kodi PVR-devs:
Please make the use of "Episodename" or "PlotOutline" in Kodi consistent over all PVR-backends:
PlotOutline OR Episodename for Recordings AND LiveTV (including the possible change of "NextPlotOutline")
It is not consistant, if you have to use "Episodename" for Recordings and "PlotOutline" for LiveTV and both
contain the same info
This is the situation atm: (for PVR-section)
PlotOutline
LiveTV:
working
Recordings:
not working - working in VDR
after the latest change
Episodename
LiveTV:
working
Recordings:
working
NextPlotOutline
LiveTV:
working
NextEpisodename
LiveTV:
not working
Another issue is the use of "NextPlotOutline" for the description of the following program in LiveTV.
If it would be consistent, then Kodi should use "NextEpisodename", because "Episodename" has the desription for the currently running program.
The description in the wiki is also not correct for me:
Code:
VideoPlayer.EpisodeName (PVR only) The name of the episode if the playing video is a TV Show, if it's in the database
EpisodeName contains info, even if LiveTV is a movie, e.g. "Drama USA/2014" for "Good Kill" or "Dokumentarfilm, Großbritannien 2008" for "Wächter der Wüste"
