I noticed a little problem... The tv schedule shows the length of tv shows but as they are when they are aired with commercials... And all my content is without commercials.
How can I fix this problem? It's really annoying that I open channel 7 for example when supernatural is aired but the episode has already ended after 40 minutes.. (Pseudotv thinks that it's length is 60 minutes..)

I absolutely love the PTV addon, but I'm wondering at this point what the status of the script is in regards to keeping it current with XBMC official releases. I don't see a lot of recent posts from Jason, at least not not here in the forums, and Lunatixz with the PTL mod seems to have taken up the banner in regards to support for it, at least in the context of PTL.
PTV has made XBMC my cable killer, and I can't imagine my HTPC system without it, so if core development on it has ended and there will be no more updates, it would be good to know. Lunatixz, do you have any info as to what's going on, or Jason, if you're out there, could you give us an update as to where it stands?

I'm wondering is there any way to make bumpers-commercials play after a certain number of chapters rather than by the entire length of film-episode?
Example, watching an anime and it has 7 chapters the first being cold open, the second OP theme, the third act one, and so on... any way to make bumpers play after chapter one, etc? (MKV files)

My laptop died and I got a new one and got everything set up using PseudoTV 2.1.0 however on my Single TV shows channels like House, Dexter etc it just plays the same episode over and over. All other channels are working fine. Any ideas? (XBMC-PseudoTV-stable-pre.zip)
UPDATE:
Seem to be happening on all TV channels the TV guide will not go to next show however if I press I for infor it cycles through all shows etc but the guide is stuck on just the one show and will not let me watch anything else. Not a skin issue as I tried Aeon Nox and Confluence same issue.
Movie channels are fine btw.

I have been having a problem with the plug-in, it constantly gives me the error that it is unable to populate the default channels, and that I should check if my media has been properly scraped. I am running XBMC Frodo (the xbmcbuntu variant) and it has worked before, but now it mysteriously refuses to work. I have tried a number of things such as clearing the userdata folder for PTV, without any luck. Now the odd thing that I find with this is that it seems to not be able to read the scraped media metadata, which I know works perfectly as all the info is present when browsing TV Shows or Movies, or whenever I check when the next episode is going to be aired (that add-on is able to detect the metadata). But for some reason PTV cannot load the metadata, I tested this by creating two channels each for a specific show. The first I set the channel configuration to look for Adventure Time! and create a channel, the other was set to load Futurama's directory. Only the Futurama channel worked, and even then the information would be the file name rather than the metadata.
Now, I do have my media spread on two harddrives, but they work without a hitch on any other metadata requiring add-on except for PTV. I would really like some help, it's really the last piece of my XBMC to make it complete. I have browsed through the thread on any suggestions, but I haven't been able to find one that works, I am also using the latest development release of PTV.
Thank you in advance.

TV guide is messed up not sure if it is because of frodo 12.2
TV Guide
Movie 1 | Movie 2 | Movie 3
TVSHOW ---> doesn't show other shows
however if you watch a show it will change when done but the PseudoTV guide will not allow me to go to another TV show as it is stuck on the same one. I am not sure if this is due to frodo 12.2 or not. However doesn't seem to be a skin issue as it happens in all skins I tired.

does anyone know how to fix the TV guide? The only TV channel that works right in the guide allowing me to scroll through show is Milkman Turner channel and I have no idea why. It worked great on my old system before it died. Or did Jason change something?

Has anyone ever experienced certain episodes in the tv listing that are seemingly endless in length? They are always the same episodes and for some reason PseudoTV thinks its like 12 hours long when it's actually only an hour in length.
Thanks for any help.
