I'm working on setting it up currently with mixed success. It seems that some streams have trouble connecting and I get the "waiting" dialog forever (happens with some various streams including ustvnow ones). Eventually if I try to escape it XBMC locks up and I am forced to use a killall command.
My question (or request) is whether there is any option to revert to a default channel if a stream does not connect within a set period of time. I can't seem to see any setting that would do the trick.
With the inherent unreliability of internet streams it would really enhance usability if after 60 seconds or so, if a stream did not connect then the channel would reset to a preferred channel (likely a local files channel which would never have the streaming problem). This would help mitigate any problems caused by "waiting" loops.
USTVnow is usually pretty reliable,
In general you should always use links that work.... PseudoTV Live has some failsafes to avoid using bad links, but the problem still remains if a bad link gets through the XBMC player which handles playing all media doesn't really have a lot of ways to redirect or cancel something playing until the video fails to play.
You can help if you provide me with a link that gets passed my checks, but always fails to play...
Thanks
I'm at work right now so I can't really test any links. But earlier I was having trouble with the My9 and PBS feeds from USTVnow. I tried those same channels on the USTVnow website and they were also not loading there. Last night I was also having problems but I think it was with different feeds.
I guess part of my main concern is that live streams tend to go down from time to time, whether it is for maintenance, due to an error, or just as a matter of regular schedule. It would be good if there was some way to exclude those streams from messing up the whole addon. Then again, it may just be problems I'm having on my end and not a widespread issue.
