first thanks a lot for your effort in supporting us and keeping this addon what it is: awesome!
I'm reading a long time here, but now it's time to write my first post.

I found a little bug on the Live-TV Guide:
in the "MyPVRGuide.xml" on Line 334 Column 131 is a tabulator instead of a blank space which causes to a ▯ (rectangle character symbol) inbetween the title and the pipe sign before the genre-tag. Maybe you can update this with the next release.

Another thing I found without finding a solution yet:
on the Guide Timeline in the lower left field the station logo is shown. If the epg information includes a picture this will be shown in front of this logo moved a little up and right.
If no picture is given by the epg information there is the station logo diplayed again instead... so twice a time.

Here two pictures:

Without picture given by epg


With a picture given by epg


Maybe you can help us out here?

Best regards,
DNC

Some other problems

Encryption symbols doesn't work on infobar
Tuners should be 0-3 and not 1-4 so when Tuner 0 is used it doesn't show anything.
Only 1 view in channellists so no Big List or Wall.

it's good to see you have not lost any of that modesty we admire so much.

i realize my vastly unworthy status before you, however may i humbly ask a question?

which version on git to choose to test the widgets?
mr.v_widgets?
mrv_widgets?

i am bowing and backing away slowly now. thank you, thank you, thank you.

sorry to say i could not come up with a funny captain america reference.

now i am getting angry, you won't like me when i'm angry.

The ratings for movies are vastly different to the IMDB ratings. Most of my movies only have about 3 votes and a strangely low rating. Is there any way I can match them up with IMDB official ones?

Thanks.

Yes, all of that is handled by your scraper settings. If you have TheMovieDb as your scraper that is where the votes come from and changing it to universal scraper with the proper options selected in the settings will achieve your results, If you want to update your current library I recommend using Rating Update to accomplish this.

The problem is that it does nothing when i press the button. There is a message in the log who prove that i have correctly configured my keymap but nothing else.

I have spent a considerable amount of time reading through 150 pages of posts, and doing searches using all sorts of word combinations, however I still fail to find the answer to my question.
I have used many other skins, and I must say, yours is at the top of my list. In using those other skins, it was usually possible to control and customize what shows on the screen when pausing a video file. Try as I may, I cannot find any settings in the GUI relating to customizing what shows on pause. What I'd like to be able to do is to disable any information at all showing on the screen during pause. The reason is that I like to take really clear screenshots of what I'm watching when I find just the right scene and pause the video, then use my choice of screenshots as fanart for the TV series I'm watching. With the pause icon showing, and the timeline showing, it just does not make for good fanart, ya know?

Is there a way I can modify a .xml file so that nothing shows when a video is paused? If you can find time to answer, I would very much appreciate it!!

First of all, pausing a video for a while, going off and doing something for a few minutes, and then coming back to it to see a paused screen with no elements at all would just look....weird and creepy To me, anyway.

My second objection is less based in silliness...from a UI perspective, I don't think it's a good idea, because it would be impossible to tell whether the screen is paused, or whether the device is frozen and needs to be rebooted. Yes, of course, there's the "can't you remember that you paused it??" argument; but sometimes, believe it or not, people can go off for a while (minutes, hours, days) and not remember where they left things on their TV.

That being said, I would be in favour of some kind of programmatic solution. Give us the option, Mike! (sure, easy for ME to say....lol)

(2015-07-30, 03:38)canadave Wrote: Silly followup questions on my part, for Mort:

Is it not possible to do a fairly serviceable screenshot while the video is playing? I realize you would not be able to necessarily pinpoint a precise frame that way, but surely that kind of precision is unnecessary, and you should be able to get close enough for your purposes?

Quote:Alternatively, could you not simply play your desired video on a computer, pause the video at the desired point, and get a screenshot more easily that way? I think there are plenty of video players that would not have any pause overlay elements to get in the way.
