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

butchabay · 2011-11-28 00:52

I'll try to explain my problem here, as i really don't what's causing following bug:

Skins:
cirrus extended v2 SVN
Rapier SVN
Fusion Migma

If i start ptv from the addon section everything's ok, but when i start the script by favourites, exiting ptv let loose focus on home menu and can't navigate anymore. Have to close xbmc (ctrl alt delete)

I've tried the same with following skins and everything's working as excepted:

Aeon Nox SVN
reFocus
Simplicity SVN

Running latest nightly on win 7.

Anyone an idea what could be the problem?

Thanx in advance.

I don't think the new versions work with SMB shares. Whenever I try to run the stable pre I get the "Unable to populate channels" message. Version 1.2.1 works fine though.)

In the log I see this:

Code:

This file does exist/is scanned into the library/and xbmc can play it just fine. Running that path from my ubuntu box works fine as well.

Here's the complete debug log:

Good to know, but I'm not doing any of that. What strikes me about these problems is that they're consistently reproducible on all of my machines across multiple OS's and even different versions of XBMC. I don't know what would be so unique about my systems that would give me these bugs and nobody else. Especially when my systems differ from each other. The only other thing I can think of is that I'm using a mysql central db and not the default sqlite. Anyone else using PTV with mysql?

butchabay: You're seeing some odd skin issue...I can't fix this in PTV. You might want to ask this same question in one of the threads specific to one of those skins.

mcorcoran: You say that 1.2.1 works fine...did you also use 1.2.1 in Eden? I fully expect that SMB shares won't work in Eden in anything except Windows. This was a change in Eden that I'm not a big fan of, but one I also haven't figured out a way around.

RockDawg: I'm using a central MySQL server, so that's not the problem. Are you doing any channel sharing by chance? If you are, try a single machine without it to see if you still have the problem.

RockDawg · 2011-11-28 19:05

No, I'm not doing any channel sharing. I disabled that since you said it wouldn't work in Linux due to the Samba issues.

@jason102
I think i've found the problem, it's ofcourse skin related, i'll test and report back. Thanx anyway.

I've tried out the IceLibrary thing, and it appears that some code that I put in to check for errors is the thing causing problems. I don't want to get rid of the code, so I need some way to turn it off when trying to play a stream. Anyway, I'll figure that out.

Can someone else test this to make sure they are seeing IceLibrary work properly? Just edit resources/lib/Overlay.py. Look for:

Code:

if self.notPlayingCount == 3:

    self.end()

    return

Put the pound sign (#) in front of each line:

Code:

# if self.notPlayingCount == 3:

#    self.end()

#    return

If that fixes the issue, I can look into make some sort of permanent solution.

Hi, I gave that a try but unfortunately it didn't work for me, PsuedoTV still stops when I try to change channel. I am using Transparency SVP, a recent nightly build and Icelibrary with a premium Megaupload account.

Hope you can fix this problem, having Icelibrary and PTV working together would truly make an unbeatable TV experience!
