Strange permissions issue using PseudoTV/TVtime on XBMC Windows 8 Dev copy

Decimus Wrote:XBMC Is/isnt compatible. I'd say its about the same as Windows 7.

In my previous post you'll see I agreed about that issue and actually did a fresh Win 7 64 install to test, and compared to Win 8 it's a dream. (this issue I don't think can be blamed on Windows though, other than its drive management which is virtually the same) Win 8 was VERY unstable for me for alot of programs, and the compatibiltiy/legacy support isnt there yet and was a major headache/hassle to get stuff to work. I'd say I only had about 80% Success with my apps. I'm looking forward to it, but theres alot of work to be done. As for its XBMC Windows 8/Developer Preview support I'd say it's 95% and had no major complaints, but I do think I get better framerates/smoother on Win7.

I've had similar issues with PseudoTV and TVTime on My Macintoshes so this is definately worth bumping.

If you think it is an XBMC issue create a trac bug ticket. If this is a add-on issue post it in the add-on thread. Bumping is not the way.

Sorry to say it, but Quit being a jerk man. It is a Python based issue as well and Pseudo TV and TVTime have very little support. So the more issues we can solve the better. I'll keep posting until I am confident I've found a solution/fix.

Have to agree Decimus with what Martijn has told you. If this is a problem with XBMC make a ticket, otherwise post in the PSeudoTV thread so that Jason can see it. Creating your own thread about a problem with a plugin is not really a good idea if you want the dev to help you out. Suppose everyone that had a problem with a plugin, created their own thread. How do you think that would work out?
Any way...Jason is the creator of PseudoTV of which TVTime is an offshoot of. The guy that did TVTime has not been seen in a very long time. You will not get any help with that unless someone picks it up. Jason is usually very responsive to problems in his thread. I also have to tell you that you probably aren't going to get very much help with a Windows 8 problem, being on the cutting edge and all.

I think it is a Window's 8 Consumer Preview issue and not even specific to XBMC. I am running Windows 8 and in addition to the same problem you mentioned in XBMC and PseudoTV in particular, I have had settings in other programs not save after rebooting. My graphics card's software program kept resetting so I had to change scaling settings every time I logged off. Searching for help on that issue led to me finding a suggestion to just run as admin for any software that was not saving settings. It seems to help if I run programs as Administrator whether I should need to or not. I had to keep re-adding sources to XBMC and not just for PseudoTV but running XBMC as Administrator and then setting everything up has worked so far.
