I too get this error message after I start the addon for the first time.
Why are there no valid channels?
Are the urls for the channels dead or something?
In what file are these urls anyway, and how do I add my own?

zepfan: There have been several problems related to background updating recently that I've worked on, some that I fixed yesterday. It's worth noting that at least part of what you're seeing is expected. If all channels need updating then it will only update a single channel and then start that channel. After it's playing, the rest of the channels will be loaded in the background and notifications will be shown as each becomes alive. This is my attempt to minimize startup times. I may need to have some initial notification on startup saying that channels are being loaded, just to make sure the user knows what's going on.
The second part of your message is something that may be broken, though. I've noticed that recent daily XBMC builds aren't good about sending a key press to only the addon, so you end up with things like escape key going to PseudoTV as well as whatever is in the background...and you end up with behavior that is undesired. If you're not using a new daily then we may need to look into the problem a bit more.

Noticed in the "Advanced Channel Rules" that you now have scheduling available? Is this now working and when will it be released? I have been looking forward to this feature ever since you said it was a goal of PseudoTV. Looking forward to trying it out.

It's not available yet, I'm working on it now. It will just be one of the available rules that you can add to a channel. As soon as I have something usable (or even partially usable) I'll be sure to update this thread so that everyone can test it out.

In an effort to streamline the options, I have a quick question for everyone: does anyone set the start mode to anything other than the default of Real-Time?

There are currently 3 settings, but I ask the question because I'm considering eliminating the setting all together and forcing real-time mode. Abe's post above says what the 3 settings do.
