Yeah it happens both with TVTime and PseudoTV... I like both of them, but do like being able to use folders and commercials which is why I use TVTime.

I am currently using Dharma and not Eden also. I know this will be fixed eventually hopefully haha

I have just installed this after trying Psuedotv and the extra options are what I wanted. So far awesome (tho tripped up on the .22 version freezing but a bit of research fixed that).

Just a question on the serial mode. One of the downfalls of the psuedotv script is everything is random and I wanted to sequence shows but have them mixed (like on tv)

It works here and that's great but I wanted to know if it's possible to use the season episode numbers over dates aired. Not a real big deal just wondered.

Also, is there a way to have a channel such as FOX show episodes of one show in order (like 24) but have completely random shows thrown that aren't in order (such as Simpsons)

Looking great so far tho.

Whoops! Sorry I missed this question the last few times I read through the thread, ignoring your question really wasn't intentional. Also I understand getting any information from Google would be rather difficult thanks to the Linux tv-card application of the same name, which was there first. (Really the name ought be changed to something more unique IMHO, to avoid just this sort of confusion!)

Any way, what is TV Time? A better question would be what is PseudoTV? That's because TV Time for XBMC is based on that addon and they do the same things, except TV Time for XBMC was extended to add features that PseudoTV did not yet have. What these addons do is organize your library so while within the program it can be navigated like a DVR or cable box from DirecTV or Dish Network, etc. It does this by using the information already present in your library to pull genre, network, episode summaries, etc and builds playlists based on that information into an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) dynamically so you can "channel surf" your video collection.

Where TV Time differs from PseudoTV is in the ability to add "bumpers" or channel identification videos, commercials, and movie trailers in between episodes or movies. jtucker1972 was also working on adding "live" channels streaming from the internet, music (think XM Radio) and folder based channels. Plus the controls are more fine grained than PseudoTV, which allows you to decide if you want only HD episodes, or if you want the episodes to run consecutively or in random order in your channels.

For someone who has cut the cable using XBMC with this addon is a fun way to show friends that you're not really missing anything when you let go of the cable box and start building a library of stuff you KNOW you like.

I hope that answers your questions.

Would like to second this! Please tell the rest of us what we need to do, so we can all move back to the latest release!

I have a question of my own that I don't think I've seen addressed anywhere in the thread. Is it possible to run one skin and get a different skin for TV Time? For example, I run the xTV SAF skin for XBMC which either uses the default XBMC TV Time skin or is simply not skinned at all, I'd like to know if it is possible to customize the EPG and info display to something like some of the other skins?

I did say.... I did research (searched this thread for freeze)

I rolled back to the 2.2.20 version instead of .22.

I had it freeze at 10% when opening the channel configurator. Works fine using the .20 version. Perhaps once the script has been installed and setup you can upgrade to .22 and it will still work, just not on a new install. I'm not going to try since I have it working now, I'll just wait for word of a newer version.

Really loving the features of this plugin.

So far I have managed to set the logos, get the commercials working and get the bumpers working and am ecstatic that it can arrange the seasons in order in a channel (a MUST).

Just a few things I have found:

When using the Bumpers, a channel in the EPG just shows a blank hole where the bumper is (thats fine by me) but you cannot scroll RIGHT to get past it.

Also there doesn't seem to be a way of refreshing the commercial and bumper playlist. It confused me since I set my music folder as a test to start with then set a different path when I got a few commercial test files but it continued to use my old path. I managed to find the generated playlists for this and delete them and they were recreated when entering in again.

TvTime just hangs at 10% (meter stay on screen) when I run it. It pops up a black borderless box in the middle of the screen (I can still see the skin around it).

I can still navigate the skin but I must kill XBMC to get the meter and black box off the screen.

If you are using v 2.2.22 then try and uninstall that and install the 2.2.20 version. Fixed that exact issue for me.

Has anyone got a fix/workaround for the bug where you can't move Right on the EPG if Bumpers/Commercials are enabled?

It like "get's stuck"




Also, does the filenames of the bumpers matter (Network ID, Intro, opening, ident, etc) or is it all just random?

Seems to be an issue with the "Resume" feature

It does indeed resume BUT if I decide to skip or even FF a show and I exit, the channel will open back up at the point before I skipped or FF (as in as if I never did).

This basically doesn't allow you to skip a show that you don't like.
