How to set 12 hour time please?

Hello all

I have LCD Smartie up and running fine with SageTV, but two questions please.

1. How do I get 12 hour time to show, instead of 24 hour time? I presently have time set as "$Time(hh:nn:ss)".

2. Running SageTV, I'd like to show the length of show (ie. 01:00:00 for 1 hour), but all I get is the end time. I've tried "7,0,1#h:nn" to no avail.

I'm not new to PC's, but I am new to this kind of thing, so my apologies if I'm being vague, etc.

Thanks

1. $Time(hh:nn:ss AM/PM) Should give you the result you want.
For more info using the $Time function go to LCD Smartie site there is a complete guide for this function.

2. Do you want to add the lenght to current time? please give some more info about it.

Thanks Limbo! I had found that (reading myself to death), but I'd like not to see the "AM" or "PM" at all. Can this be done? I mean....looking outside tells me AM or PM, Heh.

2: I simply want the shows length to show, following the Current Position (already there). You know....like 1 hour (01:00:00). Right now it only shows what time the show ends.

Btw. Thanks for a great program.

Using my search and replace plugin you can "omit" any string you like! U have to read the read me text inside the package.

There are some math functions inside the demo.dll. Function 2 is subtract as far I can remember. Playing with this you can subtrack the current time from end time (I hope so) otherwise post here to check if its possible to make a plugin for this.
Of course you can use the regular expresion to make some math functions but don't ask me about it. (i'm not using regex at all)

Ok, thanks Limbo. I'll work on this.
