Quick question, I can't seem to find any info on this. For all my channels no matter whether it's a 3 hour movie or 15 minute show they all appear as 1 hour long in the epg. Is this normal??

No this is not normal, either your media is encoded with incorrect run times or your xbmc scrape incorrect info. Search fourm for how to fix.

All my media seems to be scraped correctly with the correct run times. The plugins i'm using are gomovies and gotv which pulls data from various sources before selecting a stream source. I'm not sure how pseudotv handles everything back end so i'm assuming that it's not receiving any run times from the plugin and defaulting? Is there any solution to this that will make it use the run times from the library info?

Are you using strms or direct plugin building?

So, that Reddit channel modification I was working on:

I've hit a bit of a wall and was wondering if anyone might have any ideas?

I can easily get a list of YouTube videos for the channel, but XBMC needs the duration of each video, which is a problem.

I can use Youtube's API to get the duration details, but I have to make a request for each video. After about 100 requests the API starts refusing to answer because the script hits Youtube's API's quota. It also means that any further request (even for other youtube channels) will get refused as well.

There's a way to do batch requests, but that requires a developer key.. which means that all of PseudoTV's users will be on the same quota. That can't be good?

I could restrict the video limit... but, even then, if you were to refresh the channel list twice in quick succession everything would stop working since the quote would get hit -- which would end up confusing a lot of people.

Of course, the modification works great for me since I'm the only person using it and know what's up. But, I'd rather be able to get the modification added .

Anyone have any ideas?

Duration is available from youtube. Review my youtube code to learn how.
