[RELEASE] TV Show Next Aired (Script) Addon

emueyes · 2013-05-05 04:28

Ah, ok thanks. Is there a list of skins that do? I'm planning on using Aeon Nox at some stage, but don't want to go installing a new skin that isn't going to work. This feature (Next Aired) is important enough to me to base skin choices on. (I'm using Confluence as shipped with Frodo, it doesn't seem to work).

EDIT: I just discovered Next Aired support on the Aeon Nox feature list.

Or you could modify Confluence.

1. copy folder skin.confluence to skin.myskin
2. edit addon.xml in skin.myskin

Code:

id="skin.myskin"

name="myskin"

3. edit /skin.myskin/720p/MyVideoNav.xml
add:

Code:

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

4. depending on the view you use List/Media Info/Fanart (each has its own section in the xml file) edit /skin.myskin/720p/ViewsVideoLibrary.xml.
E.g. i use Media Info (MediaListView2) so in the section <include name="MediaListView2"> search for "Year Value". It is a label displaying the Production year of the selected show in the lower right above “Genre”. I replaced the year with the next air date by commenting

Code:

<!-- <label fallback="416">$INFO[listitem.Year]</label> -->

out and adding

Code:

<label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(NextAired.NextDate)]</label>

5. Run the addon at least once from “Programs” to get the Info for your series.
6. You can replace the “Year” text in front of the airdate by editing the label “Year txt” above.
Replace

Code:

<label>$LOCALIZE[345]:</label>

with the text you want displayed.

As streaming is so effective with XBMC I no longer download many TV shows - hence they won't be in my Library.

I'd love this Addon to be able to simply add the names of Shows to be included.

e.g.. Say I want Next Aired to include Elementary but I don't have it in my Library.

Is this possible or is there a script that a newbie can edit?

Just put an empty folder with artwork in your TV section

Thanks for the tip.

I can create an empty folder but I'm not clear about the 'with artwork' bit. What do you mean by that?

You need to have a landscape and a banner, logo or folder image in each folder for the addon to have something to display in its main window. (TV Guide view)
This is not necessary if you just need the next-aired info when viewing TV Shows.

Thanks for following up.

So if I've got this right....

For eg Elementary:
I create an Elementary Folder And from somewhere (?) I put in its banner.
Next-aired will then recognise that and include it in its display.

The downside as far as I can see would be that there'd be an Elementary listing in my TV Shows section - which would have no shows.

Not sure that would suit me. I wouldn't want my TV Shows section to have listings of shows I don't have.

Or have I misunderstood?

in advancedsettings.xml you can add a rule to hide empty shows in your library

Brilliant!

Thank you.

Nope.

I'm too dumb to get it working.

I created a Doctor Who folder (as I knew that should appear in next aired (tomorrow)).
I went to thetvdb,com site and downed its banner and poster and put it in the folder.
I went to Videos / Files / Add Videos and directed it to the folder.
My TV Shows now has a blank listing for Doctor Who.
Opened Next Aired and it's not included the show.

Sorry to be so dumb but I need more help.

EDIT: SUCCESS! I was calling the folder 'Doctor Who' but that referred to the 1963 series - as 'Doctor Who (2005)' it worked just fine.

Thank you
