Small change to how the recurring information is displayed.

Thanks pkscout, looks really nice. I have a couple of changes since the last beta that I've made, emulate.py didn't have the required imports for language and return after scheduling was broken.

BTW this is why I don't use the the XBMC Plugin repo. Their ridiculous guideline for only only plugin update per month doesn't work with a big plugin or server side changes that have very few users and fewer testers.

Ah yes, I noticed the return after scheduling thing. I thought I'd wait awhile before pilling on about that.

Once you release the next stable version, I'd like to look at some additional info labels or maybe reworking some of the existing ones (even if that means I need to update the Default skin too). I ran into a couple of cases where the data passed made total sense for the Default skin but looked a little strange in Confluence. Mostly things like the episode title and description in one field (separated by a semicolon) and reusing some fields (like the show description) for recurring recording information.

As I said, I'll wait for a stable release before proposing changes for those, as I think they'll require more work.

Sure I am open to cleaning things up. I'm finding with the new skin update the aspect ration seems to be off for channel icons (it might have been before). If you check your round icons you will see what I mean. ABC, WSBK and PBS are American channels I get that are not round anymore.

I'll look at that. I didn't change the way the icon was rendered, so it's probably been there all along. My bet is that I set the image to fill instead of keep the aspect ratio. I know that image control is square in the confluence skin, and I think it was rectangular in the Default. All my channel icons are square, so that's probably why I didn't notice it.

[mvallevand]

Yes I checked and changing fill to keep works well for me.

Yea, right now to switch between the options and the bottom buttons you need to do left or right. That's completely counter intuitive and, now that I've checked, not the way Confluence handles that transition in the video details. I'll figure out how Confluence does it and fix that tonight when I get home.

[mvallevand]

You just use onup/down to toggle groups.

I found another minor onright issue in nextpvr_recordings you have a 4011 id instead of 6000 to get to the scrollbar you might not have enough recordings to notice.
