I'm really liking this new build. I have channel 1 set up to view one of my security cameras and it only takes a moment before enough of the epg is built to watch something else. It sure beats sitting there waiting for it to populate all of the channels. Great feature.
One question, do you have to do something in addition to enabling set top box mode in the configuration? i.e do you need to make any changes to the settings2.xml file?

Leave it on low for now... Low verifies the plugin is installed, High checks to make sure the plugin link is also valid.
Its currently to buggy for casual use.

Awesome, thanks for that. Everything else is pretty self-explanatory, but I wasn't sure about that one.
NOTE: After updating to the latest Master, Default Select Action is greyed out and not selectable. Not sure if it's because it's still a WIP, but thought I'd give a heads-up in case it isn't supposed to be greyed out.
Thanks Luna!

This Pseudo TV Live Manager is pure sorcery Lunatixz, you're the best.

Same for me. It is showing "Watch Now" and greyed out.
On another note, i was under the impression that if you place your own xmltv file in this location: /addon_data/..../cache/xmltv/ , you dont have to mention it in settings >> PVR>> choose xmltvfolder location and PSTVL will pick up itself. Well I was wrong.
It would good idea to indicate that in the 1st page under live tv that to use your own EPG , you must first configure the settings here:
Quote:settings >> PVR>> choose xmltvfolder location
Thanks for great improvment and your hard work. i like how pstvl automatically change channel after one channel failed to play.

It's greyed out because It's not finished... I mentioned I would try and finish it before release... but I ran out of time...
If you make your own XMLTV file, you need to follow the instructions for chtype 8... you also can't use the xmltv names "smoothstream","ftvguide" or "ustvnow" as they are reserved for PTVL use (which probably should be mentioned somewhere
). Also should be mentioned if you create your own xmltv file it should use "localtime" not GMT or UTC, so don't select those options in the xmltv grabber.
Glad you are enjoying... I'm trying to improve error handling, proper support for failed playback is missing from XBMC.

I have returned to PTVL after about a month as I was just getting frustrated. In that month I figured out better how things worked as I first mastered TV Guide, and then FTV Guide with my own addons. ini and XMLTV file. It works wonderful but I want what PTVL has, so I have returned. For the most part it is a much better experience, and I have much running (Live channels from pvr backend, internet streams from plugins, playlists etc etc.) I even bought Luna a few shots yesterday and became a contributor.
My problem is while my XMLTV file works great on both TV Guide and FTV Guide, PTVL does noes not account for my local time (North America EDT). Everything but USTVNow is off by 5 hours (I am using the provided ustvnow.xml listings.
I found some posts about modifying Channellist.py and while I can do that, I think I must be missing a switch or something somewhere.
How are you grabbing your XMLTV data for the channels that are off by 5 hours? I know in mc2xml you can put in some arguments to change the time so it would align up properly when read by PTVL
I am using WebGrab+, and it works great. Everything is in UTC, and I understood that the addon would then set it to local time. Is that not the case?

Well now it's version 0.5.6 and I finally managed to figure it out and load myself.
It's still a long long way from a plugin, we'll be able to use as a plug-n-play application.
And we're up to 2 external applications needed to get it running. And neither of those have quite caught to aiding the Linux users yet.
My satellite provider hiked our bills a couple more bucks, and we're all dyeing to dump those dude.
For some reason when updating to v0.5.6 i seem to be stuck in an auto-tune loop (was working fine with 0.5.5 and earlier).
By Autotune loop, i mean it says that upon startup no channels are configured, performed an autotune, and comes back again with no channels configured, and repeats over and over.
I'm running OpenELEC v4.2.1, and even installed the development PTVL version from GitHub which does the same. It was working fine with earlier versions and was fully tuned until i approved to apply the 0.5.6 update.
I uninstalled PTVL, even removed the userdata/script.pseudotv.live directory completely to start afresh and no luck.
This one really has me stumped, and was wondering if anyone is having the same issue or has any idea of what else to try?
Thanks.

Yes v.0.5.5 was working, but then I figured, why leave it like that... So I wrote some code to make autotune loop, over and over again...

Not trying to start a fight here, but am I the only one that couldn't follow this guy's post?
Are you saying you are running this on Linux and you need two external apps to get it to run? What apps are those? Have you tried setting everything to defaults and just autotuning?

The autotune loop is one of my favorite features, if you have a chance in the next release maybe you'll consider adding another loop to continuously wipe out the channel data.
On a serious note, this is BY FAR the best release yet. I have right around 20,000 movies/TV shows on my SAN and probably 20 live streams including a variety of security cameras and miscellaneous streaming devices and I'm happy to report that this thing has been running ROCK SOLID for 48 hours and counting. So many thanks to Luna for all the hard work.
To anyone else having problems, I learned a bunch of releases ago that one of the big things that always caused my issues was running the new version before I went in and checked the settings. I let the new version install and BEFORE I do anything fire up the configuration and try to familiarize myself with all of the options. Often there are new options, bells and whistles that need to be selected and saved or you'll find weird things happen because the new software is trying to use the old configuration. And it probably shouldn't matter, but I'm kind of fond of having a totally clean version of XBMC installed with the absolute minimum plugins installed for it to run. If you're like me, constantly experimenting with new plugins and goodies you know it doesn't take long to have your copy of XBMC all monkeyed up.
My 2 cents anyway.
Security cams. Crap! Why didn't I think about that

No idea, but its handy as heck to switch to channel 1 and see who's at the front door.
Thanks Marshall and lunatixz. No I have to go buy infrared cams.
