Why do I need to change the addon id? I think Mr. V's reason of being able to use both versions seemed valid.

I fixed the VARS for extended info and there was two more above the set ones. I also found a few other bugs here and there and the fixes will be pushed in the next few min or so.

This avoids having to set-up the menu from scratch. I assume you are merging to master, anyways?

Any idea why mine now playing is so dark?

[Solo0815]

The selector in the TV-section is red (user selected color) now, but it is brighter as the rest. Please compare this two pictures:
this is the normal "red" all over the skin

In this image, you see, that the Channel selector is brighter than the sideblade-menu.

---
I don't know, if the following bugs are known or "just not finished". But I wanted to mention it anyway.

"Color Palette"-selector should be inside of the Color-selector Window

---
The "Color"-square (here: Red) is not in the right line. It belongs to Highlight-Bar.

---
The selected Color does not match the shown highlight bar:

*This is not my default color* The selected color is "Pink", the Highlight-Bar looks "purple". I was using "Basic palette", because it loads much faster than the default "rainbow"-palette. Also the rainbow palette is misaligned. Was displayed correct in the github from yesterday.

Another question:
I want to display the remaining time in Live-TV as "+3 min" or "+1h20min". If I change line 781 in Includes_LiveTV.xml to

Code:

<label>[B]+ $VAR[PlayerTimeRemainingVar] min[/B]</label>

then I get only e.g. "+ 9". The "min" is not shown at all. Can anyone help me?

This is the one I'm having problems with.

Looks awesome !

We've been here before remember. I am using your mod to make skins. This is my 3rd. The other two were using an older version of the software. This one is your version ending in 9 and it zips, looks like installing and either gets a failed or installs only part of the graphics. I am not doing it via Kodi nor trying to put addons in it. I pulled the repo version off kodi. You told me it was ok to do it a couple months ago.

The last one I did.

This is the one I'm having problems with.

Don't you mean "I am using your skin to make mods"? What did I say it was OK to do?

I am OK with anybody making mods for this skin and using it however they choose but if you post it, at least give credit to BigNoid and myself. The only other thing I ask is to post things here on the Kodi forums so this community can benefit from the work of others.

Are you saying my skin (un-modded) does not install?

If you are talking about your changed version then I cannot help you cause I do not have the time to look over your code changes or research why it does not install.

I do this in my spare time and too much of it is lost providing support as is, so I really can't support modded versions of the skin.

I hope that seems sensible.

P.S. Might be a media folder issue... Try creating a Textures.xbt file instead of using raw images.

Merging was the plan but when too many things change it becomes harder to do. I mentioned my reservations earlier in the thread...
I will discuss that with Mr. V after I have had some time to mull things over.

Any idea why mine now playing is so dark?

Nope. Any idea why my washing machine is making this strange noise?

Do you have hide visualization behind fanart enabled and have something other than waveform as the chosen music viz?

Really gotta ask if you can use imgur instead of that site because it takes too long to load the pics

This is still the early stages of incorporating custom color selection so there will be bugs. I welcome the reports so keep them coming.

The TV channels highlight bar and the color swatches will be fixed in the next Git push.

You should not be seeing the palette selector anymore, are you only downloading specific files from Git and not the whole skin?

FYI, I will not be add custom colors to views yet since I am focusing on the system wide and home screen colors. I have a rather ambitious plan to be able to set up each view independently of each other but we will see if that happens

Sorry, no I have not hide visualization behind fanart enabled nor have i something other than waveform as the chosen music

strange thing is on My openelec machine it is dark but not on my windows machine

Maybe use limited range settings??

Actually yes the unmodded version was not installing. I reverted to an older version and it works. Thank you and enjoy that baby when it comes. I have 4 kids and 10 grandkids. Love them all to death.

hey i had a old build from the internet, the build used an old aeon nox 5 silvo version and LIVE TV entry was always visible even without a internet connection or bad address in pvr

now i created my own build and used the latest skin, now my problem is that i don't know how to set it up that live tv is always visible....


like said above....the build i got online had the old skin and live tv was always shown somehow....
my own created build now doesn't show it when i don't have good internet connection or pvr url set up wrong...how do i set it up like in the old build that its showed always


i really searched and googled but could not find anything so would be nice if someone would help me

[BobCratchett]

Only by editing the source code for script.skinshortcuts, which automatically applies the visibility condition "PVR.HasTVChannels" (or "system.getbool(pvrmanager.enabled)" on older versions of Kodi) to any link to the Live TV windows.

The visibility conditions are in lib/datafunctions.py, the function checkVisibility() somewhere around line 650. And you'll obviously have to make the change every time the script updates (and we're planning to update it soon!)

Edit:- Not sure quite what you mean by starting the iptvsimpleclient - if you just mean enabling it, you can do that through Settings > Add-ons > My Add-ons > PVR Clients

[Shinoby92]

ok seems you changed the code in the latest version.

i just meant that when creating a new shortcut item in aeon nox silvo (latest version from git) i name it LIVE-TV and use the shortcut (ActivateWindow(TVChannels)
then it will automatically disappear whenever pvr is set up wrong or i don't have internet.
Older Skin Versions show the entry always, it does not disappear.

I found the "checkVisabillity" functions but i don't know how to change it....i just used a 1 for "PVR.HasTVChannels" hoping it means it has channels..but it disappear still


Edit: I compared the old skin shortcuts datafunctions.py with the newer version...there is no difference in these entries....

is there maybe a workaround like creating somehow a "normal" entry -> adding (ActivateWindow(TVChannels) as shortcut but then that it will still get handled like a normal shortcut that is always visible?

[BobCratchett]

"PVR.HasTVChannels" is a boolean condition (meaning it returns either true or false), which gets added to the main menu item. Kodi checks these visibility conditions to decide whether to display the menu item or not. Just delete:-

Code:

elif action.startswith( "activatewindow(tv" ):
            return "PVR.HasTVChannels"

from datafunctions.py (being careful with the amount of spaces at the start of the surrounding lines - Python is very particular about things like this!) Next time the menu is built (to force a menu build, go in and move a menu item - you can even move it straight back), and the live tv menu item will be built without the visibility condition.

This is an occasional complaint with Skin Shortcuts and whilst I believe the behaviour as-is is better for the vast majority of users, I'm working on an end-user-focused set of updates to the script. I'll see if the hiding-of-live-tv-shortcuts-when-there's-no-channels can be made an option.

[Shinoby92]

wow thank you very much for so fast answering and helping me out!
i deleted it, it works thanks.
Would be really nice this option, because i have some urls sometimes these are really lame (server slow) so sometimes it vanished when i start kodi, then sometimes my router connection is bad, than again i start kodi and it again didnt showed up...always have to turn on and turn of live tv then sometimes it shutoff because epg data was a issue i didnt deleted the Epg data before turnin live tv on again...and and and...really much issues when using bad wlan or bad url....

my issue got solved thank you...

[BobCratchett]

I've added it as an option in the scripts settings in my UX development branch (not that I'd recommend this branch unless you really like testing potentially broken, incomplete features, with behaviour changes that may or may not make it into the master). We've got a repo update coming, the feature will be considered for merging into the version after that.
