RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - phsyraxion - 2013-06-03 NFO files are not just used for files not found on TVDB... They are useful for importing media at ANY time without needing to always connect to the internet. And the NFO files I have were exported using XBMC so if I was to "rescrape" wouldn't I just get the exact same data from TVDB that was downloaded in the first place and written out to the NFO... That being the runtime of the show is not correct based on the actual file? In addition to being able to import from local sources than TVDB, it is also possible to then add custom tags and other data to have the media searchable for kids correctly, display in the correct way etc etc. There are many reasons to use NFO files that have nothing to do with PTV. In the case I have, the NFO file is not even the issue. It is the data stored in the DB which is being read from TVDB, not the actual files. Re: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - Lunatixz - 2013-06-03 Ummm Aren't we in the PTV forum? Of coarse NFOs are useful... But we're talking about its role in using PTV... :D RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - bacontaco - 2013-06-03 (2013-06-01, 07:17)bacontaco Wrote: XBMC lost my settings for some random reason and I had to reset all of my PseudoTV channels. I finally figured this out! In case anyone finds this useful, here is what I did:
This gets me a channel that plays a random episode of Show 1, then a random episode of Show 2, and so on. After a random episode of Show 5 is over, another episode of Show 1 airs to begin the cycle again. RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - Westane - 2013-06-03 This may have been answered somewhere in this very long thread, but I wasn't able to find it, so, I'm asking. I have two computers running XBMC in my house. One is the primary HTPC in the living room and the other is my personal computer, which I have XBMC installed on to test features before implementing them into the family box. That said, the primary HTPC is fairly addon-lite, while my PC is loading to the brim full of experimental and beta addons. Here's my PTV question. My PC runs PTV just fine, I'm using the v2.1 master version. The living room HTPC will install PTV just fine, but the channel config tool runs off the screen, and when I try to run it with default settings it gives me a "Failed to start" error, whether I've set channels up or not. The odd thing is, I just built a new HTPC for the living room - New parts, fresh XBMC install and profile, everything, and it's having the exact same issue. I've tried it with multiple skins, and with no other addons installed. Running the latest Frodo 12.2 release on WIndows 7, though my personal PC is on WIndows 8.

Howdy - Try this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127492 RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - EZ1976 - 2013-06-06 hi everyone. i found a weird bug and i hope someone can direct me in the right direction. when PTV populate the channels, it takes the info of the movies to display in the info bar. when the description on the movie exceed 500 characters (more or less. the line including the movie name is more than 520 characters), PTV cannot display it and show the next movie's info. once i edit the channel file (the m3u ) and reduce the file to 550 characters, the info displays it ok. i think PTV cannot handle long movie information. now my question is, does anyone know where the in the PTV scripts, there is the parameter? and maybe add a line that tells it only to import not all the info of the movie (it doesnt fit in the info screen anyway) this goes the same for the EPG windows. maybe that is the source of the EPG sync issues? thanks EDIT: when editing the m3u files, i found out that lines that are not showing in the EPG are lines that have a total of 609 characters (including movie name). it is always 609 so maybe there is a parameter somewhere in PTV' s system files that: * either import 609 characters and cannot display them * epg and tv overlay info cannot display info that has 609 characters this takes the epg out of sync. so there is a need to change the import settings or display settings. anyone have an idea what needs to be done? thanks RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - Whiten5arc - 2013-06-06 Try it out, give suggestions or add bug reports to github.

I applied custom settings with the mce remote plug-in and everything works wonderfully except it now made switching channels by number in pseudotv stop working. I checked in the mce remote plug-in and the numbers are set up properly so I'm guessing it's something in pseudotv settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
