Since the start of using ptv i have an issue which i think is very strange. So far i have found a few hints on what the problem might be. My issue right now is:
When program my channels and lets say put in a plugin like dumpert (dutch video plugin) or worldstar hiphop plugin which both use short videos as content. The ptv epg tends to set a 60 minute block for each video. This results in the constant looping of a video with a runtime of 5 min. So it loops the 5min vid for 60 minutes. This is not what i want and i cant understand why ptv doesnt see this. I set short videos setting to OFF. The only plugin that works is vice which usually has long vids but also the shorter vids are STACKED and played after eachother in stead of looped. I think this has to do with the way the plugin puts out the video lenght in nfo format or something and sends the correct runtime to ptv
Hints i found:
- runtime isnt correctly given by the plugin
- ptv doesnt support my plugins.
Anyone knows a solution?
Ita maybe possible to make a playlist for the vids in my plugin and add it to the channel epg. But this is a weird workaround and i cant even add plugins to a smart playlist.
Is it me or is this a huge overlooked problem. Pls help asap
Cheers
Sounds like you need to contact the developers of the video plugins, ask that they included accurate duration information with their list items.
Runtime can't be faked... PTVL needs to know how long an episode might be....
As for smartplaylists, Kodi only supports media from its database.

The videos in question end up being excluded from PTV channels while they can be played from within Kodi library. What can I do to help solve this?

I've mentioned before that artwork never loads for local media TV Shows (information bar and EPG) and others have had the same issue. Kodi and extendedInfo.Script have no problem but it gives PTVL a hernia.

Guidedata is a donor only feature now. Are you a donor? Also, I took a look at your log file, and your ptvlguide file looks like it's a zip when it should be an xml file.
Edit: Since you're using windows, I tried to duplicate your guidedata failure on my windows PC ( I use Linux for Kodi) and I got the same problem. Works well on my Linux computer though, you should post your log file in the bug section if you're a donor having this problem.

Can't remember from which version and over this has changed
Hope it helps
