Below is a thread posted in Program Add-ons regarding an issue with font size in TV Shows - Next Aired script addon. This appears to have started with the new release of BGN. Any way you can help at the skin level on how to make it right would be greatly appreciated.

TV Shows - Next Aired started having text and scrolling issues yesterday. The text appears to be too big/wide for the blue description box and actually overlaps downward and out. The text scrolls left apparently because of the size of the text. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really enjoy using the TV Shows - Next Aired addon.

Did the skin you use update? It is mainly up to the skin to make those pages look good, because Kodi doesn't provide adequate tools to a script writer to be able to provide default pages that looks good for any skin. The biggest issue is that scripts can't supply any font definitions, so the default pages I provide use Confluence font names that are known to exist in that skin. If the skin of your choosing doesn't have those font names (or has them sized differently), then you'll end up with fonts that look bad.

Your options are: use a skin with the full Next-Aired skinning done for you, use Confluence and let me know if the "today-start" page (that you cited) looks weird (they don't skin that one, but they do skin the Monday-start page), or tweak the default-page xml the script provides to use font names that will work with the skin of your choosing (which might require you to twiddle the skin's Font.xml to create some missing font sizes).

Yes, it appears to be an issue with the newly updated Black Glass Nova skin as it works as it should in Confluence. Thanks for the timely reply.

The Next Aired has never been supported by the Black Glass Nova skin.
I've always seen the big font problem in this addon since the beginning.
It's not the latest update to blame.
In fact no changes have been done to the font.xml file inside the skin folder in the latest release.
As you can see by yourself, the file has not been touched since the end of Janaury much before the release of version 3.4.1: https://github.com/Tgxcorporation/skin.b...i/Font.xml

I'll be glad to add the support for this plugin in the next release, even if for me it's useless. I am italian and the plugin seems to report air dates only for the United States.

Thanks

You are right about the font being oversized to begin with in TV Shows - Next Aired. Its just that the text started to autoscroll to left recently from what I observed. Thanks for adding support for it in the next release.

[Tgxcorporation]

Yes, i enabled autoscroll in the latest release.

That's it!

Added support for Next Aired in the latest development version on GitHub: https://github.com/Tgxcorporation/skin.b...c053c9563b

Looks better than I ever imagined. Looking forward to using a visually pleasing TV Shows - Next Aired. Great work!

Having an issue with Next Aired. I posted in the TV Show - Next Aired thread as seen below. Thought I'd run it by you while waiting for a response from the developer. Perhaps, it is something you can test.

Next Aired is not displaying TV shows info from yesterday (Monday) as seen below. It displays that there were 0 TV shows playing yesterday when there were 2 that should have shown up in Next Aired. I've also included my settings. The Black Glass Nova skin has recently added support for TV Show - Next Aired if it matters in regard to this issue.

I checked the code and it seems ok.
Then i switched skin and the first line is missing in Confluence too.
I think this is not skin related.

k. Thanks for checking it out. I'll await a response from the TV Show - Next Aired script developer.

Just checked Confluence and it is dispaying yesterday in Next Aired as BGN is not displaying it. I am still waiting to hear from the TV Show - Next Aired dev but hoping you can come up with a fix.

Got it and should have known better. Next Aired is now working as it should. Further, great work on improving the watched indicators throughout the UI. Many thanks for that.
