The list content mode (FF/REW) is stored as config.plugins.moviecockpit.list_content.

Colours

There are no colour settings: the list colours come from the skin. Rows use the list's normal and highlighted text colours; a running recording (md_error, red) and a marked or busy row (md_key_yellow, yellow) are set apart by the plugin with those skin colours, also when the cursor is on the row. See Skinning.

Date format

movie_date_format is a Python strftime format. The values the plugin knows are:

Value	Shows as
%d.%m.%Y	DD.MM.YYYY
%a %d.%m.%Y	WD DD.MM.YYYY
%d.%m.%Y %H:%M	DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM (default)
