Turn off background updating if you have it enabled and enable "Reset channels on next start". For some reason if background updating is enabled it'll stop working properly. At least it fixed the issue for me.

I also noticed you get a black screen. Can you still hear the audio or does XBMC hang? A black screen might also indicate a problem in the PseudoTV skin. Grab a debug log and have a look for errors associated with PseudoTV or post a link here.

1) the setting to "enable icelibrary streams" has somehow been dissociated with the actual function
2) frodo uses something new to play .strm files and doesnt retrieve the duration properly or in a manner that PTV expects to get it
3) there is a list of file types PTV will play and .strm has been removed from that list

i think i have a halfway decent understanding of how this program works, and these are the only reasons i can come up with for why .strm support would be broken now.

i looked through all the python files on github and from what i can tell the icelibrary setting is being correctly applied and used, so i think #1 can be ruled out. however i dont see anything in the code that would handle the .strm files, the parser code seems to just handle these types:
self.AVIExts = ['.avi']
self.MP4Exts = ['.mp4', '.m4v', '.3gp', '.3g2', '.f4v', '.mov']
self.MKVExts = ['.mkv']
self.FLVExts = ['.flv']
so its possible that its #3 except github shows the relevant code hasnt been edited for 6 months and it worked shorter than 6 months ago.

which leaves #2, i have no idea how xbmc handles calls from python scripts or what may have changed with frodo, so i cant really offer any help there. someone with more expertise than me should definitely have a look at the PTV source on github though and double check what i said here is correct.

i dont know c++, but i think its treating .strm files as playlists? perhaps its supposed to be like that because they play through addons, i dont know. im just wading through pages of github search results for "strm" in the xbmc repo.

I've noticed in these channels it's only showing the file name and not the episode name or info on the EPG. Sucks because I don't have the show names in my file names so I don't know what the show is on t he EPG. The network or movie channels on the EPG show the show name and info. I've been searching these forums and have noticed other people had this problem, but no one has addressed it. Does anyone know how to fix this so that my playlist and directory channels look like the network channels on the EPG?

Directory channels don't have show name info because PseudoTV is pulling the video file directly from the folder so there isn't going to be any metadata associated with those files. There isn't any way around this unless Jason adds in .nfo parsing support for directory channels which would be a pain in ass IMO.

Anyways XBMC noob here. Could you please tell me how to change the exit process to include the stop function?

If you're using the latest stable-pre version of PseudoTV in conjunction with Eden then you're using the wrong version. Jason recently removed support for Eden so this might be the cause of your issues. I'd suggest rolling back to the master release, which should be Eden-ready, or update XBMC to Frodo.
