Testing so far this week has been positive, so I have now merged the skyqa branch into master and released as v1.4
For backwards compatibility, anyone not wanting to have the images displayed in the media player when watching recorded programmes, you can turn this function off in the configuration with output_programme_image: False
Next on my to-do list for this component is to add this to HACS, but that may not be for another week or two as I next want to move onto enhancements for the LG webostv component as the buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right) feature being missing is driving me crazy, after which I will come back to this for more tweaks and HACS release.

Thanks for this!
Jut to be clear, in need to go to this link to get this version?
And do I need to download all the files again or just sky_remote.py
Thanks

That is the correct link. You need all the files to avoid missing any features changes

Have updated it today and it works great! I have a video of it working but too big to upload, but it works for “playing now” in that it shows it under the SkyQ word, left hand side.
Not at home so cannot try a recording for artwork, assume I just need:
artwork: cover
within my media card though?

I haven’t moved the buttons around yet to be logical but they all work and they are homekitted through HA too so “Hey Siri, pause sky tv” etc all works
Just need to automate the switches so they turn off after turning them “on” using HomeKit as once the “switch” has changed the channel etc there’s no need for it to stay on.
Just a couple of notes:
sidebar - does not seem to do anything
The “now playing” is very quick though

Oh that’s just old config for my synology nas that I copied in there as I was going to use the same card for something tv related

I’ve replaced the files in Custom_Components with the new versions, but I still don’t get any now-playing/channel information?
On my Entity information screen I also don’t get the extra information showing there.

Here too.
Try installing ws4py as well.
This is great, will there be any option to get epg data from xmltv for live playing channel’s? Thanks.
