[RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script

(2012-04-19 02:29)-89- Wrote:  I know I can just convert the files, but I've found after flipping to any channel that is playing a WMV file from my library, that WMV file plays fine. BUT, when I switch it to another channel, that video bogs down to unwatchable for about 30-45 seconds until clearing up.

Just WMV files causing problems.

----

Also, I turned off Background Updating and set my channels to refresh daily since I download new TV shows every day. Had to turn off Background Updating because it was annoying for videos playing to stutter every few seconds (or not really stutter, but it's like a frame hiccups and stays up there a few frames too long). I thought turning that off would fix the problem, but it still does that every now and then and it's really annoying. If I exit PseudoTV and go back in, the problem is fixed. What's up? My computer is pretty damn powerful.

Hmm.,,, Don't know what could be wrong with your setup. I have background updating on, on all of my pcs and I have no problems whatsoever. Of course I am still using Dharma. I understand that Eden has some problem where the EPG will react slowly. My pcs are not powerhouses by any stretch:http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/emachines_er1402_review
Maybe post your log file and let Jsaon or someone who knows whats what, look at it.

Seeing a bunch of this stuff:

Here's my log after opening XBMC, going to PseudoTV, flipping through 8-10 channels, two of which had .WMV movies (Dark Knight and Bourne):

http://pastebin.com/GUpSktFk

I am using XBMC 11.0. Lot of errors at the bottom of the log. Also, the troublesome channels after all of that happens does not return to normality until I exit and go back into PseudoTV.

---

Also, I run XBMC on my secondary display (my HDTV). So, I like to browse the internet or do whatever while XBMC is up, so I use "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" if that makes any difference with my problem.

Otherwise, if I use true fullscreen, XBMC minimizes if I got back to my main display and start doing anything.

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

Go into the Video/Audio settings and untick enable subtitles. It's mapped to the 'm' key in PTV. Im using the plex player controls with a harmony remote and use "F8' which brings up both favourites and the v/a settings.

I've got a strange problem i can't seem to fix. everytime i use pseudotv it crashes xbmc upon exiting. It only happen with eden 11.0- dsplayer. if intsall any other version of eden problem goes away. Heres a copy oof the debug log maybe someone could help me out. thanks

Hey I am trying to use the PSeudoTV Network Manager but it keeps coming up with the following error. I am running windows 7 64bit with the correctly visual c++ library installed.

http://www.mybroadband.co.za/photos/...30446&cat=1308


I ran it as administrator as well. Can anyone help me here?

Hi! I'm newbie using PseudoTV and I have a problem using it: Everytime I try to create a channel using a directory source, the program freezes. Any clues?

I'm using a MacMini, Eden 11 & Aeon MQ3 Skin

Jason... something broke....a while ago...

with Jasonra-XBMC-PseudoTV-v1.0.0-136-g38f59da (actually version 2.0.0) I can select "TV Network" and choose one, but with any newer version it won't let you choose a network - the box to choose from is just blank.

I've copied the settings and settings2 files from the version that worked, and the newer versions will build the channels and everything....but then you can't edit your channels at all
basically, the channel editor is broken in the newer versions

This happens on openelec 10.1 darma, with me and a few other users.

Problem I'm having is that when I try and go to channel configuration, it gets to 90% before freezing. Hitting cancel does nothing either, it says 'cancelling' but then I can't escape the message

Here's my log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/939571/

for all those who get the "directory" option stuck.
i had it when the folders (or one of the subfolders) was in foreign language (mine was hebrew).
as soon as i changed the folder name to english it worked (didnt change the filenames. still in hebrew).

hi. how can i add my own genre to channels. i want to add "stand up" or have only movies from israel (by country).
thanks
