EPG not properly working
I am using Kodi 17 on W10x64 (stupid idea, I know...) with MediaPortal PVR backend. More or less everything works as it should, but in the EPG there are some channels that won't show any data in Kodi. In MediaPortal2, it works. I think something goes...

How to make service result available to be used on the skin
Hi,
This is my very first attempt with Kodi services and skins.
I already modified my Titan skin to enable a third row underneath the time and date to display my IP.
My goal, is to display the external IP and location here, and so I also created a service that does exactly that and prints the result in the log file for now.
The code of the service is the following:
Code:
import xbmcaddon
import xbmcgui
import subprocess
import urllib
import requests
import json
import xbmc
import time
addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()
addonname = addon.getAddonInfo('name')
def check_location():
send_url = 'http://freegeoip.net/json'
r = requests.get(send_url)
j = json.loads(r.text)
city = j['city']
return "Currently connected from: " + city;
def check_ip():
public_ip = subprocess.check_output(["ifconfig `ip route get 8.8.8.8 | grep 8.8.8.8 | cut -d' ' -f5` | grep \'inet \' | awk -F'[: ]+' '{ print $4 }'"], shell=True);
result = ("Your IP is : %s " % public_ip);
return result;
if __name__ == '__main__':
monitor = xbmc.Monitor()
while not monitor.abortRequested():
if monitor.waitForAbort(2):
break
test = "Check IP and Location" + check_ip() + check_location();
xbmc.log(test, level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)and the result printed on the log file is exactly what I expect.
The part of the skin that I edited is the IncludeHeader.xml, and I edited it like this:
Code:
<include name="TimeInfoCompact">
<control type="group">
<control type="label">
<right>50</right>
<top>10</top>
<align>right</align>
<width>300</width>
<info>System.Time</info>
<font>Bold30</font>
<textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>
<shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>
</control>
<control type="label">
<right>50</right>
<top>40</top>
<align>right</align>
<width>500</width>
<info>System.Date</info>
<font>Reg26</font>
<textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>
<shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>
</control>
<control type="label">
<right>50</right>
<top>70</top>
<align>right</align>
<width>500</width>
<info>Network.IPAddress</info>
<font>Reg20</font>
<textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>
<shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>
</control>
</control>
</include>the last label is printing Network.IPAddress.
How do I make this print the result of my service?
Again, this is the first time for me, so any type of help would be really really appreciated. Thanks a lot
