I think everyone is gonna be real happy with the new possibilities the API keys and dynamic artwork improvements offer...my goal when I started working on PTV skins was to eventually reach the level of the WMC skin and I honestly think the new PTVL skins written with these enhancements in mind, are a huge leap over what was previously possible, and on the level of the WMC skin.
Thanks, but don't invest to much time on youtube or rss code, when i'm finished with my gui enhancements i'm planning on a complete rewrite..
Cool, sounds good. Definitely seemed like it was a work in progress, can't wait to see it reach full potential, let me know if you need help.
A lot of my code is a work in progress, I like to get it working (crude or not) and test it out... Then I will go back and clean code...

If you have other content it loads ok, just the channel that has the 'live tv' doesn't load or show in the EPG. I assume it has to do with how the playlist parses the time/dates of the xmltv.
Same behavior here, though if I only had the channel in question in the settings2.xml - then it black screened.
So only 1 channel with bad xmltv data triggered black screen?? It should prompt "unable to populate channel"... gotta remember to look into this!!
BTW I hope everyone is getting their API keys, enhanced LiveTV is getting better and ARYEZ is optimizing his skins to take advantage of the enhancements.
Also genre coloring for local TV media...
Just to piggy back on this...
I know that when I started working on PTV skins the goal was to make something that had the same feel as the WMC/set too box interface but with more style obviously...
The advent of API key/Dynamic art additions in the latest update is definitely one giant leap toward that. The new skins being written now that are designed to take advantage of those enhancements are significantly advanced over anything that was previously possible with PTVL and I think are finally on the level of the WMC/set top box guide interfaces.
