@allixx can you test this on Matrix?

[allixx]

Tested 11b0fa8 on kodi 3a7e2f2 on Linux x86_64. Basic functionality (m3u playlist source: channels, groups, remote logos urlencode) worked fine. Don't use EPG so didn't test it. Nothing suspicious in kodi logs.

@2small you should be able to map to EPG colours using custom text with this PR. Can you test when you get a chance? You will need the latest Matrix nightly (or an up to date repo if you build kodi from source).

I correct understand, need describe genres.xml like:

<category type="64" subtype="16">Formula 1</category>
<category type="64" subtype="16">Basketball</category>

or not need set subtype?
and in the xmltv:

<category>Formula 1</category>
or
<category>Basketball</category>

and kodi will show epg color of sport entry, but write Basketball not Sports

[phunkyfish]

You still need to supply subtype it just won’t get used.

Just remember to enable the feature in settings.

[phunkyfish]

Alternatively on Matrix you can also just use genreId instead:

<category genreId="0x40">Formula 1</category>
<category genreId="0x40">Basketball</category>

but not show correct genre string :(

[phunkyfish]

It works for me.

Colouring:

One genre:

The other:

[phunkyfish]

Did you build Kodi yourself? Also, do you have plain log file (doesn't need debug).

Maybe just the log file. I checked your commit hash and it's correct.

[phunkyfish]

Weird that your genre is displaying as cC

[ghost]

I install kodi from ppa-nightly
Starting Kodi (19.0-ALPHA1 Git:20190830-c28fb64). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit
I build pvr.iptvsimple from PR 275 and install it
pvr.iptvsimple.log

I think the genre string show like byte value -> string, because different startup/reload time show different genre symbols

[phunkyfish]

Ok, I think I know the problem.

[phunkyfish]

Ok, try this @2small.

If you could add a debug log (even if it's working) that would be great as I updated the logging and want to see if it works for you too.

[ghost]

yes, great, genre name and color

good job

[phunkyfish]

Cool, do you have a debug log also? Want to check the logging for channel EPGs.

[ghost]

Next time i got debug log file, because for now out of development pc :)

[phunkyfish]

NP, thanks.

[ksooo]

plenty of remarks/questions...

[phunkyfish]

Ok, this is ready too. Strangely by encapsulating (or some other change in the refactor) I no longer require the #ifdef WINDOWS!!!

[ksooo]

Ready to go, imo.
