Another Skinning question - Ready Recordings bar

[sub]

The skinning system is pretty simplistic. You can largely only show these elements already showing. You can tweak their placement/color/size etc, but that's about it.

I'm trying to figure out what can and cannot be added into the metadata area of recordings2.xml. I've tried adding randomly found potential fields seen within the NextPVR.exe, as well as other default .xml files, but there must be a better way to determine ehich parameters work. For example, the database uses unique_id for long episode names, and I would want to display that within the metadata. I also want to add the channel number but haven't figured that out either.

Any insight would be very helpful.

There should be nothing of value to the user in the unique id. If you aren't using Schedules Direct (and you should be in the US) sub crafts something up with the the title and subtitle but those values should be available in other fields.
