[RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script
I'm sorry for being a bit lazy, but this thread is just too big to find an answer in - atleast if I'm not sure it's actually there.

I love this addon, but there's one thing that's really important to me, which I don't know if PseudoTV is able to do yet; is it possible to make a channel, that will play episodes in the order, they were originally aired? Fx:

Code:
X-Files.S01E01|X-Files.S01E02|Friends.S04E01|Friends.S04E02|X-Files.S01E03|X-Files.S01E04|Friends.S04E03 etc.

It doesn't matter when the episodes are "aired" - the key is that the will continue in the correct episode order.

If this is possible, just reply "yes", and I'll look for the way to do it myself Smile

This is not to difficult through XML code. Here is a example using clearart in the info screen.. (script.pseudotv.TVOverlay.xml)

Image

Code:
<control type="image" id="506">
                <description>Show Channel Icon</description>
                <posx>82</posx>
                <posy>485</posy>
                <width>260</width>
                <height>150</height>
                <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
                <align>center</align>
                <visible>false</visible>
            </control>            
            <control type ="image">
                <description>Clearart</description>  <!-- Clearart -->
                <posx>82</posx>    
                <posy>485</posy>    
                <width>270</width>    
                <height>180</height>
                <texture background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath]../clearart.png</texture>
                <aspectratio aligny="bottom" align="right">keep</aspectratio>
            </control>
As you can see I set the visible condition of the channel icon to false and replaced it with clearart but that could also be a clear logo or show poster..

If you needed a fallback you could give the clearart a id="10000" say, then set the visible condition to something like <visible>IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(10000))</visible> for the channel icon.

Code:
<control type="image" id="506">
                <description>Show Channel Icon</description>
                <posx>82</posx>
                <posy>485</posy>
                <width>260</width>
                <height>150</height>
                <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
                <align>center</align>
                <visible>IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(10000))</visible>
            </control>            
            <control type ="image" id="10000">
                <description>Clearart</description>  <!-- Clearart -->
                <posx>82</posx>    
                <posy>485</posy>    
                <width>270</width>    
                <height>180</height>
                <texture background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath]../clearart.png</texture>
                <aspectratio aligny="bottom" align="right">keep</aspectratio>
            </control>
Something to think about Smile

And here is a example for TV and Movie posters from my night skin..

Code:
<control type="image" id="506">
            <description>Show Channel Icon</description>
            <posx>85</posx>
            <posy>530</posy>
            <width>260</width>
            <height>150</height>
            <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
            <visible>IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(20000)) + IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(30000))</visible>
        </control>
        <control type ="image" id="20000">
            <description>Show Poster</description>  <!-- Show Poster movies-->
            <posx>80</posx>    
            <posy>515</posy>    
            <width>270</width>    
            <height>170</height>
            <texture background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath]folder.jpg</texture>
            <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
        </control>
        <control type ="image" id="30000">
            <description>Show Poster</description>  <!-- Show Poster TV-->
            <posx>80</posx>    
            <posy>515</posy>    
            <width>270</width>    
            <height>170</height>
            <texture background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath]../folder.jpg</texture>
            <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
            <visible>IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(20000))</visible>
        </control>
or Movie poster an episode thumb..

Code:
<control type="image" id="506">
            <description>Show Channel Icon</description>
            <posx>85</posx>
            <posy>530</posy>
            <width>260</width>
            <height>150</height>
            <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
            <visible>IsEmpty(Control.GetLabel(20000))</visible>
        </control>
        <control type ="image" id="20000">
            <description>Show Poster</description>  <!--Poster movies & EP Thumbs-->
            <posx>80</posx>    
            <posy>515</posy>

Please do a search for my name mwkurt in this thread. The answer should be a couple pages back, well maybe 7 or 8 pages.

Edit: it is page 144 of this thread.

Thank you, I'll have a look! Smile

Excellent Addon, especially if you're not sure what to watch.
How could I miss that one ;-)

Cheers

Great work on that one. I really like it!
I'm going to try and find some free time this week to update my skins and channel rules, etc.

While what you have is nice, might I offer a suggestion and say stay with the look already in Xeebo for the info screen. Right now it basically looks like one of the other skins you've done but with some text color changes. Keeping the look found here:

Image

but tweaking it just a little to help fit some of the other things will help make things flow together better and make for an overall more coherent skin.

Just my 2c of course! Big Grin
Thanks for the input guys, it's always great to get someone else's opinion.
Your right Sranshaft, it's basically what I've done before with a different background and some font tweaks.(Laziness on my part I guess Smile). Your suggestion makes a lot of sense and will fit with the skin much better. I think I will try to merge the VideoOSD.xml that you posted and the DialogFullScreenInfo.xml (which takes up the whole screen in XeeBo Eek) and see if I can come up with something more complimentary with the skin.

Cheers.
[WIP] XeeBo info screen version 2..

^Looks good.
+10 points for the episode choice!
Nothing to see here....
Steveb Wrote:[WIP] XeeBo info screen version 2..

Definitely much better! Fits in perfectly with the rest of the theme now.
I noticed that the 'tab'-button is not working.
(e.g. Home menu browsing while watching PseudoTV)

Is there a reason for that or is this missing by design?

It's now up to addons to program that functionality so Jason would have to add an event for it. This may cause some problems though with getting back into PseudoTV from the home screen but Jason would be better equipped to answer that concern.
