This may be a stupid question, can PsuedoTV pull through videos from Navi-X?

Well, let's see what we can come up with: I'm on Windows 7 x64.
I have several versions of XBMC in portable mode: v12.0, v12.2 and v13.0-ALPHA4 Git20130506-ddad03c. I've tried out PTV's current master and stable-pre with all of the above XBMC builds. Currently I'm on stable-pre on all of them.
Here's a zip that contains nfo files of videos that are and that aren't picked up by PTV, the relevant smart playlists, screenshots of their content via the library, the m3u channels generated by PTV and my channel settings xml files:

If anyone actually comes up with a log for the freeze issues they're seeing, I may fix those as well before submitting for Frodo. I'm hoping in the next week, or two as an outside estimate.

I have been able to recreate all but one of them, and I am hoping that someone here can help me out. I used to have a channel (lets say, channel 30) that would play five of my favorite shows in a specific order. These five shows are on channels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 - so I set up channel 30 to interlace these five channels, but I couldn't get the channel to show up at first. What I had to do in order to get the channel to show up is to set the channel to play the same tv show as channel 1, then interlaced 2, 3, 4, and 5 - and this allowed the channel to show up, but it's playing the shows in random order. For example, I get 2, 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, etc - when I want them to cycle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 over and over. Can someone help me with what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

If you still have issues with the guide lining up with what is playing then the runtimes of your videos are not accurate in xbmc.

The runtimes should all be fine. Previous to Frodo I had no issues and I scrape all details using XBMC. Data is stored in MYSQL and has been there for over 2 years.
It appears some episodes are showing at 30 minutes in the PTV guide but when I check the library, the actual runtime is only 21 minutes or so. I have no idea how it is getting its info or how it differs from how it use to work.

try deleting script.pseudotv in your userdata folder and then copy and paste the contents of the stable-pre into script.pseudotv in your addons folder, overwriting the files.

Try making an episode nfo for one of your episodes with a <runtime> tag with a value of something like 3 hours and then refresh it in your library and select the option to not ignore the local file. Rebuild that channel in PTV and if it takes up 3 hours in the epg then you know its a <runtime> issue. Im not sure exactly what xbmc uses when it shows runtime on the info dialog, but i know ive seen the values for <durationinseconds> and <runtime> which for some reason are different tags.
Im pretty sure, though not positive, that when you scrape from thetvdb the runtime will be whatever its listed as on that site, which could be 30 minutes even though without commercials an episode is 21 minutes. And the newer versions of PTV use the runtime stored by xbmc (which again may not be the value you see on the info dialog) before parsing the file for its runtime, i think its faster this way, im not a developer so i dont know why the change was made.

Hmmm.
I have just checked and it appears some shows have <runtime> in the details (simply says 30 minutes) where some files have <durationinseconds>. XBMC must have changed how it stores tags or whatever because I have only ever used XBMC to scrape details and create NFO files for the last 3 years.
Not sure why the change has been made either but I had no issues using the old method of getting the time. It would be great to have an option in the settings to use the old way or new way. The only "issue" I had was a slightly slow guide but I only have about 20 channels setup and no online channels so it was fine for me. The last thing I want to do is update all my 50,000 NFO files with the time.

Thanks for this, been trying to get this addon to work for ages but your suggestion worked for me.
Edit - whoops, premature excitement, it begun compiling channels and thats when I posted but once complete I had the black screen again.
