I checked a youtube video on the setup for this. I'm dying to get this running, but having no luck

Starts off..loading and updating channels. Then I get the below:

Listing unavailable - internet tv
tv listing unavailable - check your xmltv file

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've been trying the same thing (for a few days now) and for the life of me, I can't get it to work properly: episodes aren't in order at all...

my simple (but flawed)
- channel is based on genre
- play only unwatched
- play in order
- force resume
- unlimited entries per channel

Can anyone please enlighten me?

So I was playing around with this yesterday. Wanted to make a channel of only my unwatched shows and keep them in some sort of order.

I think what you have to do is in XBMC create a smart playlist. Set the Type to Episodes, name to Channel_4 (or whatever number your using) and a rule "Play count less than 1". You can then set the order to whatever you want.

Then in PTVL you then create a custom channel and point it to this playlist. You can then set more rules in there.

I think this will help you to get what you are trying to do.

If you are trying to autotune your setup, first thing I would do, is go through the autotune menu and disable "internet tv" and "live tv"

Seems like that's what causing your set up to hang, my guess is you probably don't have a XMLTV file for those sources.

Try disabling them and select "force reset on next launch" under PTVL's general menu.

ty sir. I figured it was there somewhere in the first pages or so, but for the life of me, I could not find it. I did scan and look, I apologize if I missed it, alot to digest in setting up a system.

This place rocks. thank you guys.

If there is a "hang up" I would really like a log, only way I can add code to avoid these encounters... Thanks for trying to help ARYEZ, btw I haven't forgotten about the music channels I'll work on it soon.

You are correct, you can also create more rules within the smart playlist to filter unwanted content... But the playlist does not have to be named "Channel_#" that naming scheme is only needed if you wanted to autotune the playlist.
If you are creating a channel from within a manager, it can be named anything you like.

Anyway, I force reset on next launch and enabled auto tune but I disabled everything, just to see if it will load up. This time around, it loaded and added a bunch of weird content from youtube lol. Now that I have it running, how do I enable it to play some real, good content? I know some guys had it running all of the U.S channels. Thanks
