On a different note, channels that are randomly named (instead of something convential like TedtalksDirector) are not showing up. What's wrong with this code?

<setting id="Channel_14_type" value="10" />
<setting id="Channel_14_1" value="HCOtK0i6Mus00" />
<setting id="Channel_14_2" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_14_changed" value="False" />
<setting id="Channel_14_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_14_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_14_rule_1_opt_1" value="MST3K" />

Trying to make this a channel:

As for projects I'm also going to incorporate xbmclibarary into auto tuning... To create channels directly from plugins... For ez setup....

This sounds awesome. Is this so far just an idea or have you had any success?

Auto tune already query json for TV, movies and music then builds channels off of that data, which is what xbmclibrary does. It query plugin directory's ... So it should work...

No support! But I did check it twice to make sure it would work.... From that log it sounds like u either enabled sick beard in ptvl settings. Or you're running an old version of ptvl that's missing sick
beard.py

[scilz]

This isn't a release or beta or testing release... this is just a bare bone preview

1. Download my ustvnow plugin found in first post.
2. Download this file https://www.dropbox.com/s/ii9y1s1rjkluo5...w-test.rar
3. Replace channellist.py with the one found in your addon folder
4. Settings2.xml includes sample for ustvnow... pay special attention to (<setting id="Channel_1_3" value="ustvnow" />) this is a new value that will allow PTVL to use multiple xmltv sources. In this case ustvnow.xml
5. place all other files in the same folder as your settings2.xml
6. run mc2xml, build your ustvnow.xml file... ustvnow.xml has to be in the same folder as your settings2.xml otherwise ptvl will not work...

This does not include any other new features or auto tuning... just allows ustvnow to run in PTVL

Official release will include this in autotuning and autobuild xmltv files...

No support for this patch... use and setup at your own accord! I know it works!!

i think you may have left out run ustvnoow.bat i was having problems then ran the bat now all seems good.

well i have the latest plugin, and there is no option for sickbeard, i have quadruple checked.... checked all 6 things there to check

i downloaded the plugin and re-installed/cleaned each time... same result, version is listed as 0.1.1

so i dug into the latest zip and made sure the one i was installing from had sickbeard. and it did, but it dosent install it for some reason.. so i re-installed the plugin manually....(dunno why it didnt work) then i got this....

"Texture manager unable to load file: C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.pseudotv.live-master\resources\images/ABC USTVNOW.png"

so i took off only show channel logo. same error, then i made "ABC USTVNOW.png" and then it threw another error (turns out had nothing to do with nothing)

ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [rtmpting3]

then i figured it out.... ustvnow had no login info, so i edited the settings.xml in resources folder for ustvnow plugin (ustvnow dosent even show up in xbmc) and put my email and password in.

bazinga!!!! now its awesome

oh and scliz for number 3 it goes in the ptv/resources/lib

[scilz]

it is awsome and ya i figured it out lol next task is add the pay chanels i have.

[Lunatixz]

I was planning on adding premium USTVnow support but their "development" team is really slow to respond... So I'm only going to offer their free service.

[scilz]

i can add them to ptvl myself but i have troubles with xmltv stuff lol

[Lunatixz]

i can add them to ptvl myself but i have troubles with xmltv stuff lol

I was going to add PVR support... Don't think you're adding that?

[scilz]

nah im just going to add them as strms.

[Lunatixz]

Also to mention I'm feature locking chtypes to 12 (music). Which is going to be the last one... All other features will just parse data and use the existing chtypes to build each channel. So if there is something you currently can't add to ptvl; speak up.

[scilz]

futubox add from fav's and autotune trailers/bumpers is what i would like to see.
and premium ustvnow lol but i will try to get that working on my end.
would like to say thank you again for all you have done i think alot off ppl been wanting this for a long time glad someone with the skill set got it done for us .

[scilz]

i just thought of something i have 3 syfy strms we all know how strms come and go would be great to have some kind of fallback if syfy strm 1 is offline it will try syfy2 ect. just a thought have no idea if it's possible
