Yeap, working just fine on the pre-eden build from yesterday. Make sure you grab the stable-pre branch though.

Yeah, not sure what to tell you mate, sorry. Confused Nothing screams, "this is problem!" other than the multiple 'channel not valid, ignoring' logs. Have you tried doing a channel reset? That's the only thing I can suggest at the moment.

Edit: Okay, I had a test on my other computer and I'm getting the same problem with multiple 'channel not valid, ignoring' logs. Though I am able to get Channel 1 to work, everything after fails. Jason may need to step in on this one.

Edit: I deleted the stored channel_1.m3u file and now I'm experiencing the same issue you are. The strange thing is there was a channel_2.m3u.locked file as well. Probably a trash file from PseudoTV not being able to create Channel 2 but it was odd that it wasn't cleaned up in that case.

Do you still get weird graphical issues?

I get the odd shuffle of the guide when scrolling from top to bottom but nothing overly annoying. I believe the way things are painted on screen was changed somewhere along the pre-eden branch that made the screen update immediately instead of waiting until everything was finalized but Jason would have to confirm that.

Okay, I did a little more testing and I'm only able to get channels created through the addon setting dialog to work. Channels setup through the old way, Channel_#, using the built in smart playlist editor do not work.

Channel 1 - 16 were set up using the smart playlist editor which failed. Channel 17 was set up using the Channel Configuration dialog. Debug log here: http://pastebin.com/h36JCePz

mwkurt: The plan is to have both rules.

Sranshaft is right about the graphical issues. XBMC provides a mechanism to allow a script to smooth things out, but this was removed in Eden. I asked about it at one point but didn't get any response.

Channels setup purely based on the smart playlist name isn't supported anymore (as of something like version 1.0.2). At the time your settings were migrated so that you shouldn't have noticed any difference, but channels can no longer be done that way. Now, you need to create a smart playlist and then point to it from the channel configuration tool. It makes things a bit more difficult for those who want to do things that way, but the restriction helps prevent possible conflicts between problems and confusion.

RenZ0R: I can't see the pastebin data for some reason. Are you and Sranshaft using the newest (updated last night) version?

The playlists created by the smart playlist editor are selected as custom playlists in the channel configuration dialog but are completely skipped by PseudoTV. Yes, updated while testing last night and still experiencing the same issues.

Edit: Turns out I had to go through and manually remove all the old custom playlists and then re-add them. Everything now works.

That sucks. Was there any explanation given for it's removal? Where was this out of curiosity so i can keep an eye on it.


- Jason102 - 2011-09-17 19:19

So Sranshaft, is all you did was to unconfigure and reconfigure the channels just the way they were?
