limit announcements after backend wakes up

[ikke-t]

I have a minor annoyance with MythTV PVR addon. I have XBian on RasPi running Kodi, and MythTV on PC as backend. Backend goes (or should go) to sleep when Kodi is not watched. Kodi is always on, just goes to screensaver.

When Kodi has been several days on screensaver, and woken up, and backend comes online, there is long stream of backend notification pop-ups in corner of the screen. Each stays there for some seconds, and then new one pops up. Things like "Recording Started..." followed by "Recording Stopped..." keep cluttering the screen often for quite long time. I might be already watching some video, and those notifications keep popping up on screen.

So could there be some limit when waking up from long screensaver? It would not push all those notifications one by one, but rather just skip them, and pehaps saying something like "There were 300 notifications from mythtv, skipping them".

This is due duplicate finder does not quite work in Finland, and MythTV keeps on recording same shows several times a day/week from different channels. This leads to excessive amounts of pop-ups.

I too have a tertiary system in my workshop that gets woken and used only once every few days and exhibits the same behavior. The messages are mostly for duplicate showings which Myth already knows not to and does not record. They seem superfluous and always wondered why the appear.

The addon hasn't any control of those notifications. Only kodi handles that regarding the recording rules provided by the addon. You can stop these notifications by unchecking the option in the kodi settings: Settings / PVR & Live TV / Recording, as below.

I suspected this was handled by Kodi. I will report the issue of notifications for skipped episodes over to team Kodi. FWIW, the tertiary system is the only one I have set to suspend and it disregards that setting you recommended when waking up. Looks like two issues.
