It takes about 6-7 seconds from the time I hit the remote button to open the EPG until it's all presented on the screen. Navigating channels is slow 1-2 seconds, upwards of 10-15 if navigating to a channel off screen. It's still a problem even after the artwork spooler has finished. If I try to close before the artwork spooler has finished, PTVl hangs until the artowk spooler finishes then it exits promptly. I couldn;t seem to find the option to diable the artwork service to test if things improve without it.

Here's the log: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=65...file%2clog

Thanks

It is a Nox problem and nor PTVL. I always change to confluence when doing anything with PTVL settings.

Thought so too, but it was working absolutely perfect in the last built so I thought I should mention it. If there is nothing Luna can do that's fine with me. It's not that big of a deal to change to confluence for some adjustments and then change back. But I really really want my colored logos back

I really hope Luna is able to find the problem... *crossing fingers*

ptvl version is 0.5.8g

If I were you I would delete the script.pseudotv.live folder manually, and also make sure you don't have a duplicate install of PTVL maybe -master or -development.

then reinstall... because what you demonstrated shouldn't be possible.

Ok, will try that and report in a few minutes...
btw I would love to provide a log file, do you have any information why kodi log uploader is failing? Or is it just on my system?

If you use Dropbox, I was given this suggestion, move the Kodi log file over to your dropbox folder, right click on the file and select 'Share dropbox link' and post that link into your forum post.

(2015-02-23, 20:43)aptalca Wrote: [ -> ]Hi Luna,

I am having some issues on the 0.5.8G:

1) Artwork spooler is taking forever (last night it took 1000 sec) btw my artwork is on a samba share
2) While the artwork spooler is running, PTVL is unable to exit. I get the removing file locks in the notifications and the message Exiting on the screen with the blue tint until the spooler is done, which takes a looong time (no way to go back or exit any other way, after a few minutes I have to do a hard reboot if I don't want to wait too long)
3) Some media start playing from the start. This issue was fixed a while back. A lot of times, the media would initially start at the beginning but within a second it would seek to the correct time. It no longer does this.

While the spooler is running, the epg shows no artwork, but the info page does. I didn't really wait until spooler is done to see whether artwork shows up on the epg. The spooler takes too long and my patience runs out before that :-)

I'll post a log later today when I build up more patience :-)

Thanks

Here's the log I promised: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Pdr6Z...sp=sharing

This time I waited until the spooler finished (took longer than 10 min, not sure exactly how long, I wasn't paying attention). After the spooler was done, all the artwork was displayed in the epg with no issues.

However, the media starting from the beginning was still happening. Close to the end, you can see me changing the channels and about a third of the time, the media starts from the beginning rather than the middle. This was not happening in 0.5.8e iirc

Thanks

First, is there a way to go to the EPG by default when you first run the addon instead of playing a video? Also, is the default behavior to exit the addon when the "stop" button is pressed? It seems intuitive to hit stop to stop the video, not exit the app entirely. And the "enter" or "select" key/button seems to select the EPG, but the video (channel) keeps playing in the background. Is this normal?

(2015-02-24, 06:51)Raddp Wrote: [ -> ]Success! 0.5.8e does not have the guide issue I mentioned. So it seems it popped up for the first time in 0.5.8f. I'm going to stick with this version for now, until you advise otherwise. I'll be glad to test a new build for the issue when it becomes available. Also, let me know if you need any more info or log files. Thanks again!

I did the test also, and .0.5.8e didn't have the issues for me either. All the channels populated correctly, but it took an insane amount of time to populate the channels. I started the channel population at 6:55 pm, and for the 69 channels, it finally finished at 11:15pm, so it took a little more than 4 hours to populate.

Yup! and from my comparison between versions... the only change that accounts for the problem is duration parsing...

I changed duration parsing to increase channel building speed.. The way it was before (v.0.5.8e) had increased accuracy but was very slow.
The new method is faster, but relies on xbmc having accurately scraped information.

::Update::

I will add a setting to allow users the turn on "accurate duration"
