I know I need to get you logs but wanted to point out that the latest update has caused PseudoTV to crash near the end of playback of an episode (shows an informational pop up stating that it has failed). Episode is able to finish playing but then a new blue splash screen appears stating that "you are watching TBS..." for example and gets stuck there. I have to force quit Kodi as there seems to be no way to get out of that splash screen. Note that I have all the extra little bells and whistles turned off.

What would be running in background at the 20 second mark for PTVL related services in these newer versions, if you start playing local media direct from Kodi, or simply playing a Kodi radio station?
Ive turned off all overlays, etc, and still with PTVL enabled, most repeatable symptom is just playing a radio station direct from Kodi, with PTVL enabled, once the initial station song/info disappears, after 20 seconds, it pops back up and flickers on/off until you clear it with back, etc. Then 20 seconds later same thing. But then I into PTVL settings and disable it, go back to Kodi and play that radio station, and no issues.
Is there something new with the next up service, or whatever "Live Logos" is, that would be messing with the regular UI outside of PTVL?

I saw there was an update with 9e, and that fixed the issues i was having with local media playlists, and all my channel logos reappeared today as well and it's grabbing new ones immediately on the config screen and in the epg when adding new channels, so I'm back in business now.
Thanks again for all your efforts with this!

Hello, I have been testing the addon but it seems it uses like 12gigs of ram out of 16 from the system and everything becomes slow after that, am l the only one facing this?
Also, l have tried to use different processor settings in the app but no change.

Has anyone ever encountered a weird behavior where PTVL causes stuttering/refresh rate strangeness horizontally across Kodi? Just curious if this is a known issue.
After one of the recent-ish updates to the add-on (I can't place exactly which one, but within the last week and 1/2 certainly), I started to notice weirdness with video playback. I would have a sort of almost 'rhythmic' stutter, where every two seconds or so, the video would jump back a fraction of a second. Audio would play uninterrupted, so it was almost like the video was re-syncing with the audio. This happened when playing high-quality video on a PTVL channel as well as just playing that media in Kodi directly, but seemed to be less common (maybe nonexistent?) on old SD content. In fact, if I had any of that problematic media playing but paused, I would ALSO see Kodi's OSD flickering/blinking at pretty much the same frequency of every couple seconds. But with media stopped, the regular menu was normal.
It was similar to something I used to encounter with YouTube playback in the browser, which I remembered fixing by disabling the browser's hardware acceleration flag, so I disabled hardware acceleration in Kodi to try to see if that would help but no dice. After trying a couple other things, I went ahead and uninstalled PTVL as it was one of the only recent changes I could think of, and the problem completely went away.
Is it possible PTVL has some background process which runs constantly and could be causing this?
