Interleaved channels the same way u would a normal channel

Guess I have some reading to do... Like I said, I'm new to PseudoTV in general. Thanks again.

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.

thanks Luna,
any idea about the donor feature that crashing while trying to get channel configuration?

Yeah problem isn't with unicode... its a very easy fix, and will be included with my next release.. maybe tonight.

Sometimes I break something while adding new features; comes with the risk of using master code... I'm completely rewriting a lot of LiveTV code for better error handling and enhanced art and information from TVDB/IMDB/TMDB.

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.

Follow second post instructions and use pvr:// source...

I tried this over and over and over again...but with nextpvr (and no luck at all). I changed my backend to Media Portal and figured I would give it a shot.

So you are manually adding ustvnow links using your own xmltv file? and if you use ustvnow's xmltv files you get the wrong guide data?

Are you sure you configured the xmltv file correctly and the _1 value id matches the channel ids found in your xmltv file?
Hi Luna,
That's right.
Under the previous build, if I autotune for USTVNow, don't touch anything and leave PTVL to do it's stuff at the start-up, all the channels work but for some reason I get the wrong guide data. If I edit the setting2.xml file and point my own XMLTV File, all the channels still work and I get the correct guide data too. So everything seems to be configured correctly under that build.
So I saved a copy of the Setting2.xm file before, deleting this build completely from my system and did a clean install of the latest build, thinking it would be a simple case of copy/pasting that data from my own previous setting.xml file into the new one created, but all I get is just a black screen. Same result as well if I autotune in the latest build, not touching anything and using the USTVNow xmltv file, I get the black screen again.
Hope the explanation makes sense of what's happening and the results I'm getting. Don't know, I set things up in exactly the same way under the latest build as to what I did under the previous one, just getting a very different result. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Smile

The log indicates something wrong with your xmltv file... Read through the forum I've tried to help others narrow down problems related to xmltv.

Cheers, had a read through but couldn't really identify what might be the cause. In the end, taken the drastic action of un-installing XBMC and the profile folder, so now have a completely clean install of XBMC + Nox skin with generic plugins + You Tube + USTVNow + PTVL. Opened PTVL, haven't added location of my XMLTV file. On the first run, opens fine with the generic 4 channels. Then opened the settings, enabled autotune and find USTVNow and got the black screen....Ekk! Sad Must admit, even I wasn't expecting that to happen....So really have no idea now.

I'm putting together a skin and its working pretty well but how can i pull current channel # / Name and put it on the info window?

look in my default skin I made a label for it... I think id number 300... don't remember...
if it doesn't work let me now.. its a old label, from my first fork attempt, maybe outdated...

also please keep me updated on your skin Smile

Going to push enhanced LiveTV changes... art wasn't added yet.

Changes include, Season/Episode lookups, Episode name and overview info... most important is tvdb/imdb id's which is need for fetching artwork.

After enabling tvdb/tmdb and entering your api info, please click force rebuild to create new playlists...

This will begin the process of scraping tvdb/tmdb for info... process may take awhile depending on the length of time grabbed by xmltv data... I recommend 3 days max!!

After praising you should not have to rebuild Live TV until your xmltv data runs out... Please Logs!! if you encounter any problems...

Feedback would be appreciated...

Thanks

First I need to say that I really love this.

Now, as YouTube has really messed up everything recently with Google+, the plugin does not get your channel subscriptions, so the pseudo channel for subscriptions doesn't work.

I have found out a temporary workaround on this issue page (of the plug-in), the solution is to edit YouTubeFeeds.py on the YouTube plugin folder

find this line:
Code:
urls['subscriptions'] = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/%s/subscriptions"

change "%s" to your old username
Code:
urls['subscriptions'] = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/exampleusername/subscriptions"

on the plugin and on the channel put that same username. I hope it helps someone.

Thanks for the info but I don't think this applies to PTVL... Chtype 10 uses YouTube's API to build playlists and only references the YouTube xbmc add on to play the video id...

Sorry if it is the wrong place to post, I'm not very familiar with this. I posted for anyone who was looking how to make that type of channel to work, but it is clearly an issue of the YT Plugin.

Also, I'm a native spanish speaker, I could help with translation if you need it.

It's no problem... just didn't see the connection with my plugin Smile

cool dude, thank you for your hard work!
Hi,

First let me say what a tremendous job you have done on this and I am really looking forward to using it but I am hoping you can help me with a problem I am having with trying to set up my live tv with my HDHomerun Dual Tuner. When I first launched PTVL it added the 4 streaming stations and works great. I then added a number of custom playlists which also works great. I am now trying to add my live tv channels as per your example on page 1 however I run into the blank page issue. I have followed the example and read through this entire post at least a half dozen times trying to compare examples and my syntax appears good but I still am unable to get past the blank screen when I try to add a channel. Here is what I am adding to my setting2.xml file:

<setting id="Channel_20_type" value="8" />
<setting id="Channel_20_1" value="I16689.labs.zap2it.com" />
<setting id="Channel_20_2" value="hdhomerun://103AC965-0/tuner0?channel=8vsb:587000000&program=1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_3" value="xmltv" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_changed" value="True" />
<setting id="Channel_20_time" value="0" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rule_1_opt_1" value="WCBSDT" />

The channel id for the epg is correct as is the 587000000&program=1. The remainder of lines are just a copy of your example. The xmltv.xml file is located in my /storage folder which I added to the settings and is in the "ISO-8859-1" format. I appreciate any debugging help you can provide. I have included my settings2.xml and xbmc.log files below.

http://pastebin.com/WsqK6TBV <- setting2.xml file
http://pastebin.com/KQ790sx3 <- log file

Thanks
