Can you post your debug log so I can help narrow things down for you? Everything is working fine on my end so I'm not sure where things are getting messed up for you. Perhaps do a clean install of PseudoTV* and see if that works for you.

*Make sure you backup this folder in case things go wrong so you'll easily be able to recover. Also make sure you replace the channel icons back into the resources\images folder.

Hi Managed to get it working, i dont know what the difference is but it worked by using the script.PseudoTV.TVOverlay.xml from the skin.refocus folder
Thanks Again

Ugh...I've found what was going on with the default skin. Replace the old script.PseudoTV.TVOverlay.xml file with this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3687220/script.PseudoTV.TVOverlay.xml

@tungmeister: Looking at your log again, I see that you're running an svn version of XBMC. I believe this is the issue. JSON, for whatever reason, doesn't return the duration in newer builds. This information actually helps, though. The build you're using was made only 10 days after the official Dharma, so I may be able to track down the bug from the changelog over those 10 days.

Thanks for your help, all working and looking good

Please accept my apology in advance. I'm familiar with git but not with branching. I've pulled the master version automatically for weeks. How would I go about changing that to the stable-pre version from the command line?

Strange - I've no memory of downloading an SVN build after Dharma final sorry to have messed you about.

Edit: yep rolling back to 10 final has solved the issue for me.

I checked to make sure I was on the 10.0 release. I am on Linux and am having issues with the EPG and info screens not matching the shows. After researching it, the show in my EPG guide 7:20 AM - 8 AM is showing at 1:43 PM.

Is there a chance that the processing of time or timezone information is incorrect for Linux?

I always go to the site, and download the zip. It's easier.

Should be in the meta data. So like all Fox shows would show up on the fox channel.

Though I don't mind making a playlist it seems a bit round about. Tongue

Let me know if you figure out how to do this with the standard XBMC playlists. I haven't. Main reason I am trying to learn python and XBMC coding. That and I love punishing myself.

I'd assume there is some way to do it as xbmc displays a logo of the network in some skins. Another alternative is to create a play list of all current/past shows on that network.

Hi all - still loving this script thank you!!

Had to do a fair amount of forum pages reading to find the awesome playlists that JTucker (?) had set up (thank you!).

In the interests of making it easier for newbies to start using this script easily, any chance you can add this to the very first post?

"If you want to try some playlists that have already been setup by the very kind work of Jtucker, please see this repository. Explanation contained within the ReadMe file in that library."

Cheers either way!

The issue is with searching by network/studio via playlist. If you can tell me which skin, I'd love to take a look. I'm still not too good and writing the code, but I am understanding better how to read the code to know what it is doing.

Night does in some view types.

Here's a different background for those of us who've added pseudotv to the home page menu as a top-level menu item.

The default icon.png looks great - but doesn't scale well for high-def.

So, I found a fun tv image on the interwebs and added in a few blending options done on the logo to make it pop a little more.
