The full set of additional arguments for passing to the kernel is still just a single line of text; I don’t know if it can become multi-line or if there’s any comment support. Here’s my complete cmdline.txt file:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=b0373d09-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait vt.global_cursor_default=0

The elevator option is likely not needed; it’s a remnant from a previous experiment.

It did the trick my cmdline.txt contained several lines. Thank for the hint

Il also worked on PVR detection, the following code will detect recorded TV, live TV, tv show (library) and movies

# if enabled via settings.
if VIDEO_LAYOUT_AUTOSELECT:
    if info["Player.Filenameandpath"].startswith("pvr://recordings"):
        layout = VIDEO_LAYOUT["V_PVR"]     # PVR TV shows
    elif info["Player.Filenameandpath"].startswith("pvr://channels"):
        layout = VIDEO_LAYOUT["V_LIVETV"]     # live TV
    elif info["VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle"] != '':
        layout = VIDEO_LAYOUT["V_TV_SHOW"] # Library TV shows
    elif info["VideoPlayer.OriginalTitle"] != '':
        layout = VIDEO_LAYOUT["V_movie"] # movie
    else:
        pass  # leave as-is, assumed good for other type (file, addon, musicvideo, etc)

Of course corresponding video layout have to be defined and needed infolabel to be retrieved.

I also made a specific progress bar calculation for PVR to eliminate the start and stop offset of the PVR (my PVR start/stop the recording 10min before/after the actual program schedule)

def calc_progress_pvr(time_str, duration_str):
if (time_str == “” or duration_str == “”):
return -1
if not (1 <= time_str.count(“:”) <= 2 and
1 <= duration_str.count(“:”) <= 2):
return -1

cur_secs   = sum(int(x) * 60 ** i for i, x in enumerate(reversed(time_str.split(':')))) - 600 #remove pvr start offset
total_secs = sum(int(x) * 60 ** i for i, x in enumerate(reversed(duration_str.split(':')))) -1200 #remove pvr start and stop offsets
if (total_secs > 0 and cur_secs > 0 and cur_secs <= total_secs): #recording finished, show progress bar
    return cur_secs/total_secs
if (cur_secs < 0 or total_secs < 0 ): #recording just started, hide progress bar
    return -1
if (cur_secs >= total_secs): #recording ongoing show full progress bar (100%)
    return 1
else:
    return -1

And you have to specify when you want to use it:

    try:
        video_info = response['result']

        # See remarks in audio_screens() regarding calc_progress()
        if video_info["Player.Filenameandpath"].startswith("pvr://recordings"):
                    prog = calc_progress_pvr(video_info["VideoPlayer.Time"], video_info["VideoPlayer.Duration"])
        else:
                   prog = calc_progress(video_info["VideoPlayer.Time"], video_info["VideoPlayer.Duration"])
