Hi guys
Just a little nitpick I was wondering about.
A few of my TV channels have no EPG data (because the channel itself doesn't supply it). So my skin, and my LCD screen, cannot really show an elapsed / remaining time.
Because there is no EPG data, Kodi doesn't know how long the programme duration is. What is does then is show the time you've been watching, and then add 1 second to the assumed duration. The effect is that the GUI shows nonsensical time data, both in the duration and in the remaining time. My LCD (which normally shows remaining time for the running video), is flashing '-00:00' and '-00:01' seconds.
I don't know if this time data comes from the tvheadend add-on, from the server backend, or that it's just Kodi itself that tries to fill in the blanks?
I think Kodi will look a bit more professional if the GUI doesn't flash nonsense when you're watching TV. Perhaps you'll agree?
Can this be solved somehow?
A screenshot that maybe makes it a bit more clear:
