What skin file(es) is/are used to layout the Info OSD when played via X-NEWA?

[mvallevand]

In my database, File ID 3329 has Path ID 879 which is "D:/NPVR Recordings/Chicago Med/" (and it's strContent and strScraper are Null).

I tried it here and it works as expected with matching filename. The actual setting is "Update XBMC library after play" so it is there just not good text

Martin,

Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this! I'm a little confused about this comment.

I do have the "Update XBMC library after play" option selected in the add-on settings. And I found the syncXBMC value in the settings.xml file (in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.xbmc.x-newa/) where the active settings are stored which was already set to true. The one I was looking at/changed yesterday was apparently the add-on default file (in /storage/.kodi/addons/script.xbmc.x-newa/resources/) So, I think that part has always been setup OK on my system. And, when I looked in my Kodi database, at that ID 3329 entry, it does have a "lastPlayed" date value set (although the "playCount" is Null--I'm guessing that you aren't updating that field only the "lastPlayed" one). Which does seem to indicate to me that at least part of X-NEWA is using that setting to update the Kodi database.

When you did your testing, did you use the original details.py from X-NEWA (in /storage/.kodi/addons/script.xbmc.x-newa/resources/src/nextpvr/) or did you use one with the changes you suggested yesterday:

Code:

if self.settings.XNEWA_EPISODE == 'Yes'

should be

if self.settings.XNEWA_EPISODE == true

(FYI, I'm attaching the details.py which I modified yesterday after I got that message.) If it did need to be modified, maybe I changed it incorrectly.

I changed both to

if self.settings.XNEWA_EPISODE == True

The first one is the important one, when it works you should see

Code:

Martin,

I'm just now having time to get back to this project... :-)

I changed both to

if self.settings.XNEWA_EPISODE == True

The first one is the important one, when it works you should see

In my details.py file, the first instance appears to be for deleting/cancelling a recording not playing a recording. So, I'm wondering if I have an old file or something... I notice in my log file

Code:

13:15:57 142294.359375 T:1365242784  NOTICE: X-NEWA Version: 2.4.8 Date: 2015-12-05

But when I go to the X-NEWA add-on in Kodi, it is showing the version as 2.4.9. I think that you just made a slight change from version 2.4.8 to 2.4.9, so I'm guessing that you just didn't change the version number in the debug printing in the code. But your comment about the important change to details.py has me wondering. Maybe I'll try uninstalling and re-installing the add-on.

[mvallevand]

I rushed out 2.4.9 so yeah the lack of internal logging for 2.4.9 was an oversight. It is quite possible this feature doesn't work in web client, I only tested in x-newa mode.

I just tried turning off the web client, began playing "The Catch" from the native X-NEWA "What's New" list. And I still didn't see any VideoLibrary .GetEpisodes or .Scan messages in the attached log file. :-(

It's going to be a linux file system issue. I expect from a Windows client it would work.

Humm... Here's a log file from Kodi on a Windows client. I'm still getting the same results (no episode information getting loaded/read by the player). :-(

Did you change those two self.settings.XNEWA_EPISODE == 'Yes' to == True

If so you likly need to map E: in Windows not in advanced settings.

Yes. And I selected the "Update XBMC library after play" option.
