log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=198939



thanks

btw: tried also with 2 media files under super favorites and its working great...

categories isnt a media plugin... This will only work with video plugins and maybe a few music ones...

I meant categories inside media plugin, for example "some banned plugin" - > movies - > genre - > animation, under the animation category there are video files....

Is this a bug or just a conflict between PTVL and Tvheadend?

Here's my xmltv.xml entry for Larry King (generated with mc2xml):

Code:

<programme start="20140511160000 +0000" stop="20140511163000 +0000" channel="I32647.labs.zap2it.com">
    <title lang="en">Larry King Special Report</title>
    <desc lang="en">Larry King investigates Omega XL, the ultimate all natural solution for pain and inflammation.</desc>
    <category lang="en">Consumer</category>
    <category lang="en">Paid Programming</category>
    <episode-num system="dd_progid">SH01748337.0000</episode-num>
    <previously-shown />
  </programme>

Note that start="20140511160000, which means the xmltv file shows it starting today at 1600.

BUT, the Tvheadend EPG reads the same xmltv file and shows it starting at 1330:


And in XBMC, it also loads correctly:


PTVL's EPG shows it starting at 1600, but when I click on what's playing now (at 1340) I get Larry King.


So if I do a time offset in mc2xml to fix PTVL programming, then Tvheadend will get messed up and I won't be able to record any shows. Any Tvheadend users run into this?

Is there any way to offset time in PTVL for Live TV?

Anytime EPG is out of sync, you need to check if your tvlistings (xmltv) was updated.
Then force a channel reset under settings, to reengage sync.

Yes,under settings,visual,disable show info when changing channels

How can I do the opposite? Keep PTVL information overlay and disable the other one? I'm seeing two overlays almost everytime I change channels

Which xbmc skin u use?

Maximinimalism.

I've added a reddit channel using the Direct Plugin Chtype.

I'm sure there's a way to do this via RSS but I don't think it has as much options as the plugin.

Huh, funny that.

*I* just wrote a modification that adds Reddit channels that uses the .rss feeds
[...]

I've almost got it all working... still working out a few edge cases with scrapping the data...

Share your modification when it's finished... I could add it to my fork.

Yes please

Did you install all the addons required? I had that same error until I installed all the addons in OP

[ADHDMedia]

Anyone know if PTVL will work with XBMC on the new Fire TV? I just got one and I'm installing XBMC right now.

[dnalloheoj]

I did. All the dependencies as well as the optional plugins and interface addons. Gonna double check the versions and that they all run correctly themselves.

Edit: Should the script.modules show up in any of your addon categories? (requests, beautifulsoup, feedparser, downloader, json)

If not, maybe that's indicative of my issue?

Ah, In that case... Its going to be hit or miss... some plugins will work great. Others won't work at all.

I just bought one. I plan on adding as much support as possible. I will also try and integrate hulu.

Damn you're good! I had PTVL pointing at a schedules direct xmltv file I downloaded yesterday, like a dummy. Pointed it to the new one that my cron job downloaded today, and now everything works.

Thanks for the second set of eyes! I'll send another donation after the next update. Cheers!

This problem with "PIL" missing, may be a bigger issue then I thought...
I plan on implementing a lot of enhanced gui stuff which depends on this library... seems that some builds of XBMC are leaving it out... or using a build of python which doesn't include it...
