[RELEASE] TV Guide - with XMLTV and streaming support

Cool thanks. I'll let stoli decide what to do.
The skin files in the skin overrides the ones in the addon, so stoli will have to do something to fix it anyway

I'll try to remove the seconds in the next release. I'm using the region information that XBMC provides, but I should be able to strip the seconds somehow.

The buttons in flyout menu still highlight properly. Different skins have no effect. Rolling back to 1.2.2 however does highlight the selected program in the program grid, but going forward to 1.3.0 or higher makes it vanish again. Any thoughts?

Hi, you should test with the lastest 1.3.x (1.3.4 at the moment).
I'm not really sure what's causing the problem. Can you reproduce with 1.3.4 and confluence skin?

This works great with HDHomerun for both OTA and CAM. Thanks for a GREAT add-on!

Two questions:

1. My CAM scan comes back with stuff like Channel 101.1, 101.546, etc.. The guide has no clue what these are, although I see that I can associate them with a particular TV Guide channel. But it will take a while to do it manually.

Is there an easier way to match the CAM channel numbers to the TV Guide information? (I am on TWC in Southern California.)

2. Also (and this has nothing to do with the guide, but maybe someone knows the answer), is there a way to use the Channel +/- buttons on the MCE remote control to flip through channels, instead of going thought the guide? Same for the number keys on the remote, to input channel numbers directly.

I just edited the channels in HDHomerun manually.

But now another question:

Is there n easy way to hide channels in TV Guide which are not available for viewing, or channels I simply do not want to keep in the guide (like shopping channels, etc.)?

I love this addon but not sure if i have found a bug. Does it not cache the xmltv.xml file as my local machine only loads the xmltv.xml on changes (its on that machine), yet one on a smb share, pointing to that file on the network, it seems to insist on loading it each time the plugin runs. Is that how it should work as it kinda slows the guide loading down considerably through a network share.

Zellig, yeah you can hide the channels by opening the context menu and choosing channels near the bottom.
In this window you can reorder and change visibility.

danz0l, yeah it's a bad compromise I had to make. I have to copy the xmltv file each time as I can't check if it was modified on the network share. I'm considering only copying it once a day from the network share, but this might also by annoying if it's updated during the day.

Hi all!

I am totally newbie at xbmc.
I use XBMC Eden on win7 64bit.

I use the xmltv source but I have a problem:

This is the log:

Hi Cirip,
There's a problem with parsing the dates in your xmltv file. Can you send it to me? - then I can investigate.

AH yes understood, as the date and time stamp wouldnt be available through the share ?

On another note, is there anyway to get the xmltv perl scripts used by tvheadend to generate a xml compatible file for this plugin ? At the moment i'm manually doing it from windows for my linux machines using XMLTV Gui and it works perfectly. But would prefer something i could cron run on linux if possible. Anyone any ideas ?
