EPG Timeline control - frankveltmans - 2013-11-23

Hi

I have a small problem in the timeline view of the EPG. Whenever there are programs that span a longer period of time i can no longer move forward or backward in the EPG... Now i have to move to a different channel in the timeline to continue forward.

Is there some way of jumping with fixed intervals (30min, 1h,...) through the timeline?

Thanks

Anyone? Latest Gotham build still has this issue...


RE: EPG Timeline control - Saner - 2014-02-06

have you tried resetting the epg database ? what backend are you using ?

debug log please

It happens when a channel doesn't have any other items for that channel, which means there's nowhere to jump.

Thanks, here is the log:

For example, the first channel has a show from 1pm till 8pm which lasts longer than currently visible, there are still shows after it (see last picture) but i can't get past the current show, i get stuck at 7.30pm.
So i have to move one row down, get past 7.30pm and then get back up again in order to see the upcomming shows. Very frustrating when multiple channels have long shows... Smile

I have this problem also.

Using Margro's latest build with Mediaportal PVR backend - https://www.scintilla.utwente.nl/~marcelg/xbmc/prebuild.html#gotham

As per OP there are shows after the long entries but it gets stuck, can be frustrating. Resetting PVR db doesn't solve it.

i can also confirm this as a bug


RE: EPG Timeline control - bluenote - 2014-03-07

This has been present forever. Unfortunately I don't know if it needs to be fixed in XBMC code or the skin.


RE: EPG Timeline control - xhaggi - 2014-03-09

this is an issue in the epg code of xbmc. could you please add a bug to our tracker? http://trac.xbmc.org (use your forum login)
