youtube playlists don't show episode info on EPG
#1
not sure what's going on

this is my set up:
pseudotv live 0.0.8f
spmc 16.7.1
amazon fire tv / stick

have smart playlists that play great, show all movie and episode info

however, when i try to use youtube playlists, all it shows on the epg is the name of the channel i created

sometimes though, when i click on one of the youtube playlist channels, after it loads a video, when i bring up the epg again it will then show the list of videos on the playlist

not sure what's going on, any ideas? what other info can i provide

Youtube and internet content that falls below a minimum required duration are bundled ie. "Grouped" together under the channel name.

This is a performance restriction, and there is no way around it... basically for Kodi and most devices to draw a EPG control for all of the short programing blocks would slow the EPG to a crawl.

To avoid this; try building channels that contains content over 15mins each. Also the upcoming release of v.0.9.x improves on this function by carefully calculating per content length in order to provide you with the best interface.

BTW, The EPG and Overlay should still show you per show info; so even though the EPG groups together some youtube content, your info on currently playing and next show meta should be relevant.

P.S You can find answers using the Thread search feature, a lot of questions have been asked and answered before Smile

Sorry no ETA at the moment.... but I promise it will be worth the wait.
