I had a full kodi backup that had ptvl 0.6.2a
and just to see I tried it without upgrading...

Donor activation and features work great.
it still randomly needs reactivation, but at least it works.

when I get a chance I will go through all the commits on github
and figure out what changed after 6.2a that is preventing Donor
access from working.

How can I tell PTV to use the metadata that's there and identify the show?

Flash memory: 4GB NAND

I'm contemplating upgrading from my RPi to a new device. I've been leaning toward a RPi2, but this looks promising. What do you personally think of those specs for running Kodi and, more importantly, PTVL?

How would this work with a personal library of movies, shows, etc? I'm assuming all that would go on a separate external harddrive and connected via USB?

That's one way, another would be network shares (NFS, etc.)

Good question. I have the exact same issue, still hoping for a solution. Will repost on the bug reports thread tomorrow.

Yes I've seen them... But in all honesty I do not own a testing device. So I can't guarantee performance or function. I'd hold off on Wetek purchases till I can get my hands on one.

EDIT: Also, I noticed that a lot of my USTVNow channels have stopped working in PTVL. Is this because of channel name changes in the plugin? I tried changing them to the new names but it still didn't work, so this:

Code:

plugin://plugin.video.ustvnow/?mode=play&name=Fox News Channel

became this:

Code:

plugin://plugin.video.ustvnow/?mode=play&name=FNC

but this still didn't work. Have I missed something? I've gone back a few pages but can't seem to see anything related to it.

(2015-07-12, 21:38)digimars Wrote: Could someone help me with Best-Effort Channel Scheduling?

I have the following setup:
AdultSwim on channel 77
CartoonNetwork on channel 78

The intent is to have the AdultSwim channel NOT show up in the EPG, and only have it play on channel 78 starting at 9 PM every night.

Channel Number: 77
Days of the Week UMTWHFS
Time: 21:00
Episode Count: 20
Starting Episode: 136 (? this seems to randomly change)
Starting Date: 14/07/2015 (? Not what I entered, this seems to randomly change as well)

Here is a snippet from my settings2.xml (Note that this is from the very end of the file):

Code:

<setting id="Channel_78_type" value="0" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_1" value="special://profile/playlists/video/CartoonNetwork.xsp" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rulecount" value="4" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_1_id" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_1_opt_1" value="CartoonNetwork" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_2_id" value="17" />

    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_id" value="3" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_1" value="77" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_2" value="UMTWHFS" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_3" value="21:00" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_4" value="20" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_5" value="136" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_6" value="14/07/2015" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_lastscheduled" value="137" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_2" value="" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_3" value="" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_4" value="" />

Now for some reason, when I put in the start date, it always changes the start date after I save it, and the starting episode (which I assume should be set to "1", I'm not sure as documentation on this particular feature seems scant) gets randomized to some other odd number.

How can I get this feature to work? This is a fully updated OpenELEC Kodi install using PTVL 0.6.4.

Thanks.

couple of features i would like to see in PSTL:

1. when creating a live tv channel from plugin, the channel manager resolve the link/feed, its good in some cases but for free iptv services its usually a problem beacuse the link is changing every day or two, maybe a pointer like in "plugin type" can be done.
2. when my kids watch their movies channel, they like to press "i" and then "right arrow" to see the next movies (they look at the artwork and doesnt read the text), sometimes they can move 20 movies ahead until they find what they want, the problem is they cannot press "enter" to start the movie, the should close the info and start pressing ">" 20 times.
3. sometimes, something happen to the settings file and pstl ask to autotune, usually when it happends to my kids or wife they restart kodi and same shit happends again, but now the settings2 backup also gets deleted, im keeping a backup outside the folder but for the rest maybe its better to let the user choose how many backups to keep.
4. bring back "on demand"! i hate closing PSTL to find a "special request".

thanks.
