it's always been a nightmare for skinners to use the info provided by the script
as it needs a giant amount of visible conditions to turn it into something useful.

recently, 'Black came up with a suggestion to make life a lot easier for skinners.
so, we got to work and added two new features to the script:

1) you can now run the script when entering the library.
Code:
MyVideoNav.xml:

<onload>RunScript(script.tv.show.next.aired,backend=True)</onload>

and the script will return the info for the selected listitem.
(see included readme for details)


2) the script will provide a TV Guide window.
there's no need to construct your own tv guide with hundreds of visible conditions anymore.
you can simply use the one provided by the script and/or skin it to match the look and feel of your skin.

for backwards compatibility, all the old infolabels (NextAired.%d.Foo) have been left intact,
but i'd like to remove them in time.


if there's any questions or if you think we've missed something, feel free...

script.tv.show.next.aired v4.0.1 is now available in the pre-eden addon repo

Something's wrong with the first Thurs entry - it highlights Fri.

Oh my - all that re-work to do.

Still it makes sense to simplify it - good work guys.

Do you know if these kind of visibilities will still work for airing today style widgets?

Code:
<visible>substring(Window(Home).Property(NextAired.1.Today),true)</visible>

Nice work! I see one error in the log show up:

Code:
19:02:21 T:5720   ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
19:02:21 T:5720   ERROR:   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC_SVN\portable_data\addons\script.tv.show.next.aired\default.py", line 335, in set_labels
19:02:21 T:5720   ERROR:     label.setProperty(prefix + "LatestDate", latest[2] or "")
19:02:21 T:5720   ERROR: IndexError: list index out of range

Do you need a full log for this?

Also the TodayTotal returns 0 while in the next aired window I have several shows airing on sunday.

@Hitcher
I'll fix that, never tested with mouse. Smile

@Jezz_X
Do you have any tv shows? If so, try to remove the canceled.db & next_aired.db from userdata/addon_data/script.tv.show.next.aired
