First let me say what a tremendous job you have done on this and I am really looking forward to using it but I am hoping you can help me with a problem I am having with trying to set up my live tv with my HDHomerun Dual Tuner. When I first launched PTVL it added the 4 streaming stations and works great. I then added a number of custom playlists which also works great. I am now trying to add my live tv channels as per your example on page 1 however I run into the blank page issue. I have followed the example and read through this entire post at least a half dozen times trying to compare examples and my syntax appears good but I still am unable to get past the blank screen when I try to add a channel. Here is what I am adding to my setting2.xml file:

<setting id="Channel_20_type" value="8" />
<setting id="Channel_20_1" value="I16689.labs.zap2it.com" />
<setting id="Channel_20_2" value="hdhomerun://103AC965-0/tuner0?channel=8vsb:587000000&program=1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_3" value="xmltv" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_changed" value="True" />
<setting id="Channel_20_time" value="0" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rule_1_opt_1" value="WCBSDT" />

The channel id for the epg is correct as is the 587000000&program=1. The remainder of lines are just a copy of your example. The xmltv.xml file is located in my /storage folder which I added to the settings and is in the "ISO-8859-1" format. I appreciate any debugging help you can provide. I have included my settings2.xml and xbmc.log files below.

I have tried to configure a channel to use Hulu but I have not figured out what i have been doing wrong. I will take any pointers you can. Below is an example of what i have tried. I believe that i am using the wrong type of channel.

<setting id="Channel_8_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_8_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_8_2" value="plugin://plugin.video.hulu/?art=%22http%3a%2f%2fassets.huluim.com%2fcompanies%2fkey_art_abc.jpg%22&amp;fanart=%22http%3a%2f%2fassets.huluim.com%2fcompanies%2fkey_art_abc.jpg%22&amp;mode=%22Menu%22&amp;name=%22ABC%22&amp;page=%221%22&amp;popular=%22false%22&amp;updatelisting=%22false%22&amp;url=%22http%3a%2f%2fm.hulu.com%2fmenu%2f513281%3fcompany_id%3d231%22&quot;" />

<setting id="Channel_8_time" value="0" />
<setting id="Channel_8_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_8_rule_1_opt_1" value="abc" />

Also when i tried to install the repository onto my XBMC12.2 I get errors. so i ended up downloading the plugin and installing that from Page 1.

I appreciate all the info and logs!!, very helpful... but are you sure you're running the latest master?
Try deleting the files in script.pseudotv.live, then moving the new files over.

Because the log looks outdated? and try enabling debugging for your logs and repost with new information, So I can get a detailed look at the problem...

I attempted changing the amount of channels displayed awhile back and no matter what I did it always caused the EPG to crash, eventually I just gave up and assumed it was a limitation of PTV.

However if anyone can figure out that would be sweet...I've always wanted the ability to display 8 channels on the EPG personally.

I downloaded the latest master and reinstalled it (still shows as version 0.1.9) after deleting all the files in script.pseudotv.live. I turned on the debugging and started up PTVL. It created the four channels again as expected and worked fine. I then added just the Channel 20 settings from above and restarted but unfortunately it went right back to a black screen.
Thanks for your help!

On a side note I am unable to enter into the Channel configuration within settings, I get a script config.py error.

Can't say I've ever seen that problem before... Its an easy fix, but it requires me to update code... I will fix in the next master push...

just one question what kind of xmltv id is "NA_SD_CA04486:-_10743_5 " what xmltv grabber are you using and what country?

This is my XMLTV file if that helps. http://pastebin.com/6bQnBjDH

I use XMLTV Gui from: http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/

Using NA_SD grabber for Schedules Direct. It was working fine up until I updated from the master a few days ago.
