0.6.1bravo seems to have fixed the issue with the EPG.

Let me be the first to say there are going to be A LOT OF HAPPY PEOPLE because of the channel renumbering feature. Nice work, my initial testing says it works as advertised.

BTW I don't know if anyone ever reported it, but the advanced channel rule that allows you to rename the channel seems to toss an extra space in the value. Which causes your channel icon to fail to load. I can't imagine someone hasn't said something... either that or its the way I'm using my remote.

Here's an example

Code:

<setting id="Channel_225_rule_2_opt_1" value=" NATGEO" />

The extra space in the value will prevent natgeo.png from loading in the EPG.


Otherwise PTVL is really turning into something pretty awesome. I ran it for almost a week without ever shutting it down. Lot's of OnDemand action and grabbing stuff from my library. No issues.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. I have a major update to the Maverick skin. When it's ready I'll push it to my Git and hit you with a PM.

peace @LuNaTiX,

thanks for this great add-on.

having trouble with the EPG and USTVNow.
I'm getting the error that:

Code:

Guide-data from ptvlguide is currently unavailable.

at first launch, i would get the error:

Code:

XMLTV Error: Improper Formatting

funny thing is, i could have sworn it was working -- just before the update.
not sure what all of this means.
thanks in advance for any help with this.

Do you have xmltv service enabled?
Try Misc/Clear system cache, then General/Force Channel Reset, Then re autotune ustvnow or verify each channel in the configuration manager.

Skin looks incredible!
As for channel naming, can you give me a list of chtypes effected?

I reported this a while back. The only channel types I use are TV Show, Movie Genre and Playlist and they all did that.

Yeah to be honest I think it does it anytime you set an advanced channel rule that renames the channel.

i think clearing the cache / channel resetting, did the trick.
things are coming up like before.

thanks!

That's been my experience.

Amen!! I have yet to try this feature, but I have wanted it for some time. I never requested it because I thought it too trivial. Damn fine addition Lunatixz!! Great work as usual!

" I ran it for almost a week without ever shutting it down."

WoW I wish I could just watch it and not have the urge to make more channels or tweek with somthing

Big thanks for the recent update, now I can let the ripped out hair grow back in. VERY much looking forward to the renumbering , eventhough my S2 is working, I like looking at neat clean code when i can and my S2 looks like a ransom note with all the editing Ill never have the organization to keep track of all the copies of copies of S2 i got parts of

Thanks again for the great program

That's probably because the ptvlguide file doesn't contain any EPG data for the channel you're adding.

So how do I know what channels ptvlguide supports is it based off network channels I already have in my library? And how would I go about getting a xmltv for a particular channel EPG ptvlguide Doesn't Support? Kinda new at open configurating the channels so any help would be appreciated thanks.

With the latest update, movie artwork is no longer displayed (default blank picture is shown). TV show artwork is fine. Using openelec helix, media on a samba shared nas. Artwork was displayed on previous version.

I'll post a log when I get a chance
