EPG plugin info question

[lar282]

are you talking about the "runtime" variable? it should be giving you AM or PM at the end of the time returned.

yes the runtime. It gives me this. I do not see any am or pm

söndag mars 20 08:30 - 09:55

I'm using the same build, and it's working just fine for me.
I'm using epg>runtime in the screen, and it is properly displaying AM/PM

masta

huh......

hmm wonder what the difference is? Could it be system date? What are your OS system date set to and what language do u have on the OS?

are u willing to load my XML file to see if that works for u?

My OS is in US-English on Central Standard Time.
I used your tvguide.xml and it worked fine.
I renamed it to xmltv.xml and placed it in my xmltv folder. Xlobby properly populated it (I could tell by the international stations and language ) The runtime showed properly also.
I did a screen capture, but I don't have any web space for it. I can email it to you if you'd like

Well I figured it out. If I set my locale to English US it works
If I set the locale to Swedish it does not work

At least now we know. Still should be GREAT if it would be 24h format and a year, but its fine. I can have a US system I guess....

I would like it also if we could have the runtime in minutes as well, for example:
3:00 - 5:00 PM = 120 minutes or 2 hours
Or something like that, it would help with my particular recording program, but I don't know how useful it would be for anyone else.
I'm glad you figured out what the issue is. It doesn't seem like something that can't be fixed easily ..... but what do I know

ok how about this, I give you guys another variable

runtime:

and what you would do is provide the format you wish to use, by default the variable "runtime" is "dddd MMMM d hh:mm tt". So if you wanted to replicate the old way with the new variable you would do this

runtime:dddd MMMM d hh:mm tt

here are some more formats to be used with "runtime:"
