X-NEWA 2.5.0 Alpha 8

[mvallevand]

I fixed the ctrl-r in alpha5, perhaps Kodi wasn't always sending the Record action back.

I have uploaded alpha7 to include pkscouts' Estuary 1080i skin,

- Web client sid login update
- Web cliemt tweaks for low latency networks
- Estuary skin updates

I'm attaching a screen shot of the updated Estuary skin. There seems to be a gray box in a strange place. I don't remember seeing that during development, but when I get home (I live in Hawaii), I'll check again. Also, a number of the shows have ': None' after them. I think that started showing up with Alpha 6 (or maybe 5), I just hadn't made time to post about it.

edit: I just uploaded a zip of that screenshot, as it looks like the forum tool shrunk it to the point you can't actually see anything.

OK, it looks like we cleared up the gray box problem via some conversation in the other thread. Any thoughts about the ":None" I'm seeing?

"None" is likely a bug if you aren't using 3.8.3 160929 When there is the new data in the significance field I do show that instead of S/E info, that is supposed to be Series/Season Premiere etc. Could you confirm that be editing XNEWA_Connect.py and changing

theDict['significance'] = None
and
dict['significance'] = None

from None to '' (two single quotes)

Thanks,

Martin

I downloaded and re-ran the NPVR installer to get the current version. Now it all looks fine. I'm not seeing None anywhere, and I am seeing premiere information on a couple of shows that just had their season premiere. Thanks.

The skin problem was the installer I had included both my skin and yours in the Estuary build folder. I have removed mine from the package and included your revised xml files in alpha 8.

Hi,

New to Kodi and this plug-in but just installed latest Kodi Nightly beta and this and wanted to share a finding as not sure if known/bugs etc.?

If I set the skin to Confluence it's not usable at all. Everything starts ghosting.

Also, if I want to have RW/FF ability on live tv I take it the only steam options I can use would be pvr (which won't do comskip) OR timeshift which introduces a decent sized initial delay?
The other streaming ones seem to not allow rewinding, only pause. The progress bar is also jumpy on the ones that don't support RW/FF.

If this is all by design would it be possible to maybe make live tv use one method, say pvr, but recording playbacks another to take advantage of the comskip? I know you can go to videos and play them back that way also but a seamless method would be ideal so if one wanted to just use only the plugin and not jump around or have different methods.

Anyway thanks for your work, otherwise loving it.
