Remove End Time from OSD

Help and Support
1

Hi, so I have an autistic nephew who has been using OSMC for years, constantly skipping back and forth through movies is part of his day to day routine, but recently he has become frustrated for some unknown reason by the “End Time” that is displayed when the OSD is on screen and he is rewinding/fast forwarding. He keeps asking me to remove it and doesn’t understand why we can’t.

Is there any way to turn this off? He uses the default OSMC skin, I’ve been unable to find anything for this. I appreciate this is something so specific and odd, is probably not an issue for anyone else on the planet! and likely not possible! but hey I thought I would ask to try and solve a problem for him.

Hey there,

there isn’t a way to change this via a settings toggle. But you can edit the respective line of code here: Just remove $INFO[Player.FinishTime, / $LOCALIZE[19081]: ,] here and $INFO[PVR.EpgEventFinishTime, / $LOCALIZE[19081]: ,] here.

The file in question is to be found here on your OSMC device: /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.osmc/xml

Keep in mind though that this will be reverted with every OSMC update :see_no_evil:

That is incredibly useful. Thank you for sharing this, something I will definitely try!
The device is not online, so updates shouldn’t be an issue. Thanks so much, I thought this was so incredibly specific that I had no hope!:joy:
