RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - rynsmns - 2012-11-21

Hello Patelhe,

Here is what I have done with Amazon strm files... I have looked into 1Channel but I have not dived into it yet.

Let's say I have a folder filled with strm files for the tv show Big Bang Theory. I would source this folder as videos and set the scraper as TVDB. I would restart XBMC and watch as it scraped the tv show information.

I would then go to the channel configuration in PTV. I then have a few different options. I could setup a TV Show channel that plays just that show or I could setup a network channel putting the network as CBS. I could also setup a smart playlist with that show and setup a channel with a custom playlist.

OK...got the streams to show up in pseudotv...had to uninstall and reinstall it. Is there a way that the stream would autoplay so that I do not have to choose a source like putlocker etc.

Can somebody tell me where can i modify the dialog "coming up next"? I am trying to add the logo or clearart. I have made it in the seekbar and info dialog, but i cant find the item "coming up next".
Thank you

I'm not familiar with clearart, but i also modified the notification area.
In confluence, you have a "DialogKaiToast.xml" This is the base of the info message. To change what pseudotv sends to it, you must edit the section "notificationAction" in "Overlay.py" (found in "addons\script.pseudotv\resources\lib\") starting around line 800.

I've been trying to replace the exclamation point in the coming up next box with cover art, and just came across this post...I see that you apparently were able to accomplish this. Any chance you'd be willing to post the code you changed in Overlay.py? I see the notificationsection, but Im not sure what to change to produce the desired results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My intent was also to show an image besides the text, but that would need additional coding that's beyond me. The current code reads the title, description, path + file name of the video from the playlist file. I'm quite sure that you'll have to write a whole new rule in "Rules.py" that can be used for displaying images other than the channel logos.

With this in place, we could ditch VideoPlayer.Cover in script.pseudotv.TVOverlay.xml. And have the correct cover or fanart displayed when cycling thru previous or upcoming items.

The Amazon plugin is amazing when used with PsuedoTV. However there are a couple problems I have worked out.

When exporting the strm files the Amazon plugin will sometimes not export any of the strm files. To resolve this I noticed when I navigate into the show and view the individual episodes (which downloads information from Amazon) and then back out to export the season this resolves the issue. Kind of a pain but it works.

Amazon doesn't always name the folder of the tv show to the conventions used in TVDB. For instance exporting Battlestar Galactica creates a folder titled Battlestar Galactica '04. Changing the folder name to Battlestar Galactica (2003) allows the scraper to pick it up and import correct tv show information.

I don't see PseudoTV in the XBMC.org Program Add-ons section. Has it been removed? How do I install it?


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - rynsmns - 2012-11-23

It is available within XBMC by going to Programs > Get More... I just checked and it appears to still be in there.

Actually it's not, at least under a fresh Frodo beta install.

Not for me unfortunately. I'm using the latest version of Raspbmc, installed yesterday.

There isn't a version that works with Frodo, hence it won't work with a recently updated Rpi or xbmc. You also can't find it in the repo because of this. If you install it manually the script will just fail on run.

I'm still hoping to get an update to Pseudo TV soon

Yup, I have my fingers crossed!

It is still working on Frodo if you comment out a part of default.py
Replace the code from line 37 to 53 with this:
Code:
# if xbmc.executehttpapi("GetGuiSetting(1, services.webserver)")[4:] == "False":
    #     try:
    #         forcedserver = __settings__.getSetting("ForcedWebServer") == "True"
    #     except:
    #         forcedserver = False

    #     if forcedserver == False:
    #         dlg = xbmcgui.Dialog()
    #         retval = dlg.yesno('PseudoTV', 'PseudoTV will run more efficiently with the web', 'server enabled.  Would you like to turn it on?')
    #         __settings__.setSetting("ForcedWebServer", "True")

    #         if retval:
    #             xbmc.executehttpapi("SetGUISetting(3, services.webserverport, 8152)")
    #             xbmc.executehttpapi("SetGUISetting(1, services.webserver, true)")
    #             dlg.ok('PseudoTV', 'XBMC needs to shutdown in order to apply the', 'changes.')
    #             xbmc.executebuiltin("RestartApp()")
    #             shouldrestart = True

Anyone remember if Jason had anything setup to accept donations? I'd happily donate as a bit of incentive to update PTV.

Tried this and didn't work for me. Thanks though =^.^=
