V7 current time display gone in OSD

[artmetz]

Often I display the OSD to see what the current time is, but with V7 it's no longer showing.
I've attached a screen shot from V6.
I assume I can modify the skin to add the time back in and started to look into it, but thought I'd mention it here first.

I found a location to add the time to the display in PlayerControls.xml, but there doesn't seem to be support for @time as an element for substitution. (I've removed the @ to show where I'm trying to get the time to display)
<Skin>
<Element name="Background" location="0,72" size="100,14">
            <Rect location="0,0" size="100,100" fillColor="#000000"/>
    <Text text="@title" location="2.5,8" size="70,30" font="Title1" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
    <Text text="@channelInfo" location="2.5,8" size="94,30" font="Default_Opaque" align="Right" valign="Center"/>
      <Text text="@description" location="2.5,40" size="94,65" font="DefaultMinimum" align="Left" valign="Top" wrap="true"/>  
    <Text text="time" location="2.5,8" size="94,93" font="Default_Opaque" align="Right" valign="Center"/>
</Element>

So I'm stuck at this point.

You say it was in V6 but perhaps it was a custom unsupported mod since this request exists https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=64884

Not saying it is a bad idea but you may be the only one having this issue

I saw that post. My first screen shot in this thread is from V6 which I still have running on another system.

I don't see it on v6 that is why I showed the post and asked if you customized it.

On my V6 system, I see the time in NLite, Yauiclient and the NPVR client.
I've compared the skins from V6 and V7, also my own skins and can't find an obvious difference.
I've compared the config.xml and if it's a config file setting, UseLayeredOSD is one I think I had changed, but setting it to true makes no difference.
    <UseLayeredOSD>false</UseLayeredOSD>
    <DVBRemoveNew>true</DVBRemoveNew>
    <DVBAssumeNew>true</DVBAssumeNew>
    <GenerateLiveThumbnails>false</GenerateLiveThumbnails>
    <DefaultDVBCodePage>iso-8859-1</DefaultDVBCodePage>
    <ImmediateSkip>true</ImmediateSkip>

That must be a modded skin (not default) as I don't see it in V6 OSD.

Going back in time I did find @currentTime in v6.1.2 in Player/Video.xml which was commented out in 6.1.3 but it looks like after v5 that might have been covered by the cover art anyway. Now both the cover art and the currentTime are not available and I do miss the cover art.

So assuming you are still using C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\skin\Metz you may have missed that update in 6.1.3 and you probably don't have cover art.

You mean this from my V6?
