So to sum up,the upgrade from 0.4.7. to 0.5.0a gives me 3 issues:

1.None key on the keyboard brings up the option to download subs(before the upgrade key "M" or "S" did the job)

2.Xmltv out of sync.I use manual setup through pvr backend with the same xmltv file I get from the the early stages of PLTV

3.Unicode issue with movie smart playlists(the known issue)

Roll back to 0.4.7. all issues vanished

Thanks

that's too big a gap between versions... don't have time right now to track down all changes between then and now, lol
I"ll try and find free time...

your xmltv file looks okay, you can try rebuilding your xmltv file with UTC and without UTC enabled.

Lunatixz,
I searched and think I found solutions to my issues.All tested under stable version 0.5.0

1.xmltv sync issue.Changed those lines under Channel List py:

Code:

now = datetime.datetime.now()
                        #offset = 0# Our difference from GMT in hours, minus 4 hours for the initial offset of the tv guide data
                        offset = ((time.timezone / 3600) - 5 ) * -1
                        stopDate = self.parseXMLTVDate(elem.get('stop'), offset)
                        startDate = self.parseXMLTVDate(elem.get('start'), offset)

to

Code:

now = datetime.datetime.now()
                        offset = 0# Our difference from GMT in hours, minus 4 hours for the initial offset of the tv guide data
                       # offset = ((time.timezone / 3600) - 5 ) * -1
                        stopDate = self.parseXMLTVDate(elem.get('stop'), offset)
                        startDate = self.parseXMLTVDate(elem.get('start'), offset)

and I see it works perfect

2.Key "S" for downloading subs.Changed those lines under Overlay py:

Code:

elif action == ACTION_SHOW_SUBTITLES:
            xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(SubtitleSearch)")

to

Code:

elif action == ACTION_OSD:
            xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(12901)")

and key "S" brings up the subs option to download

3.Unicode issue on smart playlists comes only if the genre of a movie is not in english(changed genres to english and they work)
The issue appeared in v0.4.7.d The previous version 0.4.7c works fine but I couldn't find the difference

Those changes aren't recommend, they will work for you but not the masses.

Change 1, all you are doing is bypassing UTC offsets. The correct way to fix this is by building your xmltv with UTC enabled.

Change 2. The window you are opening is not commonly associated with sub titles its actually the player menu. There is already a key to open subtitles. Either you have a custom xbmc keymap, or your xbmc skin was improperly ported.
