After having not used PTVL for a considerable amount of time (due to a personal lack of time and the relative maturity of the project at the time), I decided to give it another try.

Tested it out quickly today on my lunch hour and I must say everything seems greatly improved. My main issue before was lag in channel switching, navigating the guide, and loading channel data. All of these issues seem to be mostly resolved.

Great work Lunatixz, and thanks for the enormous amount of work you have put into this project. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

PS: I also noticed the newest change log states that USTV is now built-in. That is amazingly awesome. Thanks again.

I was finally successful to get this to load. It is extremely sluggish to load though almost seems like it freezes but it is just real slow. I upgraded to Kodi 16 Jarvis 2 and deleted and reloaded this repo. I noticed one thing when trying to load USTV channels it stopped loading the you tube channels. I tried again without USTV and it loaded the you tube channels in the configuration. I still am waiting for the channels to finally load and appear.

When I go to view channel add on locks up and unable to view the channels saved.

On a side not I also updated the cache software recommended on the faq post.

I still need to figure out on github how to get the latest version of this add on.

Hi folks, Newbie here, I have upgraded to 0.7.2g on 2 Windows machines running Isengard 15.2. When I attempt to install PsuedoCompanion both machines lock up and have to be restarted. Below is the section of the log file:

Thanks for any help

Probably wanna start by deleting/uninstalling any and ALL remnants of the cancer known as SuperRepo. Then, try installing from Luna's official repo.

Thanks Rambo, I did uninstall Luna's repo from SuperRepo and installed Luna's official repo but I guess that wasn't enough. When I looked at the debug I noticed it was still redirecting to SuperRepo but didn't realize it was a problem, I'll try your suggestion.

Ok, I just uninstalled Kodi and deleted all directories associated with it. Did a clean install of Kodi and installed Luna's official repo and installed everything but am still unable to install PsuedoCompanion. Debug below:

Is there anyone else having slow startup with latest last two versions? I had some issues even getting it load initially.Any ideas for a solution? I am running Kodi 16RC2

Thanks

same problem it just hangs on initializing after the latest updates

Hi Luna

If USTVnow support is built-in to PTVL (as of v0.7.2c) ...AND... PTVL is the only way those channels are viewed on the Kodi box, can/should the Official USTVnow addon be removed from the system ?

Curious to know where I can clean up...
Thanks.

gjwAudio, I just did a clean install of Isengard 15.2 and so far have only installed Psuedo programs, 0.7.2g, USTVnow addon was not installed and it appears to work just fine in PTVL.

I've tried pretty much everything. Created mixed channel, tv show channel, custom playlist and none of these are working. I enabled debug and was able to find this in the logs:

Code:

I thought that maybe the sql query wasn't returning any result, however I copied the db to my desktop from the raspberry pi and ran the same query and even got the results:

Any idea of what could be the issue? Thanks.

Hi Lunatix, I've been trying several things to make this work. Can you suggest something so I can find out what's the problem?

Thanks.

OK, great. Thanks for the info @ronvenema.

I'll give the old NUC a scrub

Thanks, I think I found the issue. From the logs I understood that my kodi DB has all of my episodes duration set to 0 and pseudotv is ignoring them. I will check my parser to see if there's some issue setting the episode duration.

I am using the built in commercial functionality and while it is now working, it doesnt seem to be shuffling my commercials correctly. I am getting them in mostly the same order every time. Is there anyway to force shuffle?
