Hello thatguy7669,

Very good. I'm also working to finalize/add some missing screens :
- pvr OSD, new icons/buttons to call them from the VideoOSD window,
- recording details. (available only from the contextual menu)

Don't hesitate to send us your local changes, we will include them.

Just a small note:
I've been pretty annoyed with the context menu always popping up when you go from full screen tv to the tv channel view (which i often prefer over the channels OSD), so i changed <defaultcontrol always="true"> to <defaultcontrol always="false"> in MyPVR.xml.
It might be worth considering to include this change?

Otherwise:
Yeay! My favorite skin got PVR support!
And its looking awesome!
Thanks a ton for this!

Hello grywnn,

I'm agree with you, it is a little bit annoying.
Yes, you're right, changing it to true wasn't a good solution as actually the contextual menu is also displayed each time the TV Channel is stopped.
I will post a pull request after fully validated it. (they are actually some display problems with the EPG header if we are setting it to false)

Thank you for the feedback. It will be available soon. (I have also changed the pvr sub-menu calls to avoid the display problem)

Hi dekani, I believe that in the repo you are missing the DialogExtendedProgressBar.xml (used for supplying info on channel and epg updates at startup).
Here is the xml I use if you want to use it.. Pastebin: DialogExtendedProgressBar.xml

Hello Steveb,

It works fine. Pull request and credit added.
Will be soon available.

hi,
i have tested your skin with xbmc nightly from yesterday. i like your skin, especially the pvr part. but i have a little problem.

if i watch at pc-monitor everything is fine. if i watch at my tv in the living room the letters/words are a little bit small and its hard to read. i had a lock at the xml-file in metropolis skin folder and i get it to work with bigger letters/words, but the problem is the following: if you are in "Live TV Channel View" the lower bar (with the epg- discription and day,time,weather on the right) ist to small, there are only a few words (with bigger letters). therefore i have 2 questions:

1) can you give me a short advice how to get the lower bar a bit bigger (that means "higher", direction above).
2) the perfect way would be a choice in the options maybe with 2-3 different sizes for the lower bar and maybe different sizes for the letters/words. so you can choose between good reading and/or much more information. that would also implicate the movie-description in the movies folder.

hope you understand me, thanks in advance!
