To clear things up, I already added strm validation a few updates ago... If you are running a strm (already verified outside PTVL that it works) and PTVL ignores it... enable debugging in PTVL settings and send me log. Please don't use the override! this overrides all error handling which leaves your system vulnerable to crashes. Also if you don't send me logs, I can't improve the error handling code!!

As for centralized source sharing, that never picked up steam, I already have a site... but no one ever adds to it...

IMO strm files aren't necessary, their only value is scraping into XBMC's library...
If you're using a strm file that isn't scraped then it's only remaining value is for redundancy (since you can put more then one link into one strm)...
Otherwise just open the strm with notepad and put that link directly into the settings2 file.

Lunatixz - I installed the master last night and again this afternoon to verify

streams are not displayed on initial setup.
1) Had to enable "Disable Stream Validation"
2) Launch PTVL - which enable the stream
3) disable "Disable Stream Validation"

The Stream stayed in the guide. also the stream file:

<setting id="Channel_901_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_901_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_901_2" value="smb://192.168.1.2/home/xbmc/Data/PseudoTv/Music/CapitalTV.strm" />
<setting id="Channel_901_3" value="Capital TV" />
<setting id="Channel_901_4" value="UK's No.1 Hit Music Station" />
<setting id="Channel_901_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_901_changed" value="False" />
<setting id="Channel_901_time" value="196" />
<setting id="Channel_901_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_901_rule_1_opt_1" value="Capital TV" />

did not work while the strean entry in systems2.xml did.


<setting id="Channel_902_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_902_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_902_2" value="rtmp://cdn-sov-2.musicradio.com:80/LiveVideo/Capital timeout=15" />
<setting id="Channel_902_3" value="Capital TV" />
<setting id="Channel_902_4" value="UK's No.1 Hit Music Station " />
<setting id="Channel_902_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_902_changed" value="False" />
<setting id="Channel_902_time" value="484113" />
<setting id="Channel_902_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_902_rule_1_opt_1" value="Capital TV" />

Just a small issue I wanted to report. The "Guide" is cutting off the top of the Title of the program you currently have highlighted.

And, the cut off is still there.

Hope this helps.
