ijourneaux Wrote:I just installed PseudoTV and am intrigued with the possibilities. As installed, it created several channels but how do I prevent it from listing shows that are old? I would like the guide to be made up of recent shows (perhaps the last 2 or three weeks).I think you can only accomplish this with a smart playlist. This is what my playlist looks like that makes a channel that just runs stuff that has aired within the last two weeks:
Is there a guide to configuring rules for the channels? I figured out how to add and edit rules but I couldn't figure out two do what I want to accomplish.
Looks great!
Take Care
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Current TV</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="airdate" operator="inthelast">14 days</rule>
</smartplaylist>
So you can either paste that into a text file (the extension has to be .xsp though, not .txt) and save it to the playlists/video folder xbmc uses or just make it through the xbmc interface. I got some nice responses on twitter/tumblr about my previous post on some of the channels I use, and I *love* fiddling around with pseudotv so I hope to share some more of my channel ideas soon. I would also love to hear more about what others do that they think is out of the norm with it.
Jason: Editing the channel rule in the settings2.xml file makes the scheduling work but only once. If I ever rebuild the channels the scheduling doesnt occur anymore. I have to go and re-edit the file to add todays date in again.
Thanks to those discussing the dialogseekbar stuff, also. I had the info window turned off in pseudotv cause of that but now Ive hidden that and re-enabled the info window when changing channels. Very nice.
