Device name wrong in Signal Status - spinnaker - 2013-11-30
Not to be nit picky but the device name is wrong in the client addon. It still says pvr demo.
The status information is displayed by pressing the O key when watching live TV.
The WMC Server does not return a real status because it is not implemented.

It would be cool to populate those other fields too if possible. So if my picture is crappy I can check the levels on the fly and see if I need to call Comcrap out again...
Definitely items for the "shit to do when we're really bored" list. Probably 95% of users don't even know that screen is there or what all the stuff means. lol

And I would hope that if there is loss of signal and the correct status is returned for it, XBMC would display loss of signal similar to the WMC client instead of a black screen. While watching Live TV now, you just get switched back to the channel listing and really have no idea what is going on. Hopefully if we could get status working XBMC will at least let you know what is going on.

Wmc has never been great with prioritizing tuners, or switching tuners when it should. Wonder if those issues are bypassed in xbmc?(2013-11-30, 22:40)TechLife Wrote: It would be cool to populate those other fields too if possible.

It also happens when WMC takes over all the tuners for recording while your are watching live TV. From what I understand, it may be difficult if not impossible to fix that one due to limitations within xbmc.
