Yup, I was talking about pseudotv live. I had everything run through the process last night, and again tonight, when I started psuedotv, it started going through and updating all the channels with the xml data. I stopped that process and ran mc2xml only grabbing 24 hours of data using the command:

Code:

./mc2xml -c us -g <zip> -s -1 -d 24

This shrunk the file significantly. I also disabled the 'find missing guide data', and restarted pseudotv, and it's still taking forever to start it up. Approximately 30 seconds to a minute per channel and there's about 70 channels. I'm guessing that it has to be something that I'm doing wrong because I can't imagine people waiting a half hour just to start pseudotv and watch tv everyday.

Does it normally take this long to start pseudotv? Are people using it with mc2xml and a pvr backend (mythtv)? Are they experiencing similar issues?

Thanks!

Shouldn't take that long... but it's not the fastest process.
what r your system specs? is you xmltv file over network or local?

The XMLTV is local on the hard drive of the box. PseudoTV is running on a Zotac HD-ID11 box, which is an Intel Atom D510 1.66 GHz Dual-Core with maybe like a gig of ram. I have it running on OpenElec as well. The scans that take the longest are the livetv XML part. I have mythtv-backend running on another box, but I really believe it is stalling on the XML parsing part. From what I can gather, it looks like it analyzes a channel, parses the program history, and then stores it in a m3u file. I agree with you, it shouldn't be taking this long...

While running the psuedotv parsing xml part, the CPU is pretty much at idle and not really waiting on anything. If I turn on debugging within pseudotv, does it log it to the xbmc.log file, or a different file?

Thanks

Not sure what your slowdown is... xmltv parsing is a slow process, but you should only notice it on first build. After that, it should load faster. For me with enhanced on it takes about 5 seconds per channel.

It wont let me update for some reason. It pops up that an update is available, I click OK, then it shows the download screen for about 2 seconds, during which time nothing happens. Then it pops up the 0.4.6 changelog. After clicking back to make the changelog go away, I have to restart XBMC in order to launch PseudoTV again.

I completely uninstalled it, including SSHing in and deleting the userdata for PTVL, then rebooted. Then installed the new master. It wanted to update still, but did the same thing. I turned on debugging, and then rebooted, and took this log after attempting to update it again.
