The force random mode in PTV is not to randomize a single show. It is to randomize many different shows and not the episodes within those shows. If you do not choose, "show episodes in order" or if you make a smart playlist for "House" and include the random rule within the playlist, you should get a random selection of episodes of "House".

Ok i have tried a few things now and im still lost. First of all i will describe my setup.

I have a pc running a MySQL database, which has my XMBC libary on. I then have a networkhub that i plug USB external harddrives into, it then shares them harddrives via SMB shares, similar to a basic NAS box i assume.

There is no username/password to connect to the SMB share called STORAGE. the loca ip is 192.168.0.5.

When i try to run PseudoTV on RC3 Frodo i get this error in the logs

Quote:03:23:52 T:2958712832 ERROR: script.pseudotv-SMBManager: Unable to get the IP or hostname for STORAGE
03:26:37 T:2958712832 ERROR: script.pseudotv-ChannelList: Unable to get information about channel 1
03:26:50 T:2958712832 ERROR: script.pseudotv-ChannelList: Unable to get information about channel 2
03:27:16 T:2958712832 ERROR: script.pseudotv-ChannelList: Unable to get information about channel 3
03:28:19 T:2958712832 ERROR: script.pseudotv-ChannelList: Unable to get information about channel 4

Once it finishes running thru all channels, and being unable to get information it shows an error in XBMC saying it could not scarpe my libary and to check that my libary is correct. my libary works perfectly for everything else on all XMBC setups in the house. I followed some instructions earlier trying to edit SMBFile.py and force the SMB share information, but that has not worked.

Quote:class Connection:
def __init__(self, ip, host, username, password):
self.serverip = "192.168.0.5"
self.hostname = "STORAGE"
self.username = ''
self.password = ''
self.lastConnection = 0
self.conn = 0
self.alive = False
self.ntlmv2 = True
self.dead = False
self.log("Trying to connect to " + ip + " with the name " + host + ", " + username + " / " + password)
self.tryConnection()

So if anyone has PseudoTV working with SMB shares and MySQL, could you please explain how you did it and what i am doing wrong here? thanks.

go into xbmc add all your network media source ie. (movies, TV)
always use IP address not host names... so your shares should look like... smb://192.168.0.0/TV
Open the source at least once... if a user/password enter now and click always remember...
re-scrape all media... your media has to be scraped while using IP smb not host names. so if you are using mysql you might have to drop your db and start clean...

two things to remember when using xbmc and smb... always use IP not host name and make sure xbmc has privileges for those share folders and files!

Dec64,

Try mapping your media to local drives on the pc's you're running PTV on.

Hi,

first ... sorry for my bad english.

im using Xbian with XBMC Frodo on my Raspberry Pi. My video library is my local network (nas).
My video source is smb://192.168.100.245 and i have no user management ... everyone can connect.

i try to use pseudotv, but it always says "Unable to populate channels. Please ... ".
if i look in xbmc.log, i can see

Update to stable-pre: fixed crashes from Rastan and Icadell. Improved the reading of video files over SMB.

I know that there are a lot of random issues and requests that people have. I wish I could put some more time into PTV, but a new baby and a busy job limit my free time. I will still provide random updates when I can, but (as has been the case for the last couple months) this will be sporadic. My biggest priority is to make this stable with Frodo. If anyone is encountering crashing, please provide a log and I'll try and get to it as soon as I have an opportunity.

Solved all my problems, thanks for the update! Appreciate the hard work you put into this, good luck with the new baby! Wink

Jason I know you must be really busy with the new baby. Congratulations Erm how do you add a TS file to channel config?[/align]

I'm using Frodo. And stable pre PsuedoTv

hi I was really excited to try this add on as it's really fantastic but

problems I'm having are tv guide don't show times for shows or next video its just blank

second I have tried to add a folder that contains a ts file to channel editor wizard it adds the folder/directory and the path by choosing directory and path in channel editor but when I reboot psuedo tv there's no sign of it for example I assign it to channel 11 and when in pseudo there is no channel 11 very strange?

please help me I love what you have made for xbmc





RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - Jason102 - 2013-01-22

RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV (Video) Addon - Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script for XBMC - jamie steed - 2013-01-23

aThankful for replying TS file is short for transport stream

MPEG Transport stream

Make a channel and then choose playlist and pick that list.
