Well, with a lot of work from a lot of people here we go, a TVC Plugin for XBMC with EPG integration.
Okay, to keep things a bit simpler I've managed to setup the TVCatchup Official Repository. You can download the zip from here
Thanks must go to Tommy aka twinter for his original TV Guide plugin that made this possible, Sean aka spoyser for all his help with the code and Arkane for all the shiny new logos done especially for this
Instructions.
If you haven't already done so, you'll need to upgrade your XBMC build to one of the Eden builds.
1. Download the zip file from above and install using the "Install from zip" option by going to system > Add-ons > install from zip file. (Please note, once installed it will appear in the "Programs" section of XBMC, not Video).
2. Once you've installed the plugin, go into the "Programs" section of XBMC and go down to TVCatchup, but don't open it yet, instead press C and choose "Addon Settings"
The first tab can be ignored (although it allows you clear the cache and control notifications. These may well be removed in future releases). You need the TVCatchup Settings Tab.
3. Enter your Username and Password in the relevant boxes and choose the Quality of the stream you want to use.
4. Now if you don't want all of the channels available to be listed, then click on the TVCatchup Channels Tab and just untick the ones you don't want.
5. Click on OK and you should be ready to go.
The first time you open the plugin it MAY take a couple of minutes as it loads all the new Guide Data.
Once loaded though, you move around the guide using the Direction Keys and use Page UP/Page DOWN to move through the pages.
If you select a program in green, it will open the stream for you, but if you select a program in the future the plugin will ask you if you want to set a reminder.
Enjoy, and please post in THIS thread if you have any issues.
If you're having issues and using an ATV this may help.
