer about epg, that's pvr functionality. Thus VideoPlayer.StartTime now always returns the time the player was started. If you want the start time of the active epg event use pvr.epgeventstarttime now. You guys should follow the skinning engine changes thread in this forum where all these changes should be announced.

Oops, forget what I wrote. There were changes, but there is no pvr.epgeventstarttime. Here are the details: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/13228


RE: Estuary MOD V2 - KODI 18 (UPDATED 23/01/18) - ksooo - 2018-01-27

Just checked the implementation: VideoPlayer.StartTime should still return the start time of the playing epg event, like it did in Krypton. If it does not, this is a regression.

BTW, Vanilla Estuary does not use VideoPlayer.StartTime, as far as I can see.

Sorry guys. I'm a bit confused. When playing any music I no longer get the slideshow showing pictures of the artist. I thought that's what artwork beef did? Isn't that what artist slideshow used to do? Can the two exist together? I'm running the latest Kodi Leia 18.... Cheers

 I'm using a nightly build from the 30th Oct and VideoPlayer.StartTime is not working, but Video.EndTime is working.
Not sure if that was intentional or if the most recent nightly's are the same, but if that turns out to be the case, then this very much a step backwards IMO. I personally like to see both the start and end times on my OSD when channel hopping. I see no value in just being able to display the end time.

I confirm it's not working.

On PVR Guide using $INFO[ListItem.StartTime,, - ]$INFO[ListItem.EndTime], it's OK :

On video player using $INFO[VideoPlayer.StartTime,, - ]$INFO[VideoPlayer.EndTime], start time return actual time clock - 01:00 (GMT-1), end time is OK :

You must download fanarts with Artwork Beef. You can choose and download many fanarts for an artist and this fanarts will be shown on music visualisation.

Yes. I have artwork beef installed. It runs a scan but looking at the Logs it starts no web services I'd can be found. Therefore no fan arts appear when playing music. Any chance of a screen shot to show what the settings should be? Thank you.

I'm currently stepping a little back from Kodi development, but if it is some regression I've introduced I will fix it.

Take your time

FYI:
I created a trac ticket for this, so it doesn't get lost or forgot

Thanks for the reply. I hate to argue but I beg to differ. Same as the last guy said is same for me - default Estuary skin the durations are fine. Only with Estuary Mod v2 does it not work. I think that exactly means it is a skin issue no?

So is Estuary Mod v2 only supported on OSX or LibreELEC? We both confirmed with default skin no problem so how can it not be a skin issue?

No, Estuary MOD V2 support all platforms but Kodi builds can be different from one platform to another and some issue may be only on a particular platform.

If this issue was present on all platforms, we could talk about a skin problem but it's working many platforms except Windows (for some users) and I don't use any addons for duration and end time, juste infolabels from Kodi core.

Original Estuary don't have end time flag icons, so I'm curious how you can try it...

- Install last kodi nightly

 PM received - great, thank you! Just a few clarifications please:

1- For "install my repo and others" - by "others" specifically you mean ONLY Marcelveldt's BETA Repository and Rector Stuff Repository?  So three in total, including yours?
2- For installation of these 3 repos, do this: "Settings / Add-ons / Install from Zip file" and select each of these 3 zips, one at a time, yes?
3- After the above completes,  I should NOT go to "Settings / Add-ons / Install from repository / Guilouz Repository / Look and feel / Skin" and install Estuary MOD V2 which would install your public Estuary. But instead, I should install the private build zip you sent me separately, yes? For this I would install this like a 3rd party skin from a zip, like I did with ScopeNox?  I suppose then that I do not really need to install your repo (step 1) since I'm installing your skin from a local zip?
4- After that completes, go to skin settings / Necessary addons. I'm not familiar with this step. Will it figure out all the necessary add-ons on its own or do I need to figure that out and select these from a big list?
5- Enable Scope Mode setting in Skin settings / Extras I assume.

Thank you again.   
 1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes, if you install zip file I send you it's not necessary but if you want to have future updates it's needed.
4. Just click on list to install them. It's not necessary to install optional addons but if you want all functionality of my skin, it's needed.
5. Yes

NB : I my test zip file I have moved OSD for 2.40:1 format 

Guilouz - Wow, the new feature for OSD for projector Scope Mode works fantastic!! I can confirm that the alignment is good in terms of the OSD positioning.  A few wishlist items if you would kindly consider:

1- On the Pause screen there are two "posters" shown. I can't be sure but I think they are a bit too large in Scope Mode, just because they are zoomed. They do still fit nicely in the video area, but seem to take up too much space in the video area. Maybe they should be scaled back some if fairly easy to do.

2- When Scope Mode is enabled, please consider adding another control icon to the bottom bar that you can click on to toggle between Scope mode on/off. This is because sometimes people move around between 16:9 and scoped movies, so it'll be more convenient to toggle it on/off from there rather than going back to the main menu. Ideally it would not be on off but rather 16:9 (equivilent to off, 2.40, and 1.85 and adjust accordingly).  The 1.85 is fairly common aspect ratio. Its not mandatory to adjust for that because in 2.40 mode it'll still fit in the screen, but it'll be considerably higher up in the video area instead of lined up near the bottom.

3- It would be absolutely fantastic if you could have the Movie wall sections in the UI adjust as well, so that the movie icons stay within the display area (not zoomed off the screen) and ideally you could likely fit another column or two of the icon/posters for the titles size the viewing area is considerably wider.  And ideally if not to involved it would be great if the full UI was adjusted accordingly (menus etc).

4- Please feel welcome to send me more zips via PM with updates - I am very happy to test it. Also can you please move these changes over to your primary distribution so that I can auto update to your released versions over time without losing this functionality? Although maybe for now if you plan to send a few more builds it is better if I don't update to that, so that I can continue to test the private builds. 

Thank you again so much - this is really a terrific new feature!! I am so excited about it. Big Grin

Thumbnail and "Information screen" issue

I have a title that was scanned into the library and had the correct Information screen, Extended Information screen, proper artwork and proper thumbnail in the Movie wall.  Then I added it as a favorite and maybe played around with some of the artwork options - I cannot recall exactly. At some point the thumbnail changed from the movie poster to a random scene from the movie (still frame in the thumbnail).  I do not want this and wanted to get the thumbnail back. And I noticed when I went into the Information screen it said "unavailable" and all the info on that screen was blank. If I went into the Extended Information screen then the artwork and posters and all the info was correct.

The file name (I use the option for file names not folder name) matched identical to TMDB. I choose Manage->Remove From Library and it was gone. To try and fix it I did a Library Clean, and then Scanned the source for content. It picked it up again the same problematic way, with the still frame as the thumbnail and a blank Information screen. I then removed it from the library and cleaned it again. This time I renamed the folder and file name to a random movie that matches TMDB which is not in my library. I scanned it again and it STILL picked it up as the real movie and had the same still frame as the thumbnail.  It's as if the data is cached somewhere. But I don't understand where, and can't understand how it say it as the real movie even though I renamed the file and folder!

I'm at a total loss on how to fix this and was thinking of completely removing Kodi and starting over, but I figure I better learn what is going on and fix it the right way, because if this was to happen again I cannot keep starting over from scratch. Smile

Can someone please let me know what is going on and how I can correct it? And if I still can't figure it out based on your instructions, what is the best way to clear out the library and make sure I am starting from scratch with a rescan and nothing cached etc, because that may be better than uninstalling and completely reconfiguring my skins and add-ons etc. It is so confusing because at first it had everything correct, then someone I must have changed something and from that point no matter what I tried I could not get the Information screen and thumbnail back.

Thank you.
