when i get the channel list some of the channels dont get thumbnails. also when i press on any channel i get a script error "python script failed", therfore plugin not working
I did update the link, maybe you got the old one? also check you changed the username and password in the default.py file.
Not all the thumbnails work because they don't officially exist on the server! the api returns a list of the logos. but some of them physically don't exist on the server at the moment? I think it maybe wip on tvc's side.

also i noticed with all the tvc plugins so far that the xbox cpu is at 85%-100% all the time which when auto temp control is set in system settings causes the fan to spin up to a extreamely loud state ruining the watching of TV. is there not some way to reduce cpu usage as i dont get this problem with other plugins like the bbc iplayer plugin.
and browseing another channel for listings whilst watching a channel sends cpu to 100% and locks the xbox up
The thumbnail issue, I think fantaman32 has hit the nail on the head. As for the processor load issue, its not the plug-in that's the problem it'll be with the way XBMC deals with the flash content. The BBC don't encrypted flash streams, where as TVC do and decoding the streams requires more power. I don't think it is limited to just the XboX build either as I've noticed it on my Windows build. Have you used any other plug-in that work with sites using RTMPE and if so do you have the same problems with them?

fantaman32, respect for your hard work. I'm sure nobody has intentionally shown any disrespect to you, and the work you have done is obviously well appreciated. By us at TVC, as well, as the more people who can enjoy the streams, the more we collectively develop what we want, and at a cost that suits us, not be told what we're going to get and charged a king's ransom for it
I'd love to see you all on the TVC forums any time, your expertise and support is eriously appreciated. fantaman32: I will pm you mate

I think the issues your having may have to do with this:

you sir are a legend

A legend you are! This is one brilliant plug-in.
I just have one question and it's only out of curiousity - why are there sometimes multiple options within a channel?

That's just the way its been done to allow the 'Now and Next' function to work.
