RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - b_x20852 - 2016-05-16

@sualfred, thanks a lot for the skin mod, it is just wonderful! I have one question though: is it possible to zoom in the TV Guide, or at least increase the font size for it? It is pretty difficult to read the channel names and the text in the grid from some distance...


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - sstockman - 2016-05-17

hey, is this just for Jarvis or can i use it on Kodi 15.2?? Theres nothing in your repository

Thanks


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - jaochoo - 2016-05-17

Would it be possible to implement controls to manage TV recordings (list, info, delete etc.)?


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - sstockman - 2016-05-18

managed to find my own solution......its only jarvis!!!

is there a way to get everything to view as poster?? instead of having to do it for everything you go in to??


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - slakar - 2016-05-19

Does the poster view not pull the movie posters by chance? my images are not whole.


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - aliastoffy - 2016-05-19

Hello sualfred. It is possible to show date and time in the video OSD if i press the info Button? Best in the upper right corner . It is possible to add or display the date and time in the main menu ? My experince is not good with xml. Is there a solution to add it ?


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - Nolik - 2016-05-20

Request: Change Default font

Please change default font Helvetica on Helvetica Unicode or Open Sans, PT Sans, Roboto or other Unicode fonts.

Because on first start Kodi (Krypton) with ftv skin (for not English language) user not sees symbols and don't may read welcome text and etc.

Thanks.

I created a script to generate full resolution thumbnails from your TV shows here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=276774

This really improves the quality of TV episode images, particularly on 4K displays.

One question: is it possible to refresh all shows (using local info) globally rather than selecting "refresh information" for each show?


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - sualfred - 2016-05-26

My python skills are very basic but you should be able to write an Kodi addon for this by using JSON to access all library items (gather all video files, create thumb, set generated image as thumbnail).
Best place to start is the addon section of this board and especially the wiki -> http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_development


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - optics - 2016-05-29

Thanks.

I have started adding the full resolution thumbnails. One thing that I have noticed is that, in addition to cropping the image, the episode thumbnail appears softer than my poster art. It's like the 1920x1080 source image is down-sampled and then up-sampled to the thumbnail size on the episode listing screen. By comparison, my poster art looks very crisp.

I am running SPMC in Unlimited (4K) video output on the Shield TV with the HQ scalers and other settings noted here:

RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - optics - 2016-06-01

Re my full resolution thumbnail question... if I am looking in the right place (IncludesViewTypeLayout.xml), I think what's happening is that the TV show episode thumbnails are being scaled down to 640x480, then those images are scaled up 2x for 4k output. Rather than scaling the 1920x1080 down to 1280x960.

Not a skin problem though.


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - optics - 2016-06-02

OK. I created an issue here:
https://github.com/koying/SPMC/issues/297


RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - Koying - 2016-06-02

Did you adjust the max thumb size?
By default, it's maximum 720 pixels high. See http://kodi.wiki/view/advancedsettings.xml#imageres

Yes, my advancedsettings.xml is below:

I just deleted my Texture13.db, as you recommended. That made no difference.
