Hello to all. Tell me how to do that in LiveTV put a widget with recently watched channels?

I just added the option to pick this in the Widget customizer. Will be in next update for Leia or current GitHub if you would like to test it before the next release.

@mikeSiLVO :
I tested your latest changes for LiveTV:
Here are a few suggestions/bugs:
- Please move the codeblock for "progress" with height 24 above the other progress-codeblocks. So the progressbar with $VAR[ColorThemelabelColor] is always on top of the timeshift-progress bar in GUI. That looks better IMHO.
- change variable "PlayerTimeRemainingAltVar" to

xml:
<value condition="Integer.IsGreater(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mins),60)">$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),,h]$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(m),,m]</value>

<value condition="Integer.IsLess(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(m),1)">$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(ss)]s</value>

<value>$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mins),,m]</value>

- In Estuary there is a string 31026 with "Timeshift". It is "Different options" in your skin. Can you please add a string with "Timeshift"? I added Timeshift Info: https://imgur.com/a/naR5gNq
- The channel groups are above the EPG now, so no need to display "Channel group" selection in the sideblade menu, if EPG is open. -> add visible tag for this
- There are many warnings like this in kodi.log:

Code:

Maybe we can discuss more improvements here or via pm if you want to ...

The progress with height 24 is, or rather should be, in the same place that Estuary has it.
I cannot really test this so can you please post a before and after pic showing the changes?
It would be helpful in knowing what, exactly, is the difference between the two.

As for the PlayerTimeRemainingAltVar I do not really want to change that at the moment but if I remember to look it over then I can consider updating it. Thanks for the recommendation

I can hide the channel groups in the sidmenu after some more folks have had some time to use it and there are not any reported issues. If that is the case I will remove it before Leia final.

As for your LOG errors...

I do not have any of those VAR's in my skin. I am not sure what is going on with your setup but it is not from my unaltered skin from either the download link in first post, my repository, or on GitHub...

Discussion is better suited in this thread/forum since I likely will not notice or respond to a PM.

hey i want to start by sayin this is my top 3 skin in kodi and i love this skin but i have a question is there away i could mod the skin for the favorites not to be the list view and icon view instead? because i got really bad eyes and it hurts my eyes using the favorites

Short answer... YES!! You can MOD almost anything if you have the time to do so!

Long answer... You would need to peruse the Skinning Manual (wiki) and learn how to mod it yourself until I have the time or desire to change that

'Hide widgets when not focused' is NOT enabled and I waited ample time for something to appear. I moved the mouse around just in case that might make a difference. Nothing happens for me but I'm glad to hear it works for you so maybe it can work for me too. Fwiw, I have dummy folders for some of my TV shows. They are scanned in and display metadata. I just want to use this add-on to remind me if something is on TV tonight but I don't have all actual files of all TV shows in my collection. But then I don't have any actual files OR folders for widgets like 'TV Shows Airing Today' and this widget appears and works fine. One thing I did notice, widgets relying on 'Skin Helper' don't seem to work. Those using 'TVDB' do. I see these icons next to the various widgets that can be selected. This leads me to believe the Skin Helper add-on is at fault but I'm ignorant and seek your opinion.

I am not nor ever have used any altered KODI. I only use official versions.

I used TITAN skin for years with 17.6. Others too. When I used external players, the watched status was always updated without fail. This is important to me. Now that I am using v.18, TITAN no longer fulfills my requirements. Your skin does and I'm migrating to it happily. I just notice a few quirks and I'm reporting them to you. Thank you for your willingness to digest my KODI and my SKIN debugs. I should note that not only does your skin fail to update the watched status when using an external player(s), so does Estuary. Once again, I am too ignorant to understand if this is related to skins and/or KODI core now that v.18 is in play and seek your opinion.

What version of Skin Helper Widgets do you have? You should have v1.0.38:

You should also have Marcelveldt's BETA repo installed so you get all the latest dependencies for any of his addons and please NEVER install it manually due to complications with varying dependencies and having their latest versions installed correclty.


I'm not really sure what you are saying here Do you have any TV Shows in your Kodi library? The TV Shows Airing Today widget IIRC is pulling info for all shows according to The Movie DB. The other Widgets use your library or at least they should. If you have the show in your library but with zero episodes then IDK how that works but I assume even empty shows would populate correctly. Yes the icon denotes the provider of the Widget data.

When I said stock unaltered Kodi I meant that I do not use any External Players, a MySQL DB, or any other advanced changes which I consider to alter Kodi core behavior in some way or another.

If in 17.6 Watched Status worked but it no longer does in any skin especially Estuary then that seems like a Kodi bug to me.

I noticed you mentioning being ignorant twice and I hope that is not due to my response to your questions. I re-read it again and I do not think I was but can understand if it appeared a smidge snooty or something. I usually am doing all of this at the end of my day and sometimes typing is just too much effort so I try to be brief and to the point

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, the problem was still there after I formatted the hard drive and installed just libreelec and your repository and your skin, with all skin helpers and add-ons which are needed to give your skin the ideal performance and features.
The DAZN Addon isn't the problem. Maybe it isn't 100% legal, because they aren't supporting kodi directly. I will research about it and maybe I will invest some money for a nvidia shield, where I can use the standard android app for DAZN and other "semi legal" add-ons for kodi.

The main problem is the startup of your skin at the first login. If it is more helpful, I will do another format and install a clean libreelec with only your skin and repository and post another log file. Since your skin works perfectly on kodi 17.6 (libreelec 8.2.5), I never would have thougt off any problem like this. Maybe some adjustment or add-on support issues with the new Kodi Leia but nothing like this.

Have you ever heard about a probleme like mine before? Not completely loading at first login, but fully working at second login?

Unfortunately if you have any banned addons (wiki) installed on your system including ones not specifically mentioned that provide anything for free which is normally paid for is not eligible for support on these forums. This is regardless of anything else that may be a factor.

I have used Profiles during testing of skin changes but I myself have not noticed this issue.

For the reason I just mentioned that is why I asked you to provide a debug log (wiki) and ask a dev for assistance. If you use LibreELEC, CoreELEC, SPMC, or whatever then please try posting in their respective forums for any further info that could help me fix this if it is not an issue with just your system.

Since beta 4 fixed some issues for my device, i gave Leia another try - this time, it works.
I also managed to get artwork to be functional.

There's just some small cosmetic stuff now:

Running latest Leia beta4 with ANS latest Git master

edit:
i just noticed that if you have turned on music fanart on home screen during playback,
it will rotate fanart every second.

Auto fullscreen music playback is basically a hack so it may continue to break from time to time during Alphas/Betas/RC's. With that said the latest from Git should be working until it breaks again...

I just tested Music Fanart on Home and it all seems to be working as expected so...
