RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - lzep - 2014-01-22

I have a question about the EPG. Is it possible to change what loads as you're scrolling through the EPG? I see the controls in EPGWindow.py file here:

self.getControl(500).setLabel(self.MyOverlayWindow.channels[newchan - 1].getItemTitle(plpos))
self.getControl(501).setLabel(self.MyOverlayWindow.channels[newchan - 1].getItemEpisodeTitle(plpos))
self.getControl(502).setLabel(self.MyOverlayWindow.channels[newchan - 1].getItemDescription(plpos))
self.getControl(503).setImage(self.channelLogos + ascii(self.MyOverlayWindow.channels[newchan - 1].name) + '.png')

Is there a way to change the "getItemDescription" to be the Plot Outline instead of the Plot? How does PTV know where to fetch this data from in the first place in the code?

Also, the "getItemDescription" seems to be truncated after about 460-480 characters or so, it's not a set number for each one because I've done a character count on various movies. How does it know where to cut itself off and is there a reason for this?

Thanks for any help.

PseudoTV Gotham support was taken care of, at least the major problem... a ticket was open for a change in XBMC that will fix the issue. When the change is pushed the nightly builds will work with PseudoTV. I will update you to when the fix is including...


::Update::

Good news, XBMC merged the changes which should fix PseudoTV in Gotham... I assume all builds after today will include the fix.

Excellent news! keep us updated Big Grin


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - Lunatixz - 2014-01-26

::Update::
Jason102, steveb and I are working on an official release with Gotham support. Which will be available shortly...


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - rblogg - 2014-01-31

Thanks for all your hard work Lunatixz!

I've just given your updated build a go on the latest nightly build of gotham, however I'm unable to install it, getting a "dependencies not met" error.

I had a look at the log file and this part seems relevant:

14:32:55 T:1504360728 DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (FileBrowser.xml) ------
14:32:55 T:1504360728 DEBUG: bool CZipManager::GetZipList(const CStdString&, std::vector<SZipEntry>&) - Processing zip://%2fsdcard%2fDownload%2fXBMC-PseudoTV-stable-pre-Gotham.zip/
14:32:55 T:1504360728 DEBUG: Addon script.pseudotv requires xbmc.python version 2.0 which is not available


Any thoughts on how to fix? Running on android if it's relevant....

EDIT: After installing it manually by copying it to the add-on folder it seems to be working fine!

Hello

Can someone tell me how to download this add-on ? It's not in my add-ons. Went to - get add-ons - xbmc.org official one - programs. Can't find pseudo.

Using xbmc 12.2.

thank you


RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - smallclone - 2014-01-31

Great add on - How do you get audio selections up if you have no keyboard on your remote?

I press "ok" like I would when watching a normal video file but the info media comes up

Thanks

Thank you

Go to the first post in this thread. At the top of that post click on Repository link. Then you'll see a drop down box that says "branch: master". Click on the drop down arrow and select "stable-pre". Then click on the button to the right that says "Download ZIP".

Once it's downloaded install it in XBMC by going to Add-Ons > Install From Zip File.

Anyone know of a way to turn off subtitles? Some of my shows have them and Pseudo always shows them for some reason and doesn't respond to my subtitle command on the remote. I tried searching the thread but couldn't find anything on it.

The issue is that you are using a remote. Keypresses from your remote have to be coded individually inside pseudotv, they dont just get imported from xbmc. Using a keyboard press 'm' to bring up the OSD and then select the audio settings and turn off subtitles from there.

Would also love to know. I cannot get PTV to work at all on Gotham - just get "unable to populate channels" error each time, using the pre-stable version. Would love to get this working properly on Gotham as I've now standardised my media systems on it...

If you add your main drive (the drive with xbmc on it) as a "source" in XBMC and just say "none" for content and "ignore" for library updates, PTV will work. It just started messing up my shared database because you need all the systems to have SMB paths and not direct paths.(I think anyway)
Woohoo! This worked for me.

Except real time isn't working properly. I go up a channel and back, the video starts from the beginning. Isn't suppose to move in real time?
