RSS Feeds without a "media:thumbnail" atttribute?

I fixed this on my end by performing the following modification -

Starting at line 2823 in ChannelList.py. I don't have generate strms/nfos on, this may bomb out if you have that enabled, figured I'd post this tip.

Without this TWiT.tv feeds, and others, which do not have the media_thumbnail attribute will not load.

Thanks, but don't invest to much time on youtube or rss code, when i'm finished with my gui enhancements i'm planning on a complete rewrite..

Cool, sounds good. Definitely seemed like it was a work in progress, can't wait to see it reach full potential, let me know if you need help.

Well the behavior on mine and I assume on Daavid's, it doesn't 'blackscreen' perse. The channel just doesn't populate. If you have other content it loads ok, just the channel that has the 'live tv' doesn't load or show in the EPG. I assume it has to do with how the playlist parses the time/dates of the xmltv.

Same behavior here, though if I only had the channel in question in the settings2.xml - then it black screened.

I think everyone is gonna be real happy with the new possibilities the API keys and dynamic artwork improvements offer...my goal when I started working on PTV skins was to eventually reach the level of the WMC skin and I honestly think the new PTVL skins written with these enhancements in mind, are a huge leap over what was previously possible, and on the level of the WMC skin.

A lot of my code is a work in progress, I like to get it working (crude or not) and test it out... Then I will go back and clean code...

So only 1 channel with bad xmltv data triggered black screen?? It should prompt "unable to populate channel"... gotta remember to look into this!!

BTW I hope everyone is getting their API keys, enhanced LiveTV is getting better and ARYEZ is optimizing his skins to take advantage of the enhancements.

Also genre coloring for local TV media...

I just want to see if that's just me before I start pulling logs...

Code:

/TVshows/Hell on Wheels/Season1
                       /Season2
                       /Season3/Mediafile.ext

I ask because I would like to add an option to download missing local art when its queued for display in the EPG or Overlay... Problem is making sure I save the file to the correct location...

I store mine in the same way with slightly different folder names.

I am not sure exactly what to expect here Luna. But here is my experience - when I enable tvdb, tvdb fanart and sickbeard and click force reset my epg for live tv takes a very long time to populate especially compared to when those are not ticked. In the epg the fanart works great on my local media but I am not seeing anything on live tv as far as fanart. All I see on live tv is the grey tv that has been there since I started using the addon. I do have api keys for tvdb, fanart.tv and tmdb but have not enabled the last two yet.
