Channel icons

Great skin, but I have little issue. The channel icons look little weird compared to other skins. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Damstas,

Not sure how the icons are meant to look, maybe if you can post an image from another skin that displays them correctly I might have some clue to what is wrong.

Looking at screen grab a couple of improvements come to mind. How do you feel about making channels with no icons use the number as I currently do, but a bit larger and centred in the area used for the icon? Also just looking at the screen, the current time looks a bit big and out of place. How does reducing the size of that text field a little and left justified in line with the channel icons sound?

As to the question regarding recordings, again not entirely sure what you mean. Where is the screen showing recording? Or where are your recordings stored in you system? I like most of the skin writers do no have live TV setup (we use the demo pvr client for testing, which is not real flash as far as timers and recordings are concerned). Location of recordings is controlled by your pvr client ( take a look at it' s settings screen), otherwise to get to the recordings screen, it's reachable in the same way as the EPG and other screens in the PVR section (should be a menu item in the screen settings dialog).

Damstas,

Found some time to go check this out and all I can say is "Oops". Have just fixed ALL of the issues you mentioned (plus a couple you did not). Have pushed the fixes up to Github, so my online github should now have the required changes.

Please post any other issues you find as I am about to make a repo pull request from the Kodi repo guardians in the next day or so, and I would like to make sure I have not missed anything.

Thanks for quick replies Wyrm. Unfortunately now with the latest version in Github, I can't seem to find Broadcast section at all, so can't watch TV with this latest release. :/

That's strange working fine here. You do have TV set to on in the "Home menu" skin settings screen? Either that or you have not updated ALL of the changes to the skin since 1.0.0 came out. One of the bug fixes in this series was to fix the display of TV and Radio menu items in the horizontal home menu.

You would probably find it best to to download the zip file from the github page and install it in Kodi via the "install from zip" option in the addons setting menu.

Damstas,

You have enabled TV/General "enable" setting in the Kodi settings menus AND in the skins settings menu Appearance/Skin/-Settings/Home Menu, do you have either "TV in Home Menu" or "Radio in Home Menu" enabled. This should show the Broadcast menu (in Horizontal home menu), or the appropriate entry (in the Vertical or Icon menu).

If you have checked the above and still have a problem it is time to post a link to a FULL debug log. See my sig for details on how to do this.

The issue was that it was not enabled in skin settings. Thanks. Smile
One more question though: How do I get more sub options under the broadcast, like EPG, channels and recordings?

Damstas,

Sorry for late reply, was busy with the new update.

Ordinarily to add items to the menus you would need to make whatever you wanted to add a favourite. Then assign the favourite to a free custom menu item in the skins "Custom Favourites" skin settings menu. But there are some things you can not make a Favourite from within Kodi, in those cases you need to get a little crafty.

In the favourites.xml file (located in your userdata directory) you will need to add a line like this one
PHP Code:
<favourite name="TV EPG">ActivateWindow(tvguide,return)</favourite

If you can find a command that Kodi recognises you can use it between the <favourite></favourite> tags, examples in the case of the Broadcast TV menu might be
  • PlayPvrTV
  • ActivateWindow(tvchannels,return)
  • ActivateWindow(tvrecordings,return)
  • ActivateWindow(tvtimers,return)
  • ActivateWindow(tvsearch,return)

But you can use anything you like as long as its a valid command (basically anything you can add to a keymap file should be a good).
Also note that you can change what the TV (or Movie, TVShows, MusicVideo, Music ,or Radio) menu item points to in the skins "Media Entry Points" menus. So you could choose to launch the EPG by clicking the TV menu item if you liked.

Suggest you go check out the "Media Entry Points" and the "Custom Favourites" menus to customise the skin to your requirements.
