Could someone shed a little light on what information: tvinfo(timedisplay) and tvinfo(timedisplaynoonnow) should return?

I tested these on a 30 second video clip and both came back with "03:59" and for the life of me, I cannot suss out why!!

Some information regarding "... special handling for programs on now" would be appreciated too.

Anyone?

I'll post the details of this once I look in the code Monday.

Basically we use these internally to show something like "30 minutes" instead of "30:00".

TVInfo(TimeDisplay)

Shows the start time of a program using the system time format, but uses "Showing" if the program is on now.

TVInfo(TimeDisplayNoOnNow)

Shows the start time of a program using the system time format.


TV programs use the field "Date Recorded" to store the program time.  The "Date" field is the original air / production date.

Thanks Matt, that helps.

That'll be all 44 functions written up. Hard to believe, but the re-write looks like it could be ready by the end of the week!

It really is. I just found it (I trust appropriate links will be added to the Wiki when it's done). Nice work, Marko! I really appreciate that examples not only show the proper syntax, but offer interesting illustrations of how they might be used.
