i think it has something to do with the fact that it is populating AFTER the rest of the shows.
i moved all my channels to higher numbers from 10 and i save the first 10 for interleaving channels

Thanks for the help.

The "Don't play channels" are high numbered 200-62. The base channels are low numbers 1-18. I did manage to get it working by setting the max and min to an integer and adding +1 to every show I was interleaving, I noticed that it seems to happen with channels that have a a lot of different shows. I've read a lot of posts in the last few days and I'll admit it is frustrating trying to sift through 250+ pages to find an answer. Jason102 if I make some basic text instruction files, like how to import Hulu shows and how to interleave channels, would you be willing to post them on the very first page where you download the plugin? Or I could just send you the link to helpful posts (like this one and you could add it to the main page? I think it would help a lot of people and cause a lot less frustration, I know milkmans guide is up there with a lot of info but channel setup post was a tremendous help and I already made a rough guide on how to import Hulu streams that I could "pretty up" and send.

What if pseudotv also can play internet tv channel and justin.tv channel

where we can send suggestion for a future update of this Addon ?


thx

or integrate it with dvb-t units. that would be extreme

I freely admit that I am probably missing something obvious here. I apologize for that now, in advance.

I am mostly trying to follow the PseudoTV bits of Milkman guide, when I have the money I'd like to attempt to do a build according to the hardware described within, but until then I'm trying to make do with an older desktop running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.4 and my iomega 1TB NAS with all my files on it.

I'm not sure if I'm following the PseudoTV Network Manager properly or not. Am I supposed to run the application from a computer with the XBMC profile? Where exactly are these tvshow.nfo stored?

With the old TVTime I used to simply alter everything in XWMM to fit the types of channels I wanted. If a show belonged in RetroTV instead of its usual network I'd edit its studio field in XWMM and be on my way. Not sure if that was good or bad now, but it worked.

Any suggestions pointing out the blindingly obvious in where I am doing it wrong would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've used XWMM myself to edit the studio tags and it works fine. The network manager runs on a windows machine and then you just point it to your shared tv folders. You should first export your library as multiple files so that it adds the relevant .nfo files to the folders where it's missing.

Once that's done, point network manager to the main folder for your shows and it should pick up the relevant info from the nfo files. Once you've made your changes, you will then need to re-import them into your library.

But if you don't want to go through that hassle, you can just as easilly use XWMM and edit the show directly.

That's what I was missing!

Thanks!

I'm going to look at the import export just because it seems like a good way to get a look at everything at once, but I may just go ahead and use XWMM if I have any more issues. Thanks for the help explaining what I was missing. (I knew it was something basic!)

I have a request. You added the season and episode number for TV episodes (thanks, although it seems to be shown twice)... how about adding the year for movies? Most cable and satellite receivers do this and I think it would help complete the feel.

Will pseudotv works on apple tv 1? if so can someone guide me ..

Is their any way of clearing the settings? It freezes on configure channels when I go to load them every single time now.

You can delete the settings2.xml file in your XBMC/userdata/addon_datd/script.pseudotv
