Hi Tommy,

Love your TV Guide!!! I have it working for several stations from different plugins where I can use the favourite option. But I would like to have it working with the Filmon plugin and as you are probably aware the favourites are not PlayMedia. So you have mentioned before that an other option is to use the add on feature but I believe a channel list will need to be set up and need help by doing this.
I assume you have access to the Filmon plugin or maybe you have already tried this, I know last October somebody else requested this.

Thanks for your help

Hans

I'm testing your last build and it works much more perfect. I haven't mentioned before that I cannot remove strm from channels at version 1.3.96 (I don't know how it looks like at 1.3.98) but now it gives me this possibility without errors. It works better with streams from LiveStreams 1.0.9, so I can change channels without freezing, stuttering and internal player errors, but there occurs some exceptions. It works like a lottery - I switch to next channel - it's viewing me it or minimalize to live view thumbnail and back me to the top of channels list.

Error which I wrote earlier is probably caused by Weeb.TV 0.1.21 BETA Add-on (most of the streams I take from its favorites). I'm getting the same error when I'm opening stream from XBMC Favorites Menu (outside TVGuide). Otherwise, this problem is similiar to PolishTV Live 0.3.0 (from repository.sd-xbmc.org-1.0.1).

And this "Open streaming..." dialog window which is annoying all of us is directry related with other addons not yours, at all.

PS. After all, XBMC crashed twice a time during use TVGuide (only this version). And I was able to configure keys in remote from my NOTONLYTV LV5TDELUXE specially for TV Guide, so its handling becomes more comfortable.

I would also love to see your amazing TV Guide integrate the Filmon Addon if possible. However i'm currently using the lastest build 1.3.98 of your app and having some issue? Once i have exited from the addon it wont let me load it up again it also seems to be affecting the ability to exit from xbmc on my atv2 not 100% on this but have tested not running the addon and i'm able to shut down fine if i run the addon and then try and shut down just freezes!!!
thanks for your hard work great addon

awesome, thanks!
I can only add this as a workaround though as it breaks the OSD in the TV Guide though, but I think this will solve a lot of problems for a lot of people Smile

I think this fixes things because you're using xbmc.Player().play() instead of the setResolvedUrl() method.
Generally plugin.video.* addons shouldn't use the xbmc.Player() at all. Let me know if you need help with this.

I'll add the filmon plugin list as well.

If you go to the link I put up and change filmonlist.txt

To gui.py

And download it i have put an if statement in there

RE: [RELEASE] TV Guide - with XMLTV and streaming support - twinther - 2013-01-24

Thanks, yeah, I have made something similar.

Latest test version is here and includes the fixes from mikey1234
http://tommy.winther.nu/script.tvguide-20130124.zip

To make the FilmOn and probably other plugins (polish tv?) work with the TV Guide, you must go to settings and enabled the "Use alternate streaming method".

I didn't test this version a whole lot, but the FilmOn fix works quite well for me at least.
Let me know how it works for you guys.

RE: [RELEASE] TV Guide - with XMLTV and streaming support - spyder - 2013-01-24

I must have missed something here. Is there somewhere to get an xml epg file for Filmon channels? If not, how does TV Guide create 'empty' channels to add the streams to?

RE: [RELEASE] TV Guide - with XMLTV and streaming support - maly95 - 2013-01-24

Confirm the ATV2 with PolishTV plug works well. Just noticed that after the installation of a problem with being out of xbmc. Tag is wired all the time.

You have to create them

It's easy

RE: [RELEASE] TV Guide - with XMLTV and streaming support - maly95 - 2013-01-24

After much testing I notice that there is a problem with the output from an open stream on ATV2 earlier in PolishTV. This makes it possible to exclude xbmc.

RE: [RELEASE] TV Guide - with XMLTV and streaming support - Bobian - 2013-01-24

Still not working Sad

open stream make me sick

It's easy

I have used mc2xml, I prefer zap2xml(better match for OTA sub-channels). I'm guessing I would just create a channel number and give it a name that the xml grabber can't recognize so it doesn't find a match and fill in the epg info. Correct? I think I would have to use mc2xml for this, since I don't see a way to make a .chl file for zap2xml. Unless there some type of xml file combining tool?
