I've actually been having the same problem and I do have the playlist set to 'Episodes'. Trying to play with a bit more now to see if I can narrow down why the channel isn't loading. I do see *a lot* of this in the logs:

Code:
16:41:52 T:2333993792 ERROR: close failed in file object destructor: 16:41:52 T:2333993792 ERROR: IOError 16:41:52 T:2333993792 ERROR: :

Why not post a log?

Still looking around but here's a log in the meantime:

You need to enable debugging in your log!

I really hope redhalo is taking note of this!

You mean enable debugging in the PseudoTV Live settings? I did that but don't see much extra logging. I can't upload another log right now because xbmclogs.com is accusing me of spamming, but I do think I found out what was causing my problem. For me, it was the call to calculating the duration of the episode:

Code:
dur = self.videoParser.getVideoLength(uni(match.group(1)).replace("\\\\", "\\"))

(in buildFileList in ChannelList.py)

That's what was causing the IOErrors I saw it looks like. If I comment that out (and just hardcode in 'dur = 10') then the TV channels start loading. Not sure what's causing issues with the call to getVideoLength, though.

EDIT: Looks like it's in the logic to mount the file onto a temporary mount point to get the duration (my files are shared over SMB). Digging deeper to find out exactly where.

You can dig as deep as you want, but I believe you're on a wild goose chase...

Your problem has nothing to do with that line of code... and more likely has something to do with your network share permissions... The log you sent me was useless as it was missing almost all relevant debug information.

You should consider re sending a log with debug information, rather then waste your time "digging" around the code...
I, along with many users use smb shares without a problem...

easy fix, my bad... lazy coding... I will update git later
::Update::
Try latest git or this updated file:

Has anyone notice a performance difference with the guide of PTLV recently. fro some reason my has slowdown since the last update about two days ago.

Just want to see if it is me. thanks.

I've actually noticed the opposite...it seems smoother since the latest update. In fact the "Hide short videos" slowdown seems corrected now as well. Im currently having an issue with the channel builder hanging on 90% but I'm fairly sure thats on my end...

**Lunatixz** · 2013-12-28, 15:02

How do you guys store trailers?

Is it in one collection folder? in same folder as matching movie? any special names to the trailers like "the movie - trailer.mkv"?

Feedback is required! As I finish up BCT's those details will determine what files get used...

**bry** · 2013-12-28, 15:08

movies\movie name (2013)\movie name (2013)-trailer.ext

(2013-12-28, 15:08)bry- Wrote: movies\movie name (2013)\movie name (2013)-trailer.ext

Is that a standard? I've noticed that format in ember...

Would it be safe to assume if you point the trailer folder setting to C:\Movies (your movie collection)
that you would want it to use every -trailer file found?

Daavid · (This post was last modified: 2013-12-28, 16:02 by Daavid.)

I don't store them anymore, I use online trailers
When I did store them I used the same convention though:
movies\movie name (2013)\movie name (2013)-trailer.ext

ThorC1138 · 2013-12-28, 16:13

I use the same trailer convention as the others above, and yes I would want it to use every -trailer file found in the folders. Would multiple sources be an issue, though, for those with several external drives with movie directory sources?

**Lunatixz** · (This post was last modified: 2013-12-28, 17:15 by Lunatixz.)

I have to completely start from scratch with BCT's! I assumed to much!! I don't use Bumpers, Commercials and trailers Sad

So this is what I came up with.

Bumpers will look in one folder, if a matching sub-directory (CBS) matches the PTVL Channel network (CBS) it will splice in some bumpers randomly depending on limits set.

Commercials will just be a folder filled with files that are commercials and splice into a channel at the end of each TV show; amount depending on limit set.

Trailers will look inside your folder (ie your movie collection folder) for files containing "-trailer" and randomly drop those in by limit set...

if you have any ideas, let me know now Smile

BTW there will be youtube/rss options for all BCT's

Daavid · 2013-12-28, 17:17

Sounds excellent. Online trailers as an option will be the icing on the cake.

yeah... not sure how i'm going to work that one in yet...

since this action is called before channels are built, I will have to make a special call to youtube to create a filelist then append that data...

::Update::
Gets even better xbmc json has a trailer request, to pull scraped youtube trailer information...

So trailers will have four options (local, youtube (local titles), youtube (user selected youtube channel), all of the above).
