- SchedulesDirect logos will use Logos Folder or Url if Logos Source is Folder|Url

@Drt1989 This should let SchedulesDirect use the Logo Folder or Url in Settings \ Logos.

You might need some kind of database reset to pick them up.

The Logos need to match the channel name, not id.
I expect it is case sensitive.
The url has space encoded as %20 so it should pick up files like "BBC One.png".

You can use Page Up/Page Down to change channel in Fullscreen Playback or 0 to play the Last Channel.

Most of the controls are in Settings \ Help \ Command Keys.

I still haven't got a reply about Program Images from SchedulesDirect so there aren't any right now.
You can try the OMDb/TVDb/IMDb method in Lab1 for now.

Sorry - Logos aren't loading. I did a EPG reset (btw this removes the channel listing from schedules direct, meaning having to set it up manually after the reset) I haven't tried a full reset yet.

Also even using the logos option within the channels section in the guide - this doesn't work, my logos don't show up when i navigate to the folder?

pm me your settings.xml file and I'll see what I can do.
It worked for me with a Logos Folder and a Logos URL.

There are so many Logo options now that I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was causing the problem with SchedulesDirect.
I don't usually use it.

Somehow my logos had been deleted (the folder was still present but empty) - I'm now able to load them, just need to change a few names. I have noticed that page up and down during playback doesn't do anything...

If you use any of the logo folders in the addon_data folder make sure you copy or move them somewhere else because they do get overwritten by some commands.

Some devices seem to remap the page up/down keys to something that doesn't work.
I think FireTV has problems.

See if the Keymap Editor addon can help out.

The other thing is that some addons can kick you out of OSD mode and into normal Kodi Fullscreen video mode.
The page up/down keys and the TV Guide OSD don't work there.

Also the Right button in TV mode will put you in Kodi Fullscreen mode where the page up/down keys don't work.

TV Guide Fullscreen is becoming a bit of a complicated beast now. Be careful.

Currently on Win10 at the moment, but will fiddle with keymappings at some point. --Edit yes the Radio add on does as it loads up the vizualisation. I noticed if I turned off the visual for music that the stream will play bu i will be stuck on a grey (think its a texture) screen and then no commands work - i could bring up the power menu by hitting s to quit....

Other than that the OSD seems ok, would be nice if I could choose display OSD for x amount of seconds before closing?

[gillmacca]

Stupid me...... with "info=extendedtvinfo" everything is fine ^^

Did it give you a choice of MacGyver?

That was a line from the post, not my own comment

[gillmacca]

version 0.0.241-242
- ExtendedInfo Multiple Choice

@gillmacca This should give you a select dialog if there is more than one match.

I couldn't work out how to get ExtendedInfo to do it so I wrote my own code to query themoviedb.org.
It still uses ExtendedInfo for the rest of the information.

[EDIT] It looks like it needs some fixing for some searches. I'll fix it tomorrow.

Works great now, Thanks

Sometimes my saved streams are starting for a second and closing. I need to push them few times. Zattoo streams open well but streams from kodilivetv.eu crashing a lot. Sometimes they crash so I only see a black screen and cant go back to TV Guide. Sometimes I get "Stream failed" and can try to reopen them

Experiment with Settings \ Appearance \ Playback Timeout.
It depends on the addon and your hardware.
On a version 1 rpi I had to set it to 30 seconds for some addons but most of my other devices only need a few seconds.

Hi, I tried with 20 / 30 seconds and its the same. Inside Addon folder HD streams starting normal. In TV Guide they crash often.
My Hardware is S905x 1G Ram 8GB with Android 6.

Soo, nobody else has this problem ?

I have to use SPMC rather than Kodi for some HD streams. The iPlayer WWW addon for example stutters like mad in Kodi.
It is due to the Video being started in windowed mode so the OSD can act as an overlay.
Koying has managed to make it work much better in SPMC.

You could try turning the osd off in Settings \ Playback \ Enable OSD Menu
or even
Settings \ Playback \ Use alternative streaming method.

[ködi-zömbie]

With OSD ON its stutters like hell , switched it off at the beginning. Alternative Streaming Method not helping here already tried it.

I try SPMC this evening. Thank you for the help and infos.

version 0.0.244
- Settings \ Playback \ Playback OSD (seconds) - (Playback OSD and Timeout are Cumulative)

This should let you choose how long you want to show the osd for.
BEWARE: On some devices in can't be zero or bad things happen. I can't remember why. Maybe I'm trying to forget.

The Radio addon plays ok for me but there is something strange about it. It hangs Kodi for several seconds while it finds the stream to play. I get a spinning Windows mouse cursor. There is no osd while it is busy.

If you use it a lot you can probably make an m3u playlist for your favourite streams by looking in the kodi.log file for info like this:
I don't know how often they will change.

Code:

Use the last url in that.

I had the same issue running Jarvis on Windows 10 & had to turn the OSD off to get the iPlayer streams to run smoothly. However, the changes made in Krypton seem to have solved this and it now runs smoothly with OSD Mode on, for me at least.

10/10 again.
Will play about with things

[gillmacca]

On to the next thing...lol
I've looked through this thread, but cannot see any mention how it is done.
How do you set reminders? Is it just from the context menu, or can it be done from the EPG?

It's just via the context menu. I've run out of buttons to make a shortcut.
If you can find a spare button I'll map it up for you.

All the potential Kodi actions that I can map to are at the bottom of this file:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs...mcgui.html

The Kodi keymaps map real buttons to those actions.
