I was incorrect

It happens. I've been wrong plenty of times!

Not sure how to describe this next thing I'm noticing so please bear with me. Have already uploaded logs and the behavior was present there too but I disregarded it in favor of trying to track down the reason why the program was randomly ending itself. I've been having a fairly good run this time though, since I disabled plugin channels so I will be trying to track that down from there later on by disabling video plugins one at a time until I find out which one seems to be a trigger.

Now for the behavior...

I tune to a channel and the program displays a info header about the show playing, after a few moments it disappears unless caused to reappear by pressing the info button. My show will play until maybe about three quarters finished and then a seemingly random popup window will appear with a "." in the info box. The show will end and a commercial from local directory will play. An info box will again display while the commercial is playing, telling me info about the next show. Several seconds later the show itself will start, without any info box displaying.

This behavior also occurs with trailers and with station ids. Can be very annoying with trailers as sometimes they will display far longer than usual seeming and will 'hold me there stuck' because I cannot usually change channels until the info box goes away. Is this considered standard behavior?

Examples:

The . On second glance it appears the dot is a single "


Infobox displaying early--in this case during the commercial


Another example of an empty box, this one displaying over a trailer



If it is considered standard behavior, I'm inclined to make another feature request--this time asking if it would be possible to optionally disable the info box unless specifically called by the user changing channels or selecting the info button. Maybe creating an exception for music video channels, as that'd be a situation where I could see the user wishing to see the name of the artists and any information about the song?

Would appreciate knowing if I'm the only one with these issues or if others are also experiencing them. Am willing to post a log (in which case I'll copy this post and paste it in the bugs thread.) but I don't know that anything has really changed between my last log posted. Also the skin I am using within PseudoTV Live is Sky and the theme I am using in Kodi is Quartz.

EDIT: One more question, regarding the way PseudoTV Live handles the donor settings. Is it normal for the donor page to 'lose' the download logos options and the autotune options to grey out donor options unless I specifically activate my donor status before going on to autotune? The username and password are still in the box, but it doesn't seem to be taking effect unless I reconfirm my status.

The reason I ask is it occurs to me that it could be the reason I'm getting the sudden shutdown of the program after it has been running for a while could be the time out on my activation status causing the donor only streams to malfunction.
