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

is Jason still developing PseudoTV? It would be a shame to see this project go the ways of TVTime

Latest version works perfectly for me on OpenELEC Eden.....just the EPG that is damn slow.

PseudoTV does not work with XBMC 12 Alpha. I hope there will be a new Version. LOVE this ADDON

EDIT:
PseudoTV is working on XBMC 12 Alpha but u have to delete the channel m3u files and let PseudeoTV generate new ones.

I'm still here, just busy with other things.

I get an error while loading the program. I didn't add anything, but install PseudoTV. Using aTV 2.

"Error: Unable to populate channels. Please verify that you have scraped media in your library and that you have properly configured channels." Configuring the channels i know i can do by pushing the "menu" button, but what do i have to do in it and where do i scrape media?

Congrats guys on the add on. I would like to donate if at all possible.

Anyone know how I can normalize the audio for my videos? Batch normalizing would be the best or an add on that does this in real time. It is very apparent on my music channel. Videos are at different audio levels and kind of annoying.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

GuyDanger: If you run Vista or Windows 7, you can use this: http://pseudo-tv.blogspot.com/2011/10/si...essor.html

If not, then I don't have an answer for you.

In windows 7, there is a setting you can select to do your normalizing for you and works quite well. If you click on the speaker icon down on the right hand side, select your output, in my case "Realtek Digital output", then select "properties" then "Enhancements", then check "Loudness Equalization". That should do it.
I tried Jason's normalization app and found that it would take a few nanoseconds for it to kick in when the volume changed, especially to a louder pitch, and would quite often startle us at the initial volume level of whatever action or talking was happening. The windows 7 thing takes care of that problem though.

is there a way to get new episodes added to the programming without forcing a channel reset?

Interesting...The "Loudness Equaliztion" works on all of my computers that are connected through HDMI. I have 5 computers running XBMC and PseudoTV. Must be some sort of problem on your end.

As for the new episodes being added, Pseudo is set to update the channels every 5 days. That is when new episodes are added to the channel. Of course you can change this to occur as much as every day if you wish.

Here you see a log of my problem while trying to create a 'Folder channel' to my channel list. Any clue in how to solve it? Everytime I try to create a channel based on a singular folder, I select it and press the OK button but nothing happens and the channel is not creating.
