Yeah, things got beyond hectic last weekend and time just wasn't there. If anything, I'll probably end up releasing a quick, no-frills version that will scan the database and inject a streamdetails table if one isn't found until I can get enough time together to finish updating my old media manager. I try to separate the GUI code from the backend code whenever I code a program so if I can find an interruption-free weekend it shouldn't take very long but there's a lot of GUI stuff to do.
I still have the Confluence skin to complete, 85% complete, and I've started skinning the Forum Browser addon on top of that so my to-do list is pretty well booked for the foreseeable future.

There was a day, back when we had 3 channels and maybe a couple fuzzy uhf channels, the networks did not put a bug on the programs. One of the reasons for my wanting to use this and an HTPC in general, is to get away from the intrusive lengths the networks are now going through to annoy us viewers. And now I guess some of us have gotten so used to the annoying bugs, that we miss them and want them even when we could not have them. Like I said, to each his own. But please, please make this a selectable option or better yet, make two versions of PseudoTV, one with bugs and one without. There will be no bugs for me! </RANT OFF>

Wow dude, someone needs to remember to take his medication...if you would have happened to try it out before ranting you'd had seen there was already an option to disable it. In fact it came disabled by default. No need to fly off the handle. All of these 'extra options' are exactly that - options. Nothing is being forced upon the user.
Seriously though, it was requested by another user and it was a feature that was extremely simple to implement. It thought it was a cool visual thing but will most likely not even use it myself.

There was a bit of a bug I found after uploading it. Being set in the setShowInfo method, if the user has disabled Show info when channel is changed the logo will not appear. The call to set it will probably have to occur in the setChannel method or showInfo method instead.
