Yeah I have been thinking about it for some time now, can't figure out a way to do so. Thank you for your fast answer!

 I had a quick look.
You need a lot of data to launch the PopupMenu
https://github.com/primaeval/script.tvgu...i.py#L1979
So if you try to do that from the ProgramListDialog you would have to pass everything in there to get it to return to the Listing.
It's probably easier to pass some data into the PopupMenu to get it to re-launch the listing view again when it closes.
That should keep you busy for a while.

Thank you  I will share my results here if I will come up with a solution.

With kind regards

i need to ask, if i put:

python:
d = InfoDialog(program)

d.doModal()

at the end of def onInit(self): the infodialog will show up at start of listing window without closing window, but if i put it as an action button it won't show unless i put self.close() why is that?

ex.

    def showNow()

python:
elif action == ACTION_SHOW_INFO:

            d = InfoDialog(program)

            d.doModal()

    def onAction(self, action):

python:
elif action.getId() == ACTION_SHOW_INFO:

            self.action = ACTION_SHOW_INFO

I forgot to mention i added a Info Dialog screen.

python:
class InfoDialog(xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog):

I don't know off the top of my head.
See if you can put that lot in a github commit so I can see the difference between the current version and what you have so far.

I hope you've read the documentation and aren't just winging it.
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/docs/python-docs/...mcgui.html

To understand what gets called by Kodi I would recommend putting in some log() statements at the start of those functions.
eg

python:
def onAction(self, action):

    log(("onAction",action))

I've defined log() at the  top of gui.py so it will output a repr of whatever is passed in in the kodi.log file.
That example is passing in a tuple of "onAction" and action.

I had to do that for all the "on****" functions to work out the execution order of them.

[M89SE]

Well I have to admit I need to read the documentation properly. I've made my own version on tvguide so it has a lot of changes and modifications so I can't put it on github and I'm still in the beginning of learning and trying out different stuff and mixing from other tvguides. I set up the log but I dosent tell me much.

If you want to see which action you need the getId() call
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/docs/python-docs/...tml#Action

I was only giving you an idea of where to start putting some log calls in.

You also need to put in log calls in the other places you are interested in to say when they get called or don't.

Big thank you for your help!

Big thank you for your help!

 If you get something going on github it's probably easier to discuss what you're trying to do on there.

Hey guys, what is the current version and where can I find it?

 repo and source are in the first post.
I would recommend installing the repo if you want bug fixes automatically.
If you grab the zips from the repo note that there is a Jarvis version and a Krypton+ version.

The repo zip is here for your convenience:

Is there a way to automatically setup the guide from the iptv simple client info?  I can't get things working with my urls from my provider (Limitless)

 You should be able to put the xmltv link in "Settings\Source\xmltv" and the m3u in "Settings\Optional\Channel Mappings\Import m3u".
If the xmltv is gzipped you might need to turn on the gz setting and take the .gz off the url.
That will map the channels to streams if the tvg-id values match.

Alternatively you can add the m3u in "Settings\Optional\Manage addons.ini m3u Playlist Subscriptions" and the streams will be added to the addons.ini file.
The channel mappings are then done by name guessing the first time you play a channel.

If you just want to add plugin links to IPTV Simple Client you might like to try out my new "xmltv Meld" addon in Leia.

Hello all, I just wanted to know if there was a way that I could add a select external player to this great epg guide.  I have a few streams that will not work with the default player.  I have created a playercorefactory xml for kodi assigning a default external player and it plays the streams great, but kodi will crash sometimes when I exit the stream. Further more, I cannot scroll the guide to see the other detailed descriptions without exiting the stream without losing the live play.  Any suggestion on how I can assign an external player withing the tv guide program itself?

Thanks

I don't think there is a way at the moment.
The AutoPlayWith timers will use an external player if you have set one in the Settings.
It uses the Kodi PlayWith command to set the playercorefactory player.
https://github.com/primaeval/script.tvgu...th.py#L138

Is there a unique pattern to the urls that you can use in playercorefactory to make them default to an external player?
If not, if you can think of a way to flag them as external I'll see if I can add it into TVGF.

[bizzs]

Thanks for the response.  Mxplayer streams well with minimal buffering where the tv guide default has intermit freezing.  I set my playcorefactory default with mxplayer within the Kodi userdata.  The playercorefactory works, but as I explained it does not play too well with the tv guide and causes kodi to crash when I exit the stream. Also, I am running into some trouble with the epg guide.  I created an xmltv file and the guide loads and stays current for around 3 to 4 days. It then loses the programming information like it expired.  Is there something that I am doing wrong to keep it updated?  I have the source set to load up automatically when the tv guide starts up and I am puzzled why it is losing the guide information.  Any advice?

Thanks
