I believe this is a problem with the timer thread.

I thought that was normal behaviour, but after reading the thread code I realized it shouldn't behave that way - it's never coming out of the watchdog loop which restores the EPG screen when self.player.isPlaying goes false. I'll be damned if I can see what's wrong with the code unless the timer doesn't like having self passed in args[]. I mainly use python 3, so I'm not an expert on ver 2. BTW, I got into this because I was looking to add a notification of what program will play next near the end of the current program - I need to shut the alarm off if the player stops and waitForPlayBackStopped() or the callback seems the appropriate place. Thanks.

And when I choose channel in epg, open stream window appears. When I stop it, at the right bottom of the page information about the playlist is demonstrating itself.

1.3.5 version works almost correctly

I really like this mod, but i'm having som major issues I hope you can solve.

I'm using Danish LiveTV without a problem, and can watch hours of streaming DR in highest quality uninterrupted (or mostly - you know how DR can be), but when I use TV Guide, the video has to buffer for very long (>10 seconds) before playing, and when it finally is playing, it is choppy and laggy, and with lots of long pauses. I've tried to disable OSD, but this has no effect at all.

What can be wrong?

Now my next hurdle is the USTVNOW plugin, I can save the channels as favorites and select the channels in TV Guide to the correct program/station, however I've noticed now that the USTVNOW favorites are only valid for a 24 hour period, after that period they will need to be reselected and again assigned to the TV Guide channels. The end result is that it is a non working solution.

Now I wonder if we can do the same as done for the FilmOn plugin

To use the USTVNOW plugin from TV Guide, add the following code at the end of default.py, just before the last line which should read: Addon.end_of_directory()
You will find default.py in the plugin.video.ustvnow directory.

elif mode=='play':
name = Addon.plugin_queries['name']
try:
stream_type = 'rtmp'
channels = []
quality = int(Addon.get_setting('quality'))
channels = ustv.get_channels(quality,stream_type)
for c in channels:
if c['name'] == name:
print "URL = "+c['url']
print "setResolvedUrl"
item = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=c['url'])
xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(int(sys.argv[1]), True, item)
except:
pass



Then, setup a .strm file containing the following line:
plugin://plugin.video.ustvnow/?name=ABC&mode=play

You can use ABC, CBS, NBC, CW, FOX, PBS, My9 (note case sensitivity) for the free channels. The resolution will follow whatever is set in settings for USTVNOW. I use mc2xml set to a harrisburg, pa zip code to get the .xml for listings.

For some reason the indentations on the code above don't show correctly, but if you 'quote' the post you'll see the proper indents or if you know python you can figure it out.

This is great, exactly whay I needed, thank you!!!

Have a problem with the code, I get the following script error:

Error Contents: ('invalid syntax', ('C:\\Users\\Sony\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\addons\\plugin.video.ustvnow\\default.py', 84, 7, ' for c in channels:\n'))

So I must be doing some thing wrong with inserting the code


Update, figured it out working like a champ!!!!

Many thanks my friend!!!

Hi learningit,
It looks like you are not using the latest test version (1.3.99 at the moment). The error you got does not match with the source code. I have also made some change a little while ago to avoid the black screen you got.
Can you try with the latest test version?
Br.

Question: What is the trick to get channel logos to work? specific name? specific format (png/jpg)?
Thanks

(2013-02-03, 18:33)twinther Wrote: I don't know the exact reason, but the difference between enabled and disabled OSD is that the stream is played either in a windowed mode or fullscreen mode. When OSD is enabled the stream is played in windowed mode (even though the window takes up the entire screen) and sometimes XBMC has problem with this. My guess is that it is hardware related somehow, small cpu or gpu or something like that.

Maybe I am missing something, I have Frodo on my atv2 and on my windows htpc, and the only version available is 1.4.0 via the beta repo. Can't see any version 2.0.0.
