Now my next hurdle is the USTVNOW plugin, I can save the channels as favorites and select the channels in TV Guide to the correct program/station, however I've noticed now that the USTVNOW favorites are only valid for a 24 hour period, after that period they will need to be reselected and again assigned to the TV Guide channels. The end result is that it is a non working solution.

Now I wonder if we can do the same as done for the FilmOn plugin

To use the USTVNOW plugin from TV Guide, add the following code at the end of default.py, just before the last line which should read: Addon.end_of_directory()
You will find default.py in the plugin.video.ustvnow directory.

elif mode=='play':
name = Addon.plugin_queries['name']
try:
stream_type = 'rtmp'
channels = []
quality = int(Addon.get_setting('quality'))
channels = ustv.get_channels(quality,stream_type)
for c in channels:
if c['name'] == name:
print "URL = "+c['url']
print "setResolvedUrl"
item = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=c['url'])
xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(int(sys.argv[1]), True, item)
except:
pass



Then, setup a .strm file containing the following line:
plugin://plugin.video.ustvnow/?name=ABC&mode=play

You can use ABC, CBS, NBC, CW, FOX, PBS, My9 (note case sensitivity) for the free channels. The resolution will follow whatever is set in settings for USTVNOW. I use mc2xml set to a harrisburg, pa zip code to get the .xml for listings.

For some reason the indentations on the code above don't show correctly, but if you 'quote' the post you'll see the proper indents or if you know python you can figure it out.

This is great, exactly whay I needed, thank you!!!

Have a problem with the code, I get the following script error:

Error Contents: ('invalid syntax', ('C:\\Users\\Sony\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\addons\\plugin.video.ustvnow\\default.py', 84, 7, ' for c in channels:\n'))

So I must be doing some thing wrong with inserting the code


Update, figured it out working like a champ!!!!

Many thanks my friend!!!

One file pulls from one source, while the other form a completely different one. It's impossible to combine the two sources as teh XMLTVFormat DTD only allows for one tv tag.

Any bright ideas out there?

i use mc2xml to combine two xml See Tutorial here and here

basically among other option use option -I to combine two xml example:

mc2xml.exe -c gb -g "W1D 3RW" -C uk.chl -F -a -A -D uk.dat -I tvguide2.xml -o tvguide.xml
