Release - Retrospect v4.1.6 (formerly XBMC Online TV) add-on

Retrospect v4.1.6

I recently stumbled upon a rather nasty issue with how I handle settings if you were to install Retrospect on clean machines. As new users might get a none-working Retrospect and might get frustrated, I decided to push a small Retrospect Update. On popular demand, I also added the option to disable the channel update message that appear after a channel update. They can now be disabled via the Retrospect add-on settings.

Note on Kodi Krypton

Kodi Krypton has some focus on security related to third party add-ons and repositories. To make users more aware of this, within Kodi Krypton all non-official repositories and add-ons are disabled by default and need to be re-enabled by the user. That way a user gets aware of what add-ons are not Kodi official and where the add-ons are coming from. As you are (or should be) aware of, Retrospect is such a third party add-on that uses its own repository. Therefore you will need to re-enable the Retrospect Repository and Retrospect itself. More information on how this Kodi features affects Retrospects and updates can be read here. As a reminder:


The only official and safe way of installing Retrospect is via the official repository using the official installation instructions. if installed from other locations, we cannot guarantee the quality or safety of the code of the add-on. In other words: code might have been injected if you download it via alternative sources.

Just finished an update: Uitzendinggemist v2.1.0. It now also supports RTL4, 5 & 7!
The release can be found on my personal website and soon on www.xbmcscripts.com.

I installed your script (read it on tweakers.net) and I think it looks very well.
Everything is fine but theres one bug. When you select a program, no matter it is on 1,2,3, 4,5,7 then the next page (page with date selection) pops up very little in the upper left corner. MAybe it helps to tell you i've got an 16:9 Lcd screen. Maybe it has something to do with absolute coding in your script? If you want i can post a screenshot for you?

Strange. But a screenshot would be nice. I would also like to know which version of XBMC (when it was compiled, you can see that at the information panel of XBMC) you have.

Compile date is april fools day :-)

Ok, I think I know what the problem is. Could you uncomment line 127 in default.py.
So change
into

And then let me know the result (and compile date of XBMC).

Hi, wonderful script this is, glad that its still being updated.

I have a problem with it though, a lot of NL1 programs I cant open, for example NL - Radar, I cant open that one, I can click it, but nothing happens, on other shows it does bring up the show list.

Is it something on my side?

Hi Justido,

I check the Ned1 program "Radar" with the latest version of Uitzendinggemist (v2.2.0 see my website at http://www.rieter.net/uitzendinggemist/) and it runs fine.

Please check that you are using the latest version of Uitzendinggemist v2 and check the age of your XBMC build. If so, please describe the exactly when things go wrong (do you get the 'Radar episodes'-listing, or don't they even show up).

Let me know the results.
