[mvallevand]

I placed an update on whurlston's xbmc repo with some features and fixes from pkscout and I

- dates/times shown based on XBMC region settings
- updated Confluence and Default skins to accommodate longer regional dates/times
- granularized labels to allow more flexibility for skins
- updated Confluence and Default skins to use new skin labels
- fix for xnewa.getRecordingsSummary returning the recording date offset by one day
- made icon and channel caching consistent
- now use addon_data dir instead of addon dir for override fanart
- moved date/time format functions into XNEWA_Connect
- moved fanart functions into XNEWA_Connect
- configure cache permanent or with plugin (default)
- default sort order for recordings and recurring recordings
- added dateutil.parser for improved date handling
- tag in All Recording for Archive, Delete, Watch, Unwatch
- Confluence skin support for tagging
- store recording groups, choose in setting
- several bug fixes, some I remember
- EPG was always downloaded,
- problem with perm. cache.
- EPG scrolling
- initial support for upcoming NEWA
- use padding values from server

On my OSX machine I get a python exception when running the updated addon:

Same code works fine on my Windows machine. I think this is because the version of Python XBMC uses on OSX is different than the one used in Windows. I did a quick Google search and found a stackoverflow post indicating that something in the ElementTree syntax is different for newer versions of Python.

No big thing for me. The OSX machine is my development box. Apologies that I didn't have a chance to test the beta and find this earlier.

On my OSX machine I get a python exception when running the updated addon:

Ok thanks I will have to try this on Android (eventually) since it uses 2.6 it probably fails there too. Ok it failed in Android but I think I have a workaround in 2.4.2

Code:

def setChannelGroups(self):
        import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
        from XNEWAGlobals import *

        settings_file = os.path.join(WHERE_AM_I, 'resources' ,'settings.xml')
        tree = ET.parse(settings_file)
        root = tree.getroot()
        values = None
        try :
            for setting in root.findall("category/setting[@id='group']"):
                values = setting.attrib['values']
                break
        except:
            for setting in root.findall('.//setting'):
                if setting.attrib.has_key('id'):
                    if setting.attrib['id'] == 'group':
                        values =  setting.attrib['values']
                        break

        if values != None:
            groups = '|'.join(self.channelGroups)
            if values != groups:
                setting.set('values',groups)
                tree.write(settings_file)

That did it. Mahalo.

I updated x-newa to 2.4.2 for xbmc on both windows 7 laptop and on android tablet. On both I had "unable to load newa data"-error.
I attached the logs.

Thanks, there's a problem with some unicode in a channel name. Don't you use channel icons?

Martin

Yes I do. Maybe this one is giving problems: "Eén.png" ?

Wim

[WKleeven]

Well I changed the name of the icon file to "Een.png" but that didn't change anything, but changing the channel name to "Een" fixed the "unable to load newa data"-error. This is new to this version, this problem didn't happen in the previous version.

I'm not sure whether I should post this here or in the other thread (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...rror/page4), but here we go:
Now, I've still got a problem I already mentioned in another thread and that is that pressing "ok" when on "play" or "resume" in webclient in xbmc, nothing happens. I have this problem since I changed ROM on my android box (also with the previous version of x-newa).

Logs attached.

I do see a message

02:19:22 T:1837873328 NOTICE: No module named fanart

It might be one of the changes that pkscout and I made. If you enable fanart (Copy Cover Art) does it help? It didn't make a difference here. When you install x-newa you are doing it fresh, and not using xbmcbackup right?

Martin

[WKleeven]

First on windows laptop it does seem to make a difference, however I now see a different problem: when in recordings menu after entering "a gifted man" and seeing 1 recording, then pressing "escape" going back to the overview, then entering "buried" I see the 1 recording of "a gifted man" again.

Then in androidbox (for the first time ever) I used xbmcbackup. So I uninstalled x-newa and installed it again (with the copy cover art button pressed) and it works.
And I don't have the above problem (as on windows laptop).
