because bct's won't add to playlist until a new m3u is created. and new m3u's are either made if force channel reset, or if the channel grows old and PTVL needs to add new media.
I'll add code to help bct's get added without a reset.
Yes, doing channel reset everytime after I make changes to settings.
But I'm happy to live with the work-around for this that I made.
Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but I have never liked the dynamic artwork option. it always made the EPG laggy so before the 4.6 update i always had it disabled. I use the default skin i think it looks cleanest. My issue not with the new update that with dynamic artwork disabled it overlays the cover art that should show up on the righthand side, on where the clear art logo is but when i enable dynamic artwork all art shows where it needs to be..
Hi, I installed it today, the main issue I am having is that it takes a long time to change channels and go through the EPG....it runs on an SSD and an i3 cpu, so I can't see why it's so slow...any advice on how to make it quicker?
hi
after the new version the channels populate fast but still get stuck on some of the channels.
this time it get stuck on channel genre from the list (although these are genre i created myself)
Hi Luna
it seems that in the new version, if it has issues to access the XBMC DB it will provide empty playlists.
i ran the channel build 3 times, each time different channels got with no media, only 1 or 2 and some got all the media

You're missing _4, which is why it's not working...
Thanks, that seemed to work. One last question....
What does the "_changed" id mean? For example...
<setting id="Channel_503_changed" value="False" />
If I set it to 'true', what happens?
Thanks

The only problematic thing for me is the artwork. PTVL no longer seems to use my local artwork anymore but instead downloads it. I have a lot of movies and shows so it will impact the EPG whilst browsing. When looking for artwork there is a 5-10 second pause. I noticed a user mentioning disabling dynamic artwork. I tried this and the EPG is very fast after, but there is no artwork at all.
So from what I have read in recent posts if I am understanding properly, with dynamic artwork enabled PTVL is supposed to use local artwork and if it is not found download from the internet? (Mine seems to be downloading all artwork from the internet)
With dynamic artwork disabled there is no artwork displayed?
[*] Background Artwork Cache Spooling and Downloader (Experimental). If Enabled, PseudoTV Live will spool the artwork cache for faster EPG response.
Please note that missing artwork will be downloaded to the artwork cache folder. You can disable download via "Find missing guide data"
My ....\cache\artwork folder should be empty, but there is already artwork in there that I already have. I am just puzzled to why it seems to be downloading all the artwork, when all artwork should already be available from my library.
If I may make a suggestion. How about when you set the Background Artwork Cache Spooling and Downloader to on all artwork is disabled (dynamic art disabled) until it has completed. This would mean that the guide will be fast at all times, even if the updater is not complete.
PTVL has been running for a few hours now and I have yet to be notified that it has completed the background artwork. Maybe the current method used will take a LOT longer for me since I have a freakishly big library.
Please correct me if I have got anything wrong and as always keep up the excellent work Luna and everyone else who has contributed. PTVL keeps getting better and better!
Edit:
I have just noticed background spooling occurs outside PTVL, It runs but an error comes up a few seconds later. Will post a log if this keeps occuring.
I have the same problem with my artwork. I just spent the last few days after work replacing artwork I didnt like with artwork I do like manually (poster, clearart, logos) and making sure I have a poster, clearart, and logo for all movies. Took me a nice long, long time going through 350 folders, haha. So when I started seeing artwork that I didnt personally choose, I knew something was up. Im using an altered version of Titian that uses clearart on the overlay and poster and logo on the EPG. Its downloading everything, and using nothing I already have. I reverted back to about a 2 month old PTVL (not home and cant check the version) and its back to loading my artwork correctly. I was going to do a fresh install of xbmc to see if it helped, but with others having some issues too, I might hold off (and I forgot I have to go to my newphews bday party today so I probably would have time anyway)
Are you saying that PTVL is downloading different cleararts then you had in your library? I ask because for me 4.6 isn't downloading anything but what it is doing is using the fanarts that I have in my folders rather than the landscapes like it is supposed to.
I'm just curious if you are getting cleararts like you want and the problem is just that you are getting the wrong cleararts or if you are getting fanarts like I am seeing.
Wow, thats weird. It was downloading all my cleararts (none from my library, they were all being downloaded....I would compare them).....but for the posters.... When I think about it, I was thinking something was wrong because the image would be all stretched and crammed in, and wouldnt even have the name of the movie. They were most likely fanarts crammed into the poster view. I dont download fanarts from fanart.tv. I never knew where people were using them.

I had this problem too. I use Titian, but when I was having trouble with it, I went back to default (what I used before Titian). I experienced exactly what you did. I figured I had messed with some settings since I have been messing with the skins....I guess not. Not sure what would cause this though

it's one of the ways PseudoTV keeps track of channels that need updating...
True would tell PseudoTV that the channel may need updating.

Sorry for 3 posts in a row. I have a question about info on skins. If I have dynamic artwork enabled and am in the EPG, can I put a "Time Remaining" or "Finish Time" on the EPG to show about the movie I have highlighted (for both the movie I am watching and for all other movies). Would be cool to know when a movie would end as I scroll through the EPG. Just curious if this is possible before I attempt because Ive never seen it in a skin. (I do have the movies play in RealTime not sure if it matters)
I don't want to come off as a nudge, but does anyone know how to have the guide show the correct show for my local time zone, with USTVnow channels? It's really frustrating when everything is off by 7 hours...
(2014-06-29, 23:34)planejumper Wrote: [ -> ]I don't know if this has been asked before, but how do I adjust the time offset in the EPG for USTVnow?
My guide is showing the USTVnow channels with the times as if I was in US East Coast time. My local time is 7 hours later than than that, so the guide is off by 7 hours for me. In the USTVnow plugin, the guide has the correct programming for the times displayed.
How do I set a time offset in the channel configuration, so the correct shows appear in the guide for my current local time?
