Good catch and thanks for pointing that out. That'll teach me to code at 4 in the morning.

Is it possible to make a smart playlist open an addon?
It would be great to have nickjr,cbs,cnn etc on this

Not currently.

Can you share all of your channel icons with us?

Channel icons are included in the zip file found at the beginning of this thread.

That zip has 6 of them, but none of the rest shown here:

I just installed PseudoTV and created 5 smart playlists in XBMC with the file names "channel_1" to "channel_5" and then added <name>something<name> to the created .xsp files. Then I copied the files of this mod into my refocus folder and fired up XBMC and went into psueodtv. After a minute or so the scanning was done and an episode started playing. But when I hit enter to get into the EPG I see all 5 channels but only channel 1 has the correct name and only channel 1 shows a real EPG. But then I'm stuck and I can't do anything anymore (except pause/unpause). I have to kill XBMC using the task manager. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry about that. I'll upload the whole set and update the first post with a link to the zip file.

Can you upload a debug log to pastebin and, if possible, zip the playlists you're working with so I can make sure they aren't the problem.

I'm not sure why you're needing to add in the <name> tag. That is possible from within XBMC. Set the name of the channel to whatever you like, go about configuring the filters, and when you hit OK, in the dialog that appears enter your "Channel_#" filename.

Also, I don't know if it's necessarily needed but try setting the filenames of the playlist to "Channel_1", "Channel_2", so that that it's a capital C. This will help me narrow things down.

Didn't have time to check the debug log earlier but took a look at it now and I think it has to do with XBMC not knowing all the durations of the movies / episodes.

On my screen the "Edit Playlist" dialog seems a bit messed up which is why I didn't see the field for the Playlist name. I thought it should be there but then I thought maybe it was forgotten.

They are already named "Channel_1.xsp" etc sorry for the typo in my previous post.

I'll try to create a playlist containing only files with known durations and when that works I know what is wrong with the rest. Otherwise I'll get back. Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Ok it seems to be the duration. Removed all playlists but the first and now I can navigate in the EPG etc. But I still can't leave the PseudoTV plugin. I can switch between the video player and the EPG but nothing more. ESC and Backspace don't work. Only the "S" key works to bring up the home menu. But when I e.g. choose "Movies" in the home menu from the "S" key I can't navigate in there. I'll investigate further.
