(I also using 4.6)

Thank you for all your hard work!

*Edit I saw in the changelog its a known issue to not be the right language, but still would be cool to use the artwork I already have

PseudoTV Live already uses your library images... this was included with v.0.4.6... whatever XBMC uses PTVL uses for your local media... if you see it downloading images its either...for livetv, a plugin or you were missing that image or it wasn't found.

"unable to populate channels. please verify that you have scraped media in your library and that you have properly configured channels."

this is how I have my livetv chans setup - i've only included one chan since everything else is the same except for a few basics. What has changed that is not allowing me to use this configuration that has worked so well in the past? anyhelp is greatly appreciated as I would like to update to get the latest and greatest features and improvements that you have been working so hard on.

forgot to mention I did manual install of 0.4.6 as instructed via twitter.

Still have a guestion about constructing my Drama Channel.
And also I have two channels that are constructed from XBMC smartplaylist, but they doesn't play trailers between shows. Altough I have enabled advanced rule "Enable BTCs"

The only problematic thing for me is the artwork. PTVL no longer seems to use my local artwork anymore but instead downloads it. I have a lot of movies and shows so it will impact the EPG whilst browsing. When looking for artwork there is a 5-10 second pause. I noticed a user mentioning disabling dynamic artwork. I tried this and the EPG is very fast after, but there is no artwork at all.

So from what I have read in recent posts if I am understanding properly, with dynamic artwork enabled PTVL is supposed to use local artwork and if it is not found download from the internet? (Mine seems to be downloading all artwork from the internet)
With dynamic artwork disabled there is no artwork displayed?

[*] Background Artwork Cache Spooling and Downloader (Experimental). If Enabled, PseudoTV Live will spool the artwork cache for faster EPG response.
Please note that missing artwork will be downloaded to the artwork cache folder. You can disable download via "Find missing guide data"

My ....\cache\artwork folder should be empty, but there is already artwork in there that I already have. I am just puzzled to why it seems to be downloading all the artwork, when all artwork should already be available from my library.

If I may make a suggestion. How about when you set the Background Artwork Cache Spooling and Downloader to on all artwork is disabled (dynamic art disabled) until it has completed. This would mean that the guide will be fast at all times, even if the updater is not complete.

PTVL has been running for a few hours now and I have yet to be notified that it has completed the background artwork. Maybe the current method used will take a LOT longer for me since I have a freakishly big library.

Please correct me if I have got anything wrong and as always keep up the excellent work Luna and everyone else who has contributed. PTVL keeps getting better and better!

Edit:

I have just noticed background spooling occurs outside PTVL, It runs but an error comes up a few seconds later. Will post a log if this keeps occuring.
