X-NEWA Public Beta

[gmilne74]

Yeah, we cold Canadian's gotta stick together... for warmth...

Thanks Martin. That's got it. I'm afraid I didn't realize that NEWA needed to be updated to 1.3.0 when I installed x-NEWA. Now its coming up.... too bad I lost a hard drive with all my movies on it last night ;-)

I have uploaded a new version of X-NEWA 1.3.1 (link in first post) with the new features I describe below. I am pretty sure all scheduling and maintenance operations in NextPVR are available from XBMC and combined with sub's playback it is a full client. This is a release candidate too since I am not looking into any enhancements.

- Can now use NextPVR's Archive background capability to move files between supported folders
- Grouping of All Recordings by Show Name
- Sorting of All Recordings by Date/Name
- Prompts before deleting cancelling etc.
- Profile based configuration use different channel lineups in different profiles Copy x-newa.ini to XBMC\userdata\Profiles\name to enable
- can have a read only mode to avoid deleting and cancellation. Manually update x-newa.ini to have

Code:

[XNEWA]
readonly = yes

- Filter files using NextPVR's colours, ask if you want more info

NEWA 1.31 is also required for this update. Thanks as always to UJB for all his help in making web services so complete. johnsonx42's R2 patch should be used too.

I have uploaded a new version 1.4.3 to the wiki (see post 1).

- Fixes several python issues with utf-8 handling
- Hardcoded white RGBA values in the skins since skins can change the meaning of "white" to whatever they like.

Minor update 1.4.4, another utf=8 change for InfoXML page handling plus extract GB/TB from InfoXML

Minor update again, 1.4.5 VLC mode NEWA call was wrong for LiveTV.

Dont know if the new 1.4.5 will correct this, but there seems to be a problem with my logos for 1 channel. V Tele has the CTV logo instead of the V logo and in LiveTV, NEWA and NPVR the logo is fine.

I don't expect it will, open a general support post with xbmc.log and I'll confirm. I use upper case with call letters with no accents so our V Télé is just CFGS-DT with the V logo.

What do i need to do to in XBMC to catch the proper information you need in xbmc.log ? just navigate to the TV guide and then shutdown to cut the log?

Starting x-newa and hitting Refresh on the menu will show me what I need.
