[RELEASE] TVCatchup.com 2.0 with EPG
#91
dj_gerbil i've a bit of weird issue coming - when I start xbmc and then start tvcatchup everthing works fine I press the info button and the information panel appears with the the channel logo and OSD. However, I have a number of radio stations setup on a custom button on my home screen these are strm file with the rtsp:// link within and I have a matching tbn to provide the logo when playing.

However, this is the weird thing that is happening if I then go back into tvcatchup and back into the info screen it is no longer the channel logo from before but the logo of the radio station.

Any ideas?

My guess is that because its getting the logos from TVC, XBMC is probably using cached images instead. I'm planning on getting it to download the logos once, then it'll use those logos each time, but that'll come in the next release, after I'm back from my holiday Smile

Hey DJ,

Quick question... When I watch any of the itv 2/3 or +1 channels they seem to have an incorrect ratio? As if it's been squeezed into 4:3?

Everyone looks skinny and I need to manually switch this in xbmc from normal to wide or similar every time I switch to one of these broadcasts (and it never remembers the setting).

This never used to be the case, all channels used to fille the screen as expected, unless they were broadcasting 4:3 content etc.

I'm on a windows box, using Eden final, and running both versions of your plugin.

I run at 1920x1200 and if ou use itv2 on those settings, you'll see what I mean.

Cheers for a great plugin,
Pat~

That's a weird one. I remember asking TVC_James about it a while ago, but I don't remember him telling me what might be causing it. I'll message him later and see what we can work out.

Hi,

Firstly great program, really usefull since I cannot get a decent freeview signal in my bedroon. I do have a query though.

It seems that the epg will update quite often (well more often that I thought necessary). The update will run nearly every 1 or 2 days once I've powered on xbmc. I'm using Winodws 7 x64 with Eden. I set the epg to store 14 days of info and tvcatchup is installed from the tvcatchup repo.

The update runs fine, downloading from radio times then updating xml file. I'm just wondering if the program detects changes made by radio times and updates accordingly or is is downloading the radio times epg info directly from tvcatchup or why so often?

Thanks again for a great addition to xbmc.

Cheers
Confusion is just a state of mind.

Yea, it updates every 24 hours. It just happened that we did it that way for ease, although we could consider making it a user adjustable option if enough people want it.

Hello to everyone here. I have been with another site for years now but not getting much help..I have just started learning about atv2. have tried several times to run tvcatchup to no avail. I had seen an earlier post about an error,(houston we have a problem), and thats where im at. Could any of this be because i signed up at tvcatchup My question is, does one have to have a tv license for it to work ,if so where do i find it .I think this is a great site and i wish i would have started here...Thank You

Hi. You're supposed to have a valid TV licence to use the plugin but neither it or TVC have any way of checking. By the sounds of it and I'm only guessing as you haven't posted a log is that you haven't reset your region in your ATV's settings after you've Jail Broken it.
