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

thanks for the help guys! y read all the answers and tips

My playlist are fine, i use xbmc smart playlist menu to create my own playlist, they run ok before i tried to share the channels.

well, i have my playlist channels runing again, but.... i create the channels with de pseudo tv manager program, no with ptv, ptv channel manager still fail with my playlists!

I just found out about this, I made a thread earlier suggesting that someone made this although my idea had more features.

I suggested that you could had Youtube Channels as source so they be placed among the content of a channel. So, if you like nature content, you could have both BBC's documentaries that you own or online videos from youtube.
Also, it'll be great if you could schedule a channel to place, for example, every new "Frediew" video into the 9p.m. schedule.

I second this. But instead of Channels, RSS Feeds. You can get just about any content that's on youtube using RSS feeds.

From what I understand, this is what the "Best-effort scheduling" channel rule attempts to do.

Jason, apparently the new XBMC Audio Engine has full support for ReplayGain.... does this mean we will have audio volume "normalized" with PseudoTV soon?

Hi All

Cheers for the addon its pretty fun.

I just have one question. Is there a way to handle ISO's? Since a lot of my movie collection are ISO's of DVD's. I noticed in PseudoTV when it was "playing" a movie that was an ISO, it was just sitting at the DVD menu?

Is there a setting or away to make it just play the main movie?

Cheers

i just enabled pseudoTV to automatically background update (i.e.not minimal use) and now my xbmc is constantly freezing. anyf ixes? i want to disable it but i cant because XBMc crashes.

Keeper: I'm hoping that's what it means. I use my handy range compressor right now, which works great, but I need something for my ATV...hoping this will do the trick.

I've put unicode support into the stable-pre version. No guarantees that it's perfect (although I've never given that guarantee to anyone...ever) but my simple tests leave me hopeful that it now works.

would be nice to have a button on the apple remote to use for showing up the info what is playing at the moment

I don't know how many hours I've been searching, but I can't for the life of me create a station that plays a random episode from a random TV show with no TV show repeats.

Example
TV show a - 1x06
TV show f - 7x16
TV show c - 3x13
TV show a - 3x07
TV show b - 4x12

The main focus and most important element is that the TV show doesn't repeat
IE
TV show a - 11x13
TV show a - 2x12
TV show c - 3x09



What I've tried:

1. base show with interleaving of every other show every 1 episode played.

This ends up with the base show, followed by a random episode from a TV show, followed by the base show, followed by a different show's random episode, etc repeated instead of showing one episode of every interleaved tv show between every single base show episode.

IE it's doing this
Show a - 1x04
Show c - 3x07
Show a - 3x13
Show d - 12x22
Show a - 6x12


2. smart playlist set to episodes with all the shows included

This causes there to be shows repeating quite often because of the volume of total episodes.

I have tried random on the playlist and random on the channel and both on at the same time. None of those options fix the repeats.



3.editing the tvshow.nfo and creating a custom network for use with a channel

This limits me to only using these shows on 1 channel since multiple networks don't work correctly.



4.I tried making a channel where I interleave episodes over a base show and then added a rule to not play the base show.

Didn't work. no channel showed up.



I'm pretty sure there are other scenarios I've tried, but I cannot recall such. Anyone have any ideas?
