You may want to try a nightly and PTV, I think the "Latest Developement version". I think that will also give you up to 999 channels.
I would like to know if anyone is using PTV and a Frodo nightly and if the EPG slowness issue has been resolved to where it is usable.
I know the fix you're mentioning, and at least for me on the latest nightlies of everything, it does not fix the EPG slowdowns. Infact, it made the guide a bit slower.
This may not translate to Merc33's setup, since I'm using XBMC on a Raspberry Pi with a teeny 850Mhz of cpu cycles.
Essentially, with Eden, they depreciated the way that PTV was using in order to display the guide, and the XBMC devs pointed Jason towards a new function that they built for displaying on top of video. It does not seem tuned for this type of display, however.
Testing, and working together, I know there's a solution that's going to make it a crazy idea /not/ to install PseudoTV
Thanks for the info. Glad I am still with Dharma. My wife would never go for an EPG that craws.
I wish the devs would simply reinstate whatever it was they deprecated. They have to know that they have @#$%^ up the best plugin for XBMC, IMHO.
