Yes, you require an existing video library to use this script.
Another version up in stable-pre. This one updates the Night skin (thanks Steveb), adds spanish translation (thanks CyberXaz), and adds background updating.
The background updating is designed to work best with the real-time mode. In "real time" mode, what you see on the EPG will play at the time that's shown. Background updating makes sure you always have at least 5 days worth of information in the future. Basically, the channel information is constantly updated so that it will make sure the EPG is always correct, plus it will change up the playlist, cycle in anything new you've added to the library, etc. Presuming you watch PseudoTV once every 5 days or so, you should never really see the channels spend a long time updating on startup.
So, try it out and see if it works for you. As always, report any bugs that you see. I'm a bit scared there will be some bizarre multithreading bugs, but I haven't seen any on my systems yet so I'm at least hopeful.
