I have a few questions about the information displayed in kodi skins

this is information for my DialogPVRInfo.xml

pvr.nextpvr



pvr.iptvsimple



as you can see one addon shows the cast and director and the other one doesn't

textbox:

Code:

<label>$INFO[ListItem.Genre,[COLOR blue]$LOCALIZE[515]:[/COLOR] ,[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.Director,[COLOR blue]$LOCALIZE[20339]:[/COLOR] ,[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.Cast,[COLOR blue]$LOCALIZE[206]: [/COLOR],[CR]]</label>

which is responsible for this information in pvr.next

NextPVR doesn't send cast or crew for the the EPG or recordings.

bad news
maybe someday it will appear in the future

[mvallevand]

If sub adds it to the API I will add it for Matrix. I resisted asking him for it because it will only slow down the big EPG loads and no one was asking for it.

well if it increases the load,,,
you can always add a button (cast ON, cast OFF)
but I didn't notice any major tragedy on pvr simple

On kodi 19 I compiled the latest version yesterday just to install on libreelec and see the news, but kodi 19 is a non-useable version for me at the moment

[mvallevand]

pvr.iptvsimple just loads one xmltv file for the data, the NextPVR backend had to rebuild the xml file and stream each channel separately.

The LEx64 test build does have the pvr.nextpvr 4.30 but other builds still won't have the v5 changes. There are some advantages with comskip and with the new show indicator in Matrix.

I also compiled the version for LEx64 --branch 18.5-Leia, but I didn't notice any changes visually

there is certainly no erase icon button (or similar name, I don't remember exactly)

[mvallevand]

The option to remove the icons is in the 4.3.0 setup only. LE 9.2 nightlies should be using 3.3.17 so you should be seeing v5 timeshifting.

I just compiled and it's version 3.3.18

git clone --branch Leia-18.5 https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.nextpvr.git

warnings during compilation were also shown,but it was successful

https://paste.kodi.tv/epemafoged.kodi



now I don't know if the correct version is 3.3.17 or 3.3.18

[mvallevand]

3.3.18 is correct for Leia, but I don't think that is in LE 9.2 yet https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.t...package.mk
