RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - hadees - 2012-08-17

I'm am totally getting the loud popping static sound when I change channels. I think maybe it has something to do with buffering? I somewhat noticed that it doesn't happen when I see the video right away. I'm sorry if a solution to this has already been posted in this thread. I haven't been able to find it with the search functionality.

Also I seems to have to buffer on all channel changes. It isn't long but it does kind of ruin the illusion of watching real tv when there is a second delay. Anyway to improve that?

Having trouble getting a TED directory channel working.

The channel is configured as a directory channel.

Code:
<setting id="Channel_69_type" value="7" />
<setting id="Channel_69_1" value="C:\Users\Rob\Videos\Generic\TED.Talks\" />
<setting id="Channel_69_rulecount" value="2" />
<setting id="Channel_69_rule_1_id" value="14" />
<setting id="Channel_69_rule_1_opt_1" value="Yes" />
<setting id="Channel_69_rule_2_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_69_rule_2_opt_1" value="TED" />
<setting id="Channel_69_changed" value="True" />

The directory is full of strm files that link to the TED plugin (as scraped by My.Library).

Image

An example strm file's contents.

Code:
plugin://plugin.video.ted.talks/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FTedtalksHD%2F%7E3%2FSnHYDxt6KsA%2Fa_sense_of_humor_about_afghanistan_an_artist_shows_how.html&mode=playVideo&icon=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.ted.com%2Fimages%2Fted%2F825ae58b3e52210ed020b873f2bd72d53054180c_132x99.jpg

Here is the log output. Two things to point out in this log is the presence of "Include IceLibrary Streams" and "No parser found for extension .strm"

There was a plugin that added ice favorites to your library, last I checked it was broken. You could use my library like spanktastic suggested(need an XML file to scrape it). Another alternative is 1channel which has an add to library function.

Hello.
Can somebody tell me where can i modify the dialog "coming up next"? I am trying to add the logo or clearart. I have made it in the seekbar and info dialog, but i cant find the item "coming up next".
Thank you


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - EZ1976 - 2012-08-19

hey
i have a question. i am using the transparency skin but since the PTV doesnt look nice, i removed the 3 pseudotv files in the skin directory.
now it has a light blue background.

but if i use the default xbmc skin, the info and epg see-through appearance is very nice.
do you know where is the files in the default skin i can grab and throw them in the transparency folder?
thanks

I'm not familiar with clearart, but i also modified the notification area.
In confluence, you have a "DialogKaiToast.xml" This is the base of the info message. To change what pseudotv sends to it, you must edit the section "notificationAction" in "Overlay.py" (found in "addons\script.pseudotv\resources\lib\") starting around line 800.

hey guys got a few questions...

1) Is there any way to get a Directory channel to play in order? I have a lot of sporting events named like this..

2012-04-22-Sporting_Event_Name.avi
2012-05-14-Sporting_Event_Name.avi
2012-05-29-Sporting_Event_Name.avi

and I'd like them to play in order but no matter what I select its always random. An option to have them sort by title or file creation date would be great.

2) In the guide channel numbers above 99 show up as just "..." Am I doing something wrong or did I run into a weird bug?

3) I have several channels that play a bunch of very small files thare are 3 to 5 minutes long on average. My music video channel is a good example. Because of how short the videos are the description gets trunctated down to "..." and all the small "episodes" makes PseudoTV a little choppy whenever these channels are on the guide. Is there any way to have a better naming convention? I'd love an option to replace the channel content with just a general descriptin like "Music Videos" showing up as one episode spanning the whole channel.

Yeah that would be great, then my UFC folder can play in order!

RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - Merc33 - 2012-08-20

How do I make Simple Range Compressor to be minimized upon startup? It seems like the program is NOT an actual installed program and making a Shortcut link and making the Link file startup up as minimized is not possible. I followed other suggested steps but the Simple Range program seems to already be a Linked file and i cant make that as a minimized shortcut either. Any sugesstions?
