TV Guide Issue

I'm also experiencing some issues with EPG:

1. In Timeline, time starts one hour before the real time, althougt it has no program info for this hour because the EPG info starts at real time now (afaik linger time has been removed).
2. I have to add 1 hour to the start and end time for a program to be shown correctly. (I think this is the issue you are talking about related with TVHeadend that will be solved)

I have found also some great improvements, congrats for that!

I'm working with pvr-ppa-test2 tag, perhaps I should try pvr-ppa branch or master before report this issues, I apologize for spam if they are already solved.

1. it sets the current time as start time now (changed a week or two ago). pull in the latest pvr-ppa changes to get that fix. I forgot to push the last tag, so if you're pulling the last tag in, you won't get the fix
2. same issue, also fixed

I'll tag the last ppa release and push the tag today.

tag pushed: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/tree/pvr-ppa-odk14

Times in EPG are not working well for me yet
I think XBMC should receive times in UTC, and it doesn't, does it?
I have to do more tests, I will report the outcomes.

Thanks!

I've started on a new, cleaned up add-on interface that will use UTC.

Thanks for your hard work with the implementation of the PVR stuff. Excellent work so far!

Some questions, suggestions or wishes from my part concerning further development of the tv guide.

Would it be possible to implement a function to make the shows that are currently on the air in another color in the time line view?

Would it be possible to make the dialog that appears when clicking on a show that is currently on the air optional? The skinner can make the information available in the time line view itself and if I would like to record the show I can use the context menu.

Also concerning the channel osd, would it be possible to make it optional to have the dialog to disappear when clicking ok? Now I have to click twice when changing channel both in the channel osd as well as in the tv guide.

you could do that in a skin if you like. think the required properties are already available.

could add some settings for that, but I'm not going to stick that in the guisettings, as there are too many options there already that can confuse non-techies. please post a feature request on trac.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Ahh, OK, didn’t know about that, tried to accomplish that a while ago but didn’t succeed. What properties are you referring to?

Thanks, will do that.

I don't have time to look into the source now. could be accessible from the epg container only. you could add this as feature request too, then it'll be looked to when there's time.
