Hi,

I have a proposal with regards to the PVR side of things. I've been talking with user Dumyat a lot as he has constantly been working on a sort of Sky mode for PVR specifically for Madnox Krypton and I was wondering if we should consider bringing him into the team to work on PVR?

This is just a suggestion as I believe none of us actually use the PVR side of Kodi and as such it's not easy to update / maintain that part of Kodi.

He may not have the best skills but we are all a team all willing to help each other and all further our knowledge of this crazy skinning witchcraft.

You can see some of his work in page 430 of the thread in the forum.

Thoughts?

@MadMikeDoc I sometimes use pvr on kodi and am setup for it. So no issues coding from my end. Like i said sometimes i use it and am not making it any kind or priority. But i have looked at how to implement the code and use of skin helper service for artwork.

My 2 cents;

I am not overly keen using skin helper for pvr thumbs. It works, but the tv guide changes hourly, daily for multiple channels. If you don't have an api key set up for skin helper you have a 2 sec delay in fetching artwork, even with the key it can be a little slow. It can be a user option but then it would still need to be limited in its use. The best way to test my theory is load up madnox and have a look at the music library view with the clearlogo, discart, album counts ect. It is a little slow to bring up the info on a fresh skin helper database. It's not an issue in this case as this content is fairly static in the long run, so once the database is filled it is almost instant.

For the coding side it's not really much different to any of the library view apart from the info labels. For the most part you could just use some of the views from the video library with some variable tweaks.

The pvr screens in the forum look fine for Aeon Madnox. There overall design i don't believe will fit the skin this version of madnox.

My personal preference is to not bring anyone one else into the team. I was having a hard timing keeping up with all the commits and communicating with everyone, the reason i needed to put everything on hold while i tidy up and review. 4 coders and graphic designer is what we have now seems plenty.

Ok, cool. No probs.

Yes I know it's difficult to control with multiple coders as had to deal with thru life of Aeon Madnox.
