RE: [FORK] "PseudoTV Live" w/ LiveTV, InternetTV and added Strm Support - Rastan - 2014-07-03 Hi Lunatixz, I mentioned that I was having trouble with my setup connected via SMB. I have a main machine which has all the media local and a PC downstairs which connects via SMB.The downstairs PC channels scan correctly but after 5 mins or so it XBMC randomly freezes. What is even stranger is that I notice the strain on my main machine upstairs as it starts lagging. I let PTVL run overnight downstairs hoping that it would clear up after hours of running. When I woke up the main PC serving the PC downstairs was totally unresponsive. Mouse pointer and all. The PC downstairs is not superfast, but it should be more than capable of running PTVL. The one upstairs is about twice as fast. I have never had any problems performance wise outside PTVL. The good news is that the PC upstairs has cached the artwork and now plays properly. BCT''s, interleaves and all I have a log HERE, hopefully you see something. Thankyou for everything you do and for taking PTV and transforming it far beyond the next level.

I have read of users doing that on an RPI and the Amazon FireTV and having a better experience. Beats the heck out of having to build the channels twice.

I dont think that would work for me because of the path names The PC upstairs has the files local J:\Movies Archive 1/Rio.2011.BRRip.720p/Rio.2011.BRRip.720p But downstairs connected via SMB would use smb://PCNAME-PC/Movies Archive 1/Rio.2011.BRRip.720p/Rio.2011.BRRip.720p If I just copied the folder over as suggested. The PC downstairs would not be able to find any of the media. The XBMC databases are in independent from each other. I hope that made sense...LOL RE: [FORK] "PseudoTV Live" w/ LiveTV, InternetTV and added Strm Support - bry - 2014-07-03 (2014-07-03, 18:11)Rastan Wrote:(2014-07-03, 17:53)bry- Wrote:(2014-07-03, 17:35)Rastan Wrote: Hi Lunatixz, I mentioned that I was having trouble with my setup connected via SMB.

I have read of users doing that on an RPI and the Amazon FireTV and having a better experience. Beats the heck out of having to build the channels twice. Yup, I use it to replace the paths for the settings2 file that I get from the main machine. I then do a force reset in PTVL to build the channels downstairs. Thats what I have always done from using the original PTV till now. I'm not too sure that there is any problem with that as the channels build and play fine. Its just the freezing issue. Its almost like the PC downstairs connected via SMB is requesting data until the PC upstairs gets overwhelmed. But I am no programmer so I am very likely talking out of my rear end..lol But the way I set up the PTVL files has always been the same and has always worked, so not too sure that is the problem. Streaming movies via SMB outside PTV in normal XBMC works flawlessly no matter what resolution. No dropped frames or freezing. I just hope there is something in the logs I posted shedding light.

I am just going to double check the playlists open on the SMB machine. The permissions for the folder are read only, like the rest. I have just changed it to full control to see if that helps. I will remove the channels you mentioned and test that now too Thanks for your time, and if it doesnt work like Arnie "I'll be back!" EDIT Wow!! ...Just wow!!! Bry... U the gat damn man! I just tried your suggestions and indeed it looks as though those channels you mentioned were the culprits. They must have got messed up when I added additional rules after editing it in notepad. It hasn't finished building the channels, but hasn't froze or crashed for a good 30 minutes. I will leave it running all night to be sure. You my friend are a star! EDIT 2 I may have jumped the gun a little. It crashed a few minutes after posting. I must have jinxed myself. At least I am on the right path now.

RE: [FORK] "PseudoTV Live" w/ LiveTV, InternetTV and added Strm Support - EZ1976 - 2014-07-03 Luna, i may be on to something that i think you should know. to continue my adventure and getting my channels to play i tried all sort of tests: * NFS & SMB * tried local database * tried a new mysql database. * tried an older PTVL so i created a new settings2.xml with only 2 TV genre. the israeli shows i have in XBMC where created manually by me so i created a tvshow.nfo and put <genre>Hebrew Shows</genre> then in settings2.xml i put tv genre -=> Hebrew Shows. but it seems that most of the channels couldnt populate this way. then i thought maybe its because i use 2 words in the genre so i replaced it to Hebrew_Shows - still nothing. then i remembered that NFS doesnt really like UTF-8 so i removed all the custom hebrew shows from the DB and rescraped it but this time using SMB only for the hebrew shows. this time all of my channels populated. the generic movies and TV shows that use built in xbmc genres or playlists worked. the custom channels (Hebrew Shows, Hebrew Oldies , Live music Shows) are in SMB. so it may be a combination of custom genre and NFS. i dont know if this means anything to you but if it does, it may indicate something that may be resolved in your code. and really thank you for all your patience. everyone here is more than happy to help. a real community Luna's ARMY **EDIT** i moved the same ptvl (Plugin and addon_data folder) to a gotham openelec and it started to freeze during population the same settings (same profile) is working under windows xbmc. another thing i noticed is that under openelec, a folder channel will build with only 5 out of 200 files and under windows i will get the full 200. are there soo many different issues between PTVL on windows and openelec?

I decided to run autotune without any alterations to see if it runs without freezing. It has been running for a few hours already without incident, I will leave it running overnight. If it is still fine in the morning I will know for sure it is something I added to the settings2. I can then tweak it bit by bit till I have it how I want it. Thanks for helping me identify the error, I would still be running around in circles |
