Luna,

I'm having trouble parsing xmltv. PTVL attempts to load the xml file and the load config opens and closes leaving me with the black screen.

Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/TFmBFyTr

settings2.xml:

Code:

<setting id="Channel_1_type" value="8" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_1" value="NA_SD_CA04486:-_10743_5" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_2" value="F:\XBMC\PseudoTVLive\PseudoTVShared\strm\1005kswbdt.strm" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_3" value="xmltv" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_rulecount" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_time" value="164" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_changed" value="True" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_rule_1_id" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_1_rule_1_opt_1" value="Fox 5" />

I verified the name of the xmltv file, and the channel ID in the xmltv.xml file.

Is it possible to make "live tv channel value8" from pvr without creating xmltv file?

Good question. I would KILL to have live tv working but I've tried everything (via nextpvr) and nothing, nada, zilch

Hi Luna - Am a newbie to this forum, but gotta say this plugin is just ace!
Been following this thread for a while now, which is always great info and normally more than enough to sort out any of the issues I've come across upto now. However, one thing I was curious about was when I change channel, the time/temp/current weather always overlaps with the actual channel number, all be it for just a second or two, but I was wondering if their was a way for me to put that info in the opposite corner of the screen, ie on the left side, but keep the channel number on the right side? Dunno, prob in the greater scheme of things it might not seem that important to a lot of folk and maybe just a bit of mild irritation on my part. lol
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dumyat, I appreciate the feedback... as i'm sure you will agree features and stability issues take precedence over skinning issues.
All skinning issues will be addressed before final build.

Thanks

Its do-able. To move it just edit the skin (script.pseudotv.live.EPG) Change the posx values under weather and time, then edit the image (pstvBackground) so the circles line up. Or change the fade time, but I haven't figured it out.

Do you have sickbeard started? is it configured? because you have it enabled...

Good question. I would KILL to have live tv working but I've tried everything (via nextpvr) and nothing, nada, zilch

I finally did it with channel "type 8" and xmltv.The problem was the xmltvfile,when i made the right one everything works great.I use media portal backend not next pvr which didnt work for me.The only thing that annoys me is the slow changing channels but i think that is problem of the backend and not pseudo live tv.

Interesting. I think I may give it a try. Can you tell me exactly how you did it? And yes, I'm thinking it's probably the backend as when I use LiveTV through XBMC, it's pretty fricken slow.

I didn't notice that I had that setting turned on. Nevertheless, sickbeard is running and there is no change after disabling sickbeard integration.

Did you disable all tvdb/tmdb settings? its in beta so you really should try disabling anything that says (coming soon).
If after disabling you still have issues, send me a new log...

the xmltv itself constructed as utf-8 but you said in your post that xmltv should be only as ISO-8859-1.

2) I'm trying to use the donor strm automatic feature.
ive entered the username:pass configuration in PTVL, enabled auto-tune feature and when im trying click channel configuration XBMC is restarting.
no exception nor error in the log file on debug.
any idea?

thanks!

I would have to guess its the Hebrew characters found in your xmltv file. Support for encoding wasn't added yet.
