I only suggested it because I saw some channels doing the same as what xkudeki is getting with the new code. When I switched back the problem went away.
Quote:I really would like to know why everyone is playing around with the duration setting in channellist.py...
lets stabilize changes, and not circulate rouge code... whats the reason for going back to the old code?
All that was change was the order to which ptv gets its runtime data... nothing was removed...
The new code has problems where the EPG will just show one long, never-ending episode on a given channel. I had over 30 channels like that. It seems related to Jason's change in how runtime is determined. Since Jason isn't around to fix it the only option is to revert back. And I wouldn't call it rogue code.
For starters, I never thought this change in code was necessary... and left it out of my build...
what I mean by rouge is when users start changing code, to "fix" their problems... most of the time it's not a fix but a cover up... this change in runtime for example isn't fixing the problem with media and the epg... it's just covering up the problem... two major problems I see is poorly encoded media leading to duration problems, and incorrectly formatted nfo's....
