[Request] Clock displayed in menus?

What about the "Ends at" feature that PHT has. I find that much more useful than just a widget with the current time.

Agreed, given the current GUI limitations of the Apple TV, is this at all possible?   Great work on the existing clock btw.

Yes it is possible and we agree it is a good idea.

Good catch :)

Should be fixed now, grab the latest github commit. Thanks

roidy,

I was looking at the clock again and it still has issues at midnight and times before noon. I do not know how to code, but I looked at the application.js code and saw two errors that caused the problems. On my setup, I changes lines 246 and 250 from "=" to "==" and it fixed the issues. I also think that you can remove line 253.

I also agree with a prevoius post that said that showing the seconds was overkill. I removed those from my setup and it looks a little cleaner.

Hope this helps

Agreed on the seconds being overkill.  Removing them or an option to remove them would be great.

D'oh!.... Sorry about that. Committed the fix, plus removed seconds and changed transparent container size depending on weather 12 or 24 hour clock is selected.

New Commit:- Video End Time can now be displayed on screen.

Please test and try to break it :) I'm sure there are some bugs I'm not seeing.

Wow, excellent work! Seriously very very cool and works great so far.  

One more idea I was thinking about today: in the resume playback screen, could you change the "Resume Playing" button to "Resume from 7:43" or whatever the time that the video stopped at was? This would be a nice feature and would help up feature parity with the official client.

Unfortunately no, the resume playback screen is an internal part of the atv's video player and not a screen that we added to PlexConnect (it's the same resume screen you get using home sharing). So we have no control over the text that's displayed on it. 

Ah, understood, thanks for the clarification. 

I have found on my Apple TV3 that the start time (top) and end time (bottom) aren't quite on screen. Each has their respective top and bottom trimmed off. Could I have done something to cause that, and if not can I fix it?

Sounds like you have overscan on your TV turned on.

I tried to find a spot in the TV settings to confirm if that was the case, but to no avail. Is there anything I can do to affect the settings of where the clocks display on my TV via PlexConnect?

Yes the latest github version of PlexConect has an "Overscan" option in the settings under "Video Player OSD" that allows you to move both the clock and end time, positive values move the clocks towards the edge of the screen while negative values move the clocks towards the center of the screen.

**UPDATE**

I was clicking on: If you don't have Git, you can download ZIP file and extract files to a local directory.
 

However I used the Download ZIP button on the right hand side and got the latest Git, and I see that setting. Thank you very much!

Umm.... Link and zip work fine for me :)

Try this direct link:- https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/archive/master.zip

Its the name change from xml_templates to master that is causing a few problems.
