Hi,
I am trying to get the EPG genre colors to show up in XBMC and I can't seem to get it working. The dev of the Live TV mod I am using for Aeon Nox says that the PVR backend has to support passing that info through. How can I do this with ServerWMC?

First step would be to switch to confluence and see if epg is color coded. If its not, then there are things to check in swmc, if it is, then its time to talk to the nox folks again and ask them if they use the genretype fields (see my last post) to do their color coding.
I don't know of a button to take you to the newest live tv data (good idea for a feature though), but I would think programming large skip steps would get you there pretty quick.
I can't recall if the EPG info is hide-able, I just know people have asked before. Perhaps some else will remember.

FWIW, I use Nox. In Nox with no mods, I do have the colors in the guide. Any time I have tried the LiveTV mod, the colors disappear.
The XBMC team, plug-in devs, skinners, etc. do this for us for FREE in their spare time because they want to. Think about that for a second before you start bitching...

is it possible to watch live tv from anywhere in the world or is it only possible from your own region?

Aussie - Please start a new thread for your question. It will not be able to receive the proper attention here and will probably not be answered.
Thanks.

Well confluence is the out of box default so if any other skin isn't supporting it, it would be great for them (or you?) to add support for Epg colouring using the existing fields provided :-)

I think if you set LingerTime to 0 in the advancedsettings.xml it will remove that bar. Or so i read...

You just need to put the icons from the subfolders in the main folder, I believe (in the Aeon Nox Live TV update). That's what I did and it worked. I'm sure the XML can be changed to point to the subfolders, but this worked fine, too.

Add
<epg>
<lingertime>0</lingertime>
</epg>
to advancedsettings.xml and the bar will only show within the 1st hour in timeline. Oh and remember to restart Kodi afterwards for it to take effect.
