Just a quick note on my progress. I was finally able to get the list cleaned up so it could be added to the script.
Most channels in the list will need testing. Some will need removal, for instance the HD channel from Czech Rep. While very clear stops and locks up the box forcing a hard reboot.
With some persistance and blittan clarifying my attempt to establish a filter on the list of channels. The filter now works and all channels except the originals that infinity started the script with are filtered by country..
I would like to get a few more things tweaked and then I'll pass my changes to Infinity for him to run the list through the parser he has to clean it further. Then the added channels and improvements should be available for all..
Thanks,
FC

Biscuits,
I'll check into possibly why you weren't able to make a selection from the channel list.
But it's already not making much sense as I used the numeric inkeycode that the button returns when pressed. Unless the numeric button codes are different on various xbox models.
But I doubt that is the issue. I'd say your download may not have been complete or got corrupted somehow. I'm thinking the free file host site may not keep the files for very long anyway so I'll upload it again in couple days.
I just officially got married so I'm little busy now.
As far as channels locking up, channels with HD content from my altered version of the script will do that. I didn't identify all of them since it was over 1200 channels in the list and it wasn't a priority.
If my memory serves me right, while I was coding I had the media player cache nearly maxed out. I'd try adjusting this upwards from the default values. I've experienced really long loading times for the channels but if they time out or take too long it normally just sends you back to the list without locking up the xbox.
Try getting a clean copy of the script and re-installing it, adjust your video cache up max it out or nearly maxed out then adjust it downward until you experience a change in performance. Then find the sweet spot for your machine/environment. Video cache size can affect performance on plugin's too so once you change it test everything. What may work for this script may not work for plugin's especially those using veohproxy or streamplugserver.
Leave a post if you get it working and what you had to do to get it functioning for you so others can reference it if they experience the same problems.
Thanks,

I've been keeping track of this and after the last post I have a couple observations:
When working on this script the xbox remote wasn't considered in programming the navigation. If it worked in the oringinal script I couldn't tell you why. So navigating the lists and making selections are programmed around the xbox game controller dpad and buttons.
I just did a fresh Tech install from the 9/6 build 'I think thats the date'. Anyway I was able to test a few channels including the German Toon TV channel and it worked perfectly. So I'm not sure what could be causing lock-ups on anyone elses machine other than network traffic and/or connection speed.
Something to Note - When I ran the script without Veoh proxy running in the background I had minimal if any problems. But If it was running, there were lock-ups during the caching of some ot the channels.
So when you run this script make sure you turn off the Veoh Proxy script and you may have more success.
When I get more time I'll see if there is anything else that can be done to make this script more useable.
Cheers

Indeed youre right. Lazyness on my side, after 2 times rebooting I assumed it was broken. Checked just now and it didn't lock-up the second time I tried.
I have no Veoh running.
I have my buffers at 2048 now as that seems the best for me.
Still have lock-ups one in a while.
btw it still is my fav app
