My guide is showing sunday night football on saturday night. My time zone is MST.

You'll have to pm some more info. It was doing that to you before.

Can I ask for a wish for christmas ??

I want to scroll the list by touchscreen too. Can you do this for smartphone devices ?

version 0.0.257
- ESC fix
- big invisible buttons in main epg (up/down on channels, left/now/right on program description)

I can't make it truly scrollable because Kodi doesn't let you have scrollbar controls in a python window (which this is).

What I did do was make some massive invisible buttons that you can use to navigate around with.
It works ok on my Android phone so it should be really easy on a tablet.

You can press on the program image area to get back to fullscreen tv mode.

@primaeval, by just removing ?dl part and ending with below link has worked for me too.

Code:

Thanks but I think I'm still doing something wrong. Dropbox ends up giving me the link that ends in file?dl=1 instead of xmltv.xml.

@primaeval, I have the link as yours, i just removed the ?dl=1 and it worked for me. I named my file xmltv if that helps. I noticed after the latest update, press left to pull out a channel and move up or down is not working. am on window 10

Thanks. Try 0.0.258.

Well it makes sense not to be downloading everything in the back ground. I am guessing that if I had access to a better xmltv file it would come with more images. Thanks for looking into this some more. I will stop whining about images now lol.

If you want full control over your xmltv file you could have a look at my Webgrab+Plus Configurator.

Here is a step by step Windows tutorial to get you started.

It is easier to set up on LibreELEC as there is a Webgrab+Plus Service addon included with LibreELEC.

I'm ending up with a link like this that doesn't work.

Code:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/content_link/******/file?dl=1

Could you talk me through it like I was 5 years old.

Ok my link I got from a friend when that format was still valid, they have since changed.

Now you can still achieve this with a public shared link. Lets say your shared link is

Code:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pnsejbflctv8w23/Getting%20Started.pdf

just replace the www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com
so now the direct link without any http redirection becomes

Code:

@primaeval - Just another small issue, when using a combination of Remove Stream/Choose Stream in the Menu would previously bring up the Choose Stream dialog, now it does nothing & throws an error in the log, this is the relevant part of the log file:

Code:

Yay. It works. Thanks.

I read something about Dropbox changing Public to Private shares. Maybe this is a consequence of that.

This could save a lot of server costs. Is there a downside to doing this? When do they consider it abuse?

Thanks. I fixed it once before. Maybe I forgot to press the Save button. Try 0.0.259.

Well I just googled it and found this new way which was shared on a blog back in april 2014 so guess if they considered it abuse it would have been stopped by this time. I did however find this:

Code:

https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/201

Where they mention at the bottom of that page that rendering html direct in a browser is being stopped

Would it be possible to add (maybe next to the time in programme description) the date (or even today, tomorrow, and then date beyond tomorrow) for people with several days listings.

It used to be there until I ran out of space.

The date in the top right follows the epg data date. So if you scroll to tomorrow it should say the date.

When you start it will be on today. So if you can remember what day of the week it is when you start you should be ok.

Is that good enough?

Make sure you have Settings \ Appearance \ Show Long Date in EPG turned on to see the day of the week.

[gillmacca]

Thanks. I didn't have 'show long date' turned on.
I can always keymap 'now', so it will jump back to today
