VDR-Server: Recordings -> PlotOutline vs Episodename - Solo0815 - 2017-03-31
On VDR-recordings "PlotOutline" gave some info about the recorded program (at least in Oct/Nov 16).
Some days ago, PlotOutline doesn't work anymore for recordings (= empty), but on LiveTV it is filled with info.
Estuary uses "Episodename" on TV-recordings. Changing "PlotOutline" to "Episodename" make it work again with recordings.
Was PlotOutline replaced with Episodename in the VDR-backend? Ksooo mentioned PlotOutline and Episodename is filled from the backend. Thats why I'm asking here.
I'm using VDR-server 2.2 which came with LE 8.0 on a WetekPlay as a server and LE 8.0.1 on a RPi3 as the client. It used to work with 7.9.x.
Thx

I noticed that skins like Estuary do not display plotOutline anymore. Since the name plotOutline seemed to me silly and outdated anyway, I changed it to Episodename.

For EPG plotoutline equals episodename. IMO pltoutline should be removed from the interface.

Please make the decission consistent -> Plotoutline shouldn't work for LiveTV also.
"Episodename" should be used for LiveTV, EPG etc.

Will do next time I touch that code.
RE: VDR-Server: Recordings -> PlotOutline vs Episodename - FernetMenta - 2017-04-10
Now I set both: https://github.com/FernetMenta/pvr.vdr.vnsi/commit/2667d23905d9346013d211122ad2e61408c492ba
Seems like PlotOutline is required for TVDB scraper

Thx for changing this, but "PlotOutline" is not working in other backends:

Please the decission what to use in Kodi consistant over all PVR-backends:
PlotOutline OR Episodename for Recordings AND LiveTV
Atm it is PlotOutline/Episodename for LiveTV and Episodename (all) + PlotOutline (VDR) for Recordings
It is not consistant, if you have to use "Episodename" for Recordings and "PlotOutline" for LiveTV and both contain the same info
RE: VDR-Server: Recordings -> PlotOutline vs Episodename - FernetMenta - 2017-04-12
It is on the PVR maintainers to keep this consistent. I take care that features like scraping work from an addon perspective.
