[Snapcase]

I'm trying to use the new settings class with a type="time" as defined in my addon's settings.xml

The time I'm trying to set is "8:00". This seems to be stored as a string in the userdata settings.xml, and returns a string with Settings.getString or with the older getSetting method.

However, trying to set a string results in an error, and the other setters won't accept the colon in the time format as they want ints or floats. I assume the 'date' setting type has a similar problem but I haven't tried it.

I don't know if this is a bug or there's something I don't understand:

xml:


<setting id="morningTime" type="time" label="31334" help=""> <level>2</level> <default>08:00</default> <control type="button" format="time"> <heading>31334</heading> </control> </setting>

python:


ADDON = xbmcaddon.Addon()

ADDONSETTINGS = ADDON.getSettings()

ADDONSETTINGS.setString("morningTime", "8:00")

python:
