so do any of the scraper programs save it in this format yet as i use ember and it still grabs it in minutes?
will have to check about the audio / video stuff to see if it adds that now.

@Sranshaft: The skin looks great! I'm certainly not opposed to any assistance you're willing to provide.

I don't know if this helps anyone with the duration issues, but I've opted to remove the <duration> tag from my NFO files. XBMC reads it from the file anyway...and given the possibility of different actual durations from one copy of a movie to another, I prefer that over what the scraper grabs from its source.

Will it be possible to get the epg display to be more fluid/smoother when moving down or across?
I know that there's a lot of information loaded but it would be great if it felt like windows mce tv guide when scrolling through the epg.

@ryan03rr: Good tip on adding it to the home menu. My only suggestion would be to rename the plugin directory. After this is stable enough, I plan on adding it to the official repository, so the directory name will be script.PseudoTV. When I make releases this is also the directory name that I use. Only when downloading directly from the git repository is it different.
@Sranshaft: if you can get something like this working, that'd be great. The big issue that I ran into with this and the OSD is that I wouldn't be able to catch if the user pressed the Stop button.
@moontan77: I've been thinking about this for a while (even before the initial release) and I have a couple of ideas. I do want to look into helping the skinners before I mess with it, though, since any method I come up with may have to change to address the skinning accessibility issue. In other words, it'll come, but it may be a while.

@jason: You should be able to add a stop action to the info window. At least that was my train of thinking.

Ah, I understand...you're replacing my crapified channel numbers with a real info window. Yes, that could catch the Stop signal. I'm interested to see what you come up with.

I wanted a comedy channel with both Movie and TV. What's the correct way do setup?
1. Create a Random Movie playlist with Genre Comedy
2. Create a Random Episode playlist with Genre Comedy
3. Create a mixed playlist and point to both playlists
Thats how I did it atleast, I'm at work now, just curious if thats the correct way as it didn't work unless I had some error in it. By didn't work i meant the playlist in general not this script, thx....
