SVT Play no listing about plugin.video.retrospect HOT 26 CLOSED

Please try this version via the "install from zip" option:

https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/archive/refs/heads/bug-1718.zip

Most stuff should be working, except tags/genres and perhaps the search.

Branch bug-1718 was created for issue: "SVT Play no listing"

@basrieter
Fix works, thank you.

from plugin.video.retrospect.

In the initial fix I found a few things that didn't work:

• Categories

• Genres\tags (mentioned above)

• Live TV (This is working in version 5.6.4)

• Öppet arkiv

• Search (mentioned above)

• 'Currently playing' needs the time before title so we don't trying to play a program in the future. Right now there is 13 'Rapport' in the list. I think it used to be like this: '18:00 - Rapport'

Those are more or less the ones I mentioned in my post.

Please try https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/archive/refs/heads/bug-1718.zip again. I think it is all working again: 2 notes:

1. The "All Genres/Tags" was removed from their API (can't find it) so the listing is not as long as it was.
2. The "Currently playing" thing with the time won't work with the time in front, as it might also be that time day after.

Only thing left is the "Live streams".

from plugin.video.retrospect.

Live streams fixed: https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/archive/refs/heads/bug-1718.zip

Please verify, as I can't really from the Netherlands.

I have tested all first level folders and some Categories folders and eveything is working.

I have found a couple of things that could be enhanced.
I think Categories is rather important for the look and feel.

All is working and this is just enhancement if you got the time.
Greate work! Thanks for all the hard work fixing this to us.

Thanks for your feedback:

• Currently Playing: Fixed (forgot something)
• Live TV: End times are no longer present in the API. But I managed to get one by reading the next item in the list.
• Live TV: Thumbs are not always present. But most have them.

I will have a look at the artwork in general.

from plugin.video.retrospect.

Please redownload https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/archive/refs/heads/bug-1718.zip and see if it is better now?

from plugin.video.retrospect.

This is the image from Categories and Drama using Viewtype: Wall

The poster images only seems to work on Movies,
As for Series, text don't fit, text is missing, so you don't allways see the name.

Before you used the format image and there was the name of the shows allways visible.
I guess the image used in TVSeries show folder is the best option.

My guess is that the posters are not ready to use everyware yet.

from plugin.video.retrospect.

Currently Playing and Live TV look perfect and is workig OK

from plugin.video.retrospect.

The thumbs/poster are generated using their own API and the JSON data they send. They apparently cut of text:

https://www.svtstatic.se/image/portrait/1080/36820195/1686132923

from plugin.video.retrospect.

For the thumbs: use image/custom instead of image/portrait

https://www.svtstatic.se/image/custom/430/36820195/1686132923
https://www.svtstatic.se/image/custom/720/36820195/1686132923
https://www.svtstatic.se/image/custom/1080/36820195/1686132923

from plugin.video.retrospect.

For the thumbs: use image/custom instead of image/portrait

https://www.svtstatic.se/image/custom/430/36820195/1686132923 https://www.svtstatic.se/image/custom/720/36820195/1686132923 https://www.svtstatic.se/image/custom/1080/36820195/1686132923

But then they won't be "portrait" format and Kodi will "squeeze" them:

from plugin.video.retrospect.

This is what a poster should be:

from plugin.video.retrospect.

Posters (portraits) in previously Retrospect were never used in SVT Play.
Now Posters are used everywhere with the fix and it shows croped images, part of the text on images and images without text. It's not ready for using Poster everywhere.

When listing all the Category / Series on the website it uses the custom image
https://www.svtplay.se/kategori/serier?tab=all

When listing the TVshow, the foldes 'Säsong', 'Klipp' and 'Upptäck' mer uses the custom image
https://www.svtplay.se/atlantic-crossing

After the [Fixed: SVT artwork.] was applied it seems that everything changed from 'Thumbs = Images' to 'Thumbs = Posters' everywhere.

I think you should remove the fix and get back to use 'Thumbs = Images' for everything as before and just fix 'Thumbs = Images' for Categories and Genre/tags.

from plugin.video.retrospect.

I have gone back and dowloaded the version up to the fix:
Changed: SVT Live and Currently Playing tweaks.

I have tested this version and everything is working as before the API changes.
It looks perfect except for one thing as mentioned.

• Open 'Categories' and goto 'Drama'.

• See the images used for the folder 'Drama'
• Open 'Drama' folder

Both Singles items and TVSeries Folders is using the parent info from 'Drama'.
The foldes below this is working OK.

The only thing needs to be fixed is that Singels and TVSeries should be using Singles items image and TVSeries Folders image and not use the parent 'Drama' images,

If not possibe to fix this I think this is far better to released this and not the changes with using Posters.

from plugin.video.retrospect.

So basically: no posters, just thumbs?

I did find that the Search gives an error. Retrospect-log: https://paste.kodi.tv/dolafipero.kodi

What did you search for?

from plugin.video.retrospect.

chn_class.py - 502 - Searching for 'abba'

I did a search on 'Lokala' and that works.

from plugin.video.retrospect.

I guess it has to do with 'onlyAvailableInSweden'

See the above log:
folderaction.py - 133 - + KeyError: 'restrictions'

from plugin.video.retrospect.

When i click "Recent" the description is missing, seems it's using the heading instead?
See 3 screenshots below that illustrates what i mean:
