mwkurt Wrote:Hello,

I think I have found a problem with the "Best effort scheduling" It looks like when scheduling "Days of the Week", the days Tuesday and Saturday both have the same abbreviation of "UTS". Can anyone else confirm this? I am using PTV Version 2.

Thanks,
Mark

UMTWHFS

U=Sunday
M=Monday
T=Tuesday
W=Wednesday
H=Thursday
F=Friday
S=Saturday

I'm still having trouble actually getting scheduling to work though, but hope this helps.

I'm running into an issue that sounds similar to this now, using current git repo.

XBMC is locking randomly when I change channels in pseudoTV. Every time it does, I get that same FlipPage error a bunch of times and the interface freezes. I can hear the audio continuing, however. I have to xkill/killall to stop it.

Anyone know what could be causing this? Should I be opening a thread somewhere else?

Here's a sample log file showing the crash: http://pithed.org/download/xbmc.log

If anyone has any use for them, I would be glad to make them available. All 1280x720 mkv 24fps h.264.

rdarwish Wrote:Has anyone figured out a reliable way to integrate your daily/weekly MythTV recordings into PseudoTV so that you see them with the rest of your content?

I have not been able to get the majority of my recordings to be recognized and/or integrated. PTV sucks in a few movies and a show here and there, but I can't get it to suck in more or more often. I have set PTV to update Daily from the configuration menu.

Right now, I am using mythlink to create a directory of links with the show names, but it doesn't seem to be working. I also have my myth recordings set up as sources, and they seem to be getting scraped by XBMC because they will show up through the main menu (i.e. If I go to Videos->Movies, the recorded movies will show up there with their descriptions, etc.,).

I have also tried setting up channels that would play either the directory of symlinks or the TV Show by name (PTV recognizes that the show exists in the configuration menu), but it doesn't effect anything. The channel will not show up. Also, when PTV does pick up a show, it only gets a random (usually one or two) number of episodes and will repeat them over and over. For instance, I have 8 episodes of NOVA recorded. PTV only sees two of those.

The program mythlink, mentioned before, is a utility that comes with MythTV. MythTV keeps track of its recordings with its own naming scheme, but the metadata is linked to that name through MythTV's own database. So mythlink just queries the db and maps the names to symlinks in a directory of your choosing. So it doesn't actually copy the recordings to a new .mpg file, but just makes a symlink.

I would love to be able to set up channels to play those recordings at a later time in the day, when I can enjoy them. Also, I record the news each day, it would be nice to be able to set up a schedule to play those, say, an hour later, so I could jump through commercials.

If anyone has succeeded in this, I'd love to know how.

I'm not sure if it matters, but I am running the git version of XBMC on Debian Squeeze, updated as of 1/24/2012.

Regardless, I think PTV is great; it's like another level of XBMC! I would like to be able to use it almost exclusively for watching my media.

Thanks!
