Love the adddon! Still tweaking it for my needs, but it's been great thus far and is the ace-in-the-hole for a channel-surfer wife.

I thought I'd share the icon I made for my set-up. It's based on the 'shinier' DirectTV logo.

oooooohhhhhh shiny!!!! Nice!

I love this add on!! The best I encountered so far ...

... 1 question: where can I change the duration of the notification time? I would love to have the info shown for about 30 seconds so I have enough time to read it ... when I change channels that is ...

InfoOnChange in settings.xml toggles the window on and off ... but how to make it show for 30 seconds?

So, I'm trying to ad TV commercials. I have my adverts on the same NAS drive as all of my other videos. I tried making a Directory Channel within PseudoTV but it doesn't pull any of the vids. I tried creating a Playlist in XBMC and then a Playlist Channel in PseudoTV from that Playlist. Also not working.

What's the trick?


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - Daavid - 2012-03-27

What you're doing should work. Could it be the video file type? Do they play normally in XBMC?

Daavid, thanks for your response.

They are .wmv files. I don't normally use that file type but I'm assuming XBMC will play them. Am I wrong?

When I try to make a Smart Playlist, the folder from which I'm trying to pull has a red icon as opposed to the other folders which are blue.

Huh


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - Daavid - 2012-03-27

Perhaps try to throw a file into that folder that you know already works fine in XBMC and then see if the folder plays, even if its just that file. At least then you'll know that in principal what you're doing is working and that it is the files that are the issue.


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - accurateweb - 2012-03-27

Nope. Good idea but that didn't work either.

Excellent icon. I've already replaced the icon.png with this one...........but how do I refresh XBMC to get it to change to the new icon?

I notice since updating to Eden, the channel guide moves a bit slowly, and is a little lagged. I was previously running Eden RC2 and had no problems.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Please see post #2641, paying attention to item #4.

Ouch. The latest update to 2.1.0 seems to have completely overwritten my script.pseudotv folder, erasing the custom logos and modified skin files I'd set up. Shoulda kept better backups I guess.

(2012-03-23, 16:30)Daavid Wrote: thumbinollie - Just wondering if you had a chance to help with that guide you mentioned earlier?
At the moment I'm trying to do the following, lets call it channel 1:

from 05:00 -> 12:00 it should show only TV-Y and TV-Y7 shows
from 12 -> 21:00 it should show TV-G and TV-PG shows
from 21:00 -> 05:00 it should show TV-14 and TV-MA shows

I just can't for the life of me figure out a good way to do it.

Can anyone help me with this? Jason? Keeper? thumbinollie?
Its going through my head. I really want to use PsuedoTV as an all day TV replacement. There's gotta be a way I haven't thought of......
I maybe should mention, I also have a hidden commercials channel and a hidden bumper channel that interleaves. Please help a humble dope get the most of his PsuedoTV......


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - Keeper - 2012-03-28

@David - I have a semi-answer for that one.

I have a PlayboyTV channel, but the whole day it only loops this one video I made that says "<not available> on a blue screen."
(sort of like an error, if kids accidentally flip to it)

I have a rule on that channel called "Best-effort channel scheduling", which interleaves 5 x R-Rated shows from hidden channel 101, after 8PM.
I then have another rule that does the same thing, but interleaves hidden channel 102, after 10PM (which contains softcore porn, hehe)

The problem is I would like Jason102 to create a channel rule so you can't SKIP the <not available> Dummy video via EPG and access the porn.... but i'm still waiting for an answer.
(many people want this rule for other reasons as well - they want to be "forced" to watch what is on, like with real TV.)

I'm not sure how difficult that will be to create on all your channels though - my guess is it's just not feasible. Sorry.

@ Jason

Would it be possible to fix channel numbers over 99 that aren't displaying correctly?

And also, can we maybe have more than 200 channels? (the old one had 1000?)
With 60 bumper channels and 20 Interleaving channels, I can only have around 120 channels, which is basically full Sad

I'm having a problem where my TV genre - Kids Channel only shows one movie (It's the great pumpkin charlie brown). Anyone else have problems like this or know how I might fix it? Thanks.
