It would be nice if the xbmc GUI can show us which channels are tunable, i.e, a free tuner to tune them.

For example, I've 1 tuner and it's recording something, I would still be able to whatch channels on the same mux then, all other channels can be greyed out or marked or something similar.
Maybe a "tunable boolean" can be added to the Schannel struct and updated by the backend itself with "PVR->TriggerChannelUpdate()" or "PVR->TriggerTunableState()"??

Xhaggi /negge are you thinking of supporting this pr ?
I really misses season/episode info in xbmc. And as stated before, tvheadend allready has the info via xmltv import.

+1, I would love to have episode / season number displayed in the EPG.

I'm pretty sure that my XMLTV data also provides something like a True/False for if the show is a repeat or 'new' - this would also be a really nice addition.

Realy like the new Helix pvr skin features (the splitted views) and especially the ability to create new additional views for the Channels section.

I am currently working on making my aeon nox 5 livetv mod compatible with helix alpha2, and created a new view for pvr channels. Works very well, no issues Smile

But I did notice one thing, and I am not sure if it is a bug or if this was intended by devs.

If I have selected one channelg group (say, "Sports") and then select a different view than "List". The new view type only gets applied to the group selected.
So if I then switch to a another group (say, "All channels"), The view is reverted back to default type, "List". I have to apply the new view type here as well, so that it will stick next time I change channel groups.

Shouldn't View types apply for all channel groups?

How mature is the pvr section in Helix, good for daily use?

This was not intended by us, but not very well tested. As we now use the default window behavior, the view type depends on the directory path which is different for each channel group. Please add a new bug report to our bug tracker http://trac.xbmc.org and assign me. I'll check what we could do to fix this after i'm back from holiday.

but i'm not sure how many skins actually support the changes we made to the PVR section.

Great stuff, thanks Smile

Here's a screenshot of the new view, I just call it "Wall" for now. Will create some new options for it later on (e.g. show\hide info panel at bottom).

Here is the mod-topic if you want to take a look at the other views (some screens are outdated): http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=193991
Porting to Helix is about 90% done. Very happy with the result.

@schumi2004, very mature if you have a propper skin (Confluence or AeonNox 5). I've used it for over a week now, no issues.

**xhaggi** · 2014-08-20, 14:20

thanks looks great .. hope we see more views like this in future skins.

Jönke · 2014-08-20, 14:23

Hi,

just a thing that has just been discussed on tvh irc.

Using timeshift, if I catch-up in the buffer with play speed >1x or also by skipping forward, then I would expect that playback switches automatically back to 1x, meaning to live playback, when it reaches the end of the buffer.

Looks like the pvr plugins have no way to tell xbmc to change the play speed? Maybe there should be some callback to accomplish this?

Best regards
Diddle.
