The forum timezone is affecting the time of my post. But well spotted on the time on my HTPC, not sure why it was so way off, I will have to keep my eye on that if its gaining time that quickly. Correcting the clock fixed the issue.

Thanks.

Cool, I'll change the error check in the code to give you more accurate error report for future too

Me again!

I'm pretty happy with it just now, reducing the epg to 2 days makes it VERY snappy on my raspberry pi but I noticed one pretty small thing today...

Not sure if it's just with the Pi or for all hardware, in the configuration window 'help/instructions,' I can't scroll through the text, pressing down just brings me to the bottom buttons, ok, cancel, defaults, and up from them just brings me to the very top 'tabs' again... I expect that the 'while playing' info is below, which is really what i'm after....

Brings me to TVCatchup channels, as if I had pressed right 4 times....

Ahhhhhh you've got horizontal settings. Not sure then, I'll have to test it and let you know It's only a test really, to see if it could be done, we may change it at some point in the future.

Ok, here's the latest version of the plugin. We've got a new addition to our team, Karl aka tvbuncle, who has done some fantastic Theme's for our plugin.

We've got Blue



Blue Alt



Lime



Ocean



Rainbow



Red



We've also redone the Help screen rather then doing it in the settings.




You can choose which theme you want through the settings. It's in the repo so you should get it automatically, but some people aren't using the repo so you might want to update (especially as there's loads of bug fixes in there too). Enjoy and let us know what you think

Anybody having issues with getting the new version to load, go into settings and choose a Theme.

Edit: I've just uploaded a fix, hopefully that'll fix it.

Been using this for a few days and it's a great alternative to buying a Freeview PCI Card.

I do have 2 issues and a feature suggestion though, which may help improve the app:

1) The streams seem to be pretty low quality, even though I have it set to high in the settings... is this just my internet connection or are other people experiancing this?

2) Strange bug, but when watching something it only seems to register one number. For example, if on say ITV1 I can press 1 to go to BBC1 as you would a normal TV but if I press say 21 to go to Viva it will go to BBC1 (as 1 was the last pressed number). It works for channels 1-9, doesn't work for double digits.

As for my suggestion, would it be possible to have the app auto load a channel, BBC1 for example when launched, going to the EPG using the back button? This will help if you instantly want to just jump into TV.
