For anyone having problems with my latest master, please use this older build. It does not include newer tvdb/tmdb features but it's stable. Remember to disable tvdb/tmdb settings!!
https://github.com/Lunatixz/script.pseud...a53231.zip

master is unstable and not fully tested yet... so please try to refrain from using until I could fully test my changes.
thanks

Thanks Luna. Latest master was causing me black screen problems again. I am sure you will get it worked out. Thanks for all the work. By the way I use the same grabber as Grbspltt.

Thanks, it's not a major problem, simple one kinda...
but i'm not sure what is triggering it, on my end everything runs great!! which mean I need logs...
every time you run the latest master and get a black screen I need users to send me their logs...

Hi, I have installed XBMC And PseudoTV LIVE on my Acer Revo. I have to say I'm really impressed with the plugin. But I am totally new to this. I configured a few channels. A comedy channel. Action movies etc and also created an XSD file to only display movies released in 2013.

What I was wondering was if it is possible to integrate the channels from The TVCATCHUP addon into PseudoTV. I have tried reading this thread and it seems like it may be possible by extracting the .strm file from the TVCatchup config and adding it to the .XSD file but I am not entirely sure how to do this?

On another note one channel I also want to make is a PILOT channel that plays all the S01E01 episodes from every show. Do u think this is possible?

I will try to get you one. It is odd that the latest master git black screened on a live tv channel which usually means xmltv issues I think, but the one you posted for those having problems had no problem loading the same channels.

I'm currently rewriting a lot of Livetv code, to update it for artwork , added info and epg genre coloring... So it might break... but the error coming up in current logs has to do with string encoding which I fixed?
My latest git is working great for me... So more logs = more chances of catching bad code!

Very Rough EPG Color preview!!

Nicely done. I was going to ask you about this a few days ago. Will the color scheme be from images or from code?

code, skin doesn't handle it...

I'm using xbmc's suggested "LiveTV" genre colors, i'm not picking colors out of the blue.

and its seems that when the PTVL is loading the channels and get timeout.
needless to say ive deployed the USTVNOW plugin according to page 1 and from the plugin itself its working fine.
ive noticed that when im using USTVNOW plugin directly, sometimes the channel takes time to load, so maybe the PTVL timeout is too short? just a guess.

Not entirely unrelated, but, does anyone use a second XMLTV Grabber in conjunction with MC2XML? I'm looking at the -easiest- way to pull US listings from my SD account generate a truncated (3 day) xmltv and merge it with a 2nd xmltv file from a second location for additonal EPG data.

First utility i've found doesn't allow a truncated listing pull.. so PTVL would take forever to parse the enormous XLMTV file, not ideal.

Sorry to go OFF topic, but this really is a question surrounding PTVL's EPG function and how/where to pull the XMLTV files from.

Thanks!

Just so u know ptvl is setup to use more than one xmltv file... So u don't have to merge...

As for 3 day limit most grabbers offer some type of configuration for days grabbed.

I don't know if you will find this helpful or not Luna, but I hope so. Following your advice I opened PTVL configuration to disable TMDB although I did not think it was enabled. In fact TMDB was not ticked but when I attempted to open PTVL, after leaving the configuration menu, it opened fine.
