Hi, it's me again

I've decided to give this plugin another try, now that my library is more populated with content.

I have a playlist called DVD-Movies that contains a list of movies available on my smb share. The movies were added to XBMC library, are accessible and playable. The playlist, when accessed from XBMC, returns 68 movies:

PHP Code:

07:48:31 T:140235266000832   DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory (special://profile/playlists/video/DVD-Movies.xsp)

But when I access this as a custom-playlist as a channel in PseudoTV Live (latest master), it returns no playable content:

Are playlists working? Is there some alternative way to playback this content?

Downloaded latest git and I want to mention some skins issues
1.Default skin: In live tv channels I can't see the artwork "poster" at the overlay screen.Only can see "landscape" at the epg screen.
2.Aurora skin:a)Same thing with default skin(poster...)
b)The "new" video window works when i press epg screen but it's too small and covers only the half of the "landscape" image.It would be great if it covers the whole image.
3.Concast skin:The "new" video window doesn't work .I can see only 'landscape" images.
General feature request:I would like to have an option the "video window"to be visible only in live channels(pvr backend)and the other local channels show the local artwork.I don't know if it's possible...
Thanks for the script Luna and keep up the good work

Yes I haven't had a chance to fix these issues as of yet. But the video window does work on my end from a fresh install. I'll hopefully have the dynamic art/video window overlap fixed within the next day or two. If your media is in 4:3 format it wont fill the window, just 16:9.

@Redkiller223 - First of all, awesome work on the concast skin, concast+live window could definitely fool someone I had cable. One thing I noticed is missing(?), the time seek bar, was this not possible?

I actually just updated last night to the newest master and seriously great work Luna. The EPG in general is significantly smoother and faster than it has ever been.

I'll look into the sizing issue of the video window as it relates to Aurora. I'm sure it's a simple fix of just increasing the dimensions to match the size of the dynamic artwork and hopefully will have some time this weekend to send a updated version to luna.

Question about the new HDHomerun strm autotune. What do I need to rename the strm files to to match what the xml file generates?

Using angrycamel's HomerunSTRM builder, I get a strm file that looks like this: 5.1 - KTLA-DT.strm

I'm using zap2xml to create my epg info which generates this for that channel:
<channel id="I19515.labs.zap2it.com">
<display-name>5.1 KTLADT</display-name>
<display-name>5.1</display-name>
<display-name>KTLADT</display-name>
</channel>
Which results with this in the settings2 file:
<setting id="Channel_117_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_117_time" value="1101" />
<setting id="Channel_117_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_117_2" value="X:\Files\tuner0\/5.1 - KTLA-DT.strm" />
<setting id="Channel_117_3" value="5.1 - KTLA-DT" />
<setting id="Channel_117_4" value="XMLTV DATA NOT FOUND" />
<setting id="Channel_117_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_117_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_117_rule_1_opt_1" value="5.1 - KTLA-DT LiveTV" />
<setting id="Channel_117_changed" value="False" />

I tried the zap2it id(which only changed the display name), and 5.1 KTLADT(which didn't show up as a channel). The only way I see this working is if I change the strm file name since the xml file is auto generated, am I going at this wrong?
Also, how is the order of these channels determined? The channels aren't in numerical or alphabetical order.

You're using a third party tool... I'm not responsible for how it names files. You will have to rename...

The strm name should be one of the display-names found in the xmltv. The official hdhomerun tool uses this naming format.

Regarding the concast skin not working, its a letter case issue

Pseudo tv installs the folder as concast but the addon looks for ConCast when it runs - "Error getting /storage/.xbmc/addons/script.pseudotv.live- master/resources/skins/ConCast". Maybe isnt an issue with windows but is it with openelec. Renaming folder to ConCast fixes issue.

Odd, I only remember using caps for the settings string not the code. I'll double check...

The strm name should be one of the display-names found in the xmltv. The official hdhomerun tool uses this naming format.

Ok, I tried using the hdhomerun tool and created a folder for the strm links(disabled a tuner so that there was only 1 link), this creates mismatched file names too(adds -HD to some channels). These strm files also causes PTVL/xbmc to crash, when the the ac strm files worked(no epg). I found another folder of strm files which loaded with the matching epg, somehow the links(to every one) was to a youtube visualization video(I felt like I was rickrolled)
Looks like I'll have to rename the strm files manually, or possibly try MC2XML. Any chance you plan on adding PVR backend guide info(WMC-PVR)?

Also, I am having the same problem as bigsteel99(sent a pm), downloaded from github(2-28 2pm)

[Lunatixz]

What problem are you experiencing with donor features? Just a prompt that tells you to try again? Or an actual problem with Features?

Yeah, your correct, it was a cap issue... my openelec folder was capped which is why it worked, git was lowercase.

This along with other issues will be fixed in my next update. Thanks

What problem are you experiencing with donor features? Just a prompt that tells you to try again? Or an actual problem with Features?

I get the error "Not all features installed, try again later". I don't see any new channels with either the Plug-in Channels/Popcorn Movies(enabled 1 at a time).
