I might have a small bug (well it's a pretty big bug but it could be something I have done)
I can't seem to open the channel configuration anymore. It opens part way and then just freezes and I have to kill xbmc. Looking at the log it seems to be one of the smart playlists.
here is the log

My sincerest apologies if this has been answered already, but i have a question...
I am interleaving a channel which has only commercials (funny ones i downloaded) into my regular channels, and it works great! the only problems is the 'coming up next' thingy announces the name of the commercial instead of the tv episode following it. is there any way to tell it to skip announcing the commercial and announce the following ep instead? in other words, to somehow tell the 'coming up next' module to completely ignore the interleaved channel?
- Daavid - 2012-01-13
Captainzero - In the settings you can get it to ignore short videos. This does exactly what you're looking for.
- Captainzero - 2012-01-13
ah fantastic thanks mate

Thanks for creating an amazing add-on! Just had one quick suggestion -- for users with massive libraries, certain channels can take quite a long time to refresh; the channels for mixed Comedy and Drama, in particular, have thousands of entries on my system, all of which seem to be added on refresh by default.
I've already solved this problem on my home system by creating custom smart playlists for most of the channels and limiting them all to 100 entries. A complete channel refresh only takes a couple minutes instead of 15-20 minutes in the default setup, and 100 programs on each channel is still more than enough to last a while without a refresh.
Maybe an option to limit results on all channels to 10/50/100?

Hi..
You may not even want to be doing a full refresh. I don't know your system or what your channels act like, but with the background updating, I really never have to refresh my PseudoTV as it seems the playlists keep getting added onto all of the time while I am watching something.

New PseudoTV skin for the Metropolis fans..

- simplechords - 2012-01-16
is it possible to add streaming web content as a pseudo TV channel?
Basicaly, have it make a channel from a .STRM that XBMC supports.

simplechords Wrote:Basicaly, have it make a channel from a .STRM that XBMC supports.
I think it's been talked about but nothing set in stone.
You'd have to have something specific to where it's more of a "this channel will always open this strm file, no time schedule"
- Jason102 - 2012-01-17
Quick2822: This is a known issue with the ATV. There is a "fix" a few pages back. It's on my (ever increasing) list of things to do, but I really don't know what's wrong yet.
simplechords: The newest stable-pre will play .strm files that are in your library and have durations. Beyond that, they really break PTV functionality. I do know that this is something many people want, but at the moment I don't know of a way to do it that wouldn't remove the whole point of using this addon.
Steveb: Very nice, I'll make sure it's in the next release. Actually I need to go back and see what is/isn't in the current release.
Can any skinners just say if they have a skin or update that isn't in the current release so I can put it in there?
eg4190: I've struggled with this. I don't really want to limit the results since (in certain cases) you'll never see some shows (if they are beyond the limit, they will never be returned). I do limit the size of a channel, but I get everything that relates to that channel, randomize them (if necessary), and then limit it so that everything has a chance to go in. As mwkurt says, I recommend turning on background updating. It's less obvious as to what's going on, but it should always keep your stuff up-to-date (relatively) without a complete refresh of a channel.
blackjack17: You appear to have a pretty sizable library. This will slow things down, but shouldn't just stop it from loading. By chance do you use channel sharing?

does pseudo tv work with atv2? I get an error, Unable to populate channels. Please verify that you have scraped media in your library and that you have properly configured channels.
Noob question, sorry.

It at least partially works. There are problems with the controls (a fix is on the previous couple pages). In order to get it to start, please verify that you have scraped media in your library and that you have properly configured channels.

Jason
Yes I do have quite a big library about 1700 movies, 430 TV shows totaling about 6TB. I don't have channel sharing turned on as everything is running from the one computer and it is the only computer in the house.
My earlier comment said I was on pre eden, but I was actually on Daharma. Since then I have up graded to eden beta but the problem still existed.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but looking at the log it kept getting stuck at the smart playlist "yvonnes movies (Comedy/Romance/Drama)". As uninstalling did not delete the channels. Whether psudotv was rebelling at the terrible movies or if it was some other issue who knows.
In the end I uninstalled, then ran a search on the xbmc directory for pseudotv and just deleted everything. Then I reinstalled and it seems to run okay now (almost)
I now have a skin issue with pseudotv (I am unsure whether to ask about here or in the skin forum).
I am running Aeon MQ3 and when you run the channel configuration there is no ok/cancel buttons. When you open the rules the the rules are empty and you can't select any. And finally when you have the epg guide open and you are moving up or down, when a channel reaches the top (or bottom) it seems to flicker diagonally downwards across the screen (I am not explaining this well and I doubt if I could get a screen shot as it is quick.
Cheers for the great programme.

Sorry I am noob. Just installed xbmc for he first time 2 days ago. Can you please elaborate with scraped media.? My channels are set as default. Is there a tutorial link fot this?
