Nightly Builds Working! (atm) - mungki - 2011-05-26

Hi Jason,

Thankyou for your reply earlier, i seem to have managed to resolve my problem although i haven't spent any extensive time with the plug-in, just enough time to turn it on scroll through a few channels and exit.

When you said "XBMC seems to be doing the correct thing" i thought i'd spend a little time with my set-up and restart from scratch

I have icluded a log just incase you wanted to compare and see what changed (i wouldnt have a scooby doo what this file says) http://pastebin.com/wdHEan97

i thought i'd detail what i did incase anyone else has a similar problem

How i Got OSX May 26th Nightly Build Working With PseudoTV

This seems really obvious but if your like me and constantly download nightly buids and copy them over the previous day's build this might help
  • Back Up: Application Support/XBMC
    (which is the same as $APPDATA$/XBMC on PC)
    (If you mess up you can always stick this back and go back to the copy of XBMC you were using previously)
  • Delete: Application Support/XBMC
  • Download and Re-install XBMC (Dharma)
  • Run XBMC (Dharma), add all you media sources, add-on repositiories, skins, add-ons etc
  • Download PseudoTV Latest Stable-Pre from Here
  • Install PseudoTV
  • Run XBMC (Dharma), Run PsuedoTV (make sure it works okay)
  • Download XBMC May 26th Nightly Build (thats todays date etc...)
  • install XBMC Nightly Build
  • Run PsedoTV
  • Be Happy!

Note: one little thing XBMC kept crashing when i was trying to run the script and it was starting with HD media - then i realised this was a fresh install and i'd forget to disable "Allow hardware acceleration (VDADecoder)" in video playback settings

Steveb: I see the issue that you had. That code didn't change between 1.20 and the stable-pre version so I'm not sure why one works but not the other. Even so, the problem is valid and I've checked in a fix. If you get a chance, can you try out stable-pre again and see if it's working properly?

Cheers Jason102, that did the trick. Stable-pre working properly.
Nice touch with the small skip function, sometimes I miss a bit of dialogue (going deaf Big Grin) so this feature will get used a lot.Wink


really great work on this addon - noxy - 2011-05-27

sounds like an amazing addon

i am new to this game and have just installed this addon to my appletv2
i need to get to grips with what i need to do next.. i get no channel error when i start the add on and obviously i am making a totally amateur error but since ive gone thru this thread and many others i am reaching out for help.

What are the next steps here, do i need to configure channels myself, essentially i am looking to get an epg working with as many channels as possible.

thanks

Just tried the newest pre-stable release with the May 25th Windows Nightly build and keep receiving the 'No vaild channel data found' error.

... I'll upload a copy of the debug log once Pastebin is back up.

I'm having trouble getting this script to run. When ever I try it it gets stuck on "Updating Channel 1" I've checked the xbmc error log and this all that's written:

Code:
12:27:43 T:2921048944 M:3248390144  NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--
12:27:43 T:3024877568 M:3248390144   ERROR: ClearBlock: Trying to clear non existent block /storage/.xbmc/addons/script.tvtime

12:27:43 T:2921048944 M:3248381952  NOTICE: /storage/.xbmc/addons/script.tvtime/resources/lib/Overlay.py:41: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
                                              xbmc.Player.__init__(self, xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_AUTO)

I'm not exactly sure what's going on, I'm running OPENELEC so my guess it's some sort of incompatibility with the version of python it's running. If you could point me in the direction of narrowing down were the error might be coming from I can poke around the code and see if I can get it to run. I could get version 1.1 to run just fine but whenever I try to run 1.2 it breaks. Would be really nice to have that gui interface to set up my channels.

Hello,

You are getting deprecated warnings, meaning you are using a version of Python that has done away with or changed a command. Are you using nightlies? If so, you may want to roll back to Dharma.

I noticed someone requested my logos. Instead of just posting the ones I use myself I'll post the PSD file for people to make their own logonames.

No Valid Channel Data Found - Nightly Builds - mungki - 2011-05-30

After getting the newest pre-stable release with the May 26th OSX Nightly build working i decided to actually send some time with it defining all my own custom channels, after setting these up i then ran the script again but now i keep receiving the 'No vaild channel data found' error, i've tried re-installing and going back to default but with no joy

here's the log:
http://pastebin.com/UU4BXURX

p.s. when deleting for a fresh install is there anything else i need to delete apart from

XBMC/addons/script.pseudotv &
XBMC/userdata/addon_data/script.pseudotv

Cheers

I created a new logo for this add-on, as i didn't like the way the directTV inspired one looked on my skin, so i came up with this, i felt it was more fitting, so i thought i'd share it with everyone, if anyone wants any different versions for skinning such as a plain white one etc, let me know.

Hope You like it

Mungki

Sranshaft and mungki: This is the second time I've seen this, the returned JSON info from the nightly builds is just completely broken. At the moment there is nothing I can do to fix this. When I get a chance, I'll file a bug report so that this is resolved hopefully soon.

mcorcoran: The issues you see are just deprecation warnings. I need to change the way I'm using those functions for Eden, but for the moment those are just warnings. and can be safely ignored. If the script is crashing, can you please post a full debug log?

noxy: I don't know that the addon works properly with Apple TV. I know that it may really have problems with accessing networked (smb) videos if it doesn't know about the durations. Has anyone else tried ATV?

Ah, the joys of living on the bleeding edge. Laugh

After tomorrow I'm finally done with my own Forens*nix Linux distro!
In honor of celebrating my new (small) free time, are there any requests for skins that haven't been made yet?
