Elapsed time / Time remaining on live TV

hmc · 2025-08-25, 05:00 AM

On my Windows NextPVR client, the OSD for live TV doesn't show the elapsed time or time remaining for the current program. This information is known in the EPG, as seen by the vertical line.

Can the OSD timeline be updated to show elapsed time or time remaining? It's very useful to know how far into a program you are, and how much more there is to go.

Kodi, for example, shows this information.

Changing this to true makes it pretty nice. If you are playing past shows time shifted the OSD matches which is nice.
