Same problem here. Also the link to the repo show a 404 error.

Which link is returning a 404? Your Kodi is uninstalling my repo after you install it? I'd need a log to tell you why this is happening... as it is not something on my end.

It was the links posted here to both repos. Now it appears to be working.
What if any recommendations to folks have for mixing 4K content with other media resolutions in their channels?  Do you have video settings for adjust refresh to off/always/on start-stop?  Are you getting black screens/short stops briefly when the channel bug appears?  It's one of the reasons I want to disable channels bugs altogether, as the refresh rate must be changing when those appear, and if you dont have that disabled, it messes with playback. 

Trying to get some more stability when adding 4K content into the mix, but I seem to be having a lot of issues when using either my regular windows HTPC, and also with an NVIDIA shield, which I figure is to due to the frequent changes in media resolutions and refresh rates.

Unfortunately, PseudoTV will not behave well with mixed resolution content when Kodi's player is configured to change the refresh rate per media. You can mitigate results by changing refresh start/stop to always on... However, I would recommend disabling refresh rate changes altogether.

As for disabling the channel bug. You can disable all PseudoTV Live overlays in settings... When advanced channel rules are introduced users can disable channel bugs per channel.
v.0.2.3 will include a preview for a new "Recommended" import system. Plugin developers can add support which will allow users to easily import channels to PseudoTV Live. This feature is not limited to "Live" feeds, any plugin can be integrated!

Ok, I'm having a few issues. I attempted to use PseudoTV's Integration feature to add the Pluto TV channels from your new Pluto TV beta addon and despite pointing it to Pluto's xmltv and m3u and I am getting no Guide data (Lunatixz, if you want me to post this on the pluto addon post too, I can but I don't want to spam an issue across multiple places unless you want me to.) I also have attempted to add TV show stations from Popcornflix and they never show up. The Popcornflix movie channels seem to do fine. Channels made from Crackle shows do OK too. 

Here is a log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N_3OUUB...sp=sharing

Let me know if you need me to do anything else to help troubleshoot.

M3U/XMLTV import is broken in the current release, fixed in v.0.2.3... which is pending a release.

As for plugins, they require duration meta in-order to work. Your log doesn't have channel building entries for popcornflix.

Thanks, still no info in logs... can you post your channels.json and I'll test on my end.

Like I said, the movies from PCF do just fine but not tv shows.

On a (sort of) unrelated note, will channel interleaving eventually be a thing by the way?

NP, I'll test all popcornflix channels to be sure. However, I'm still pretty sure the fix will be limited to the video plugin developers' side of things.

Yes, Interleaving is an advanced rule and will be available later in the beta.

It looks like there were two issues going on... First, PseudoTV was ignoring some content believing it was an episode "extra" due to having no season meta. ie Season 0. This is fixed now!
Second, some of your media sources do not include duration meta which is required, you'll have to reach out to the developer and see if they can add this info from the source. 

python:
getDuration; accurate = True, path = plugin://plugin.video.popcornflix/?mode=GV&url=18-cmzo8snmp9np-americas-greatest-unsolved-mysteries-and-crimes-110
2020-11-01 13:22:35.176 T:18880    INFO <general>: plugin.video.pseudotv.live-0.2.2g-Builder: buildFileList, id: 35332e416d6572696361732047726561@PseudoTVLive skipping no duration meta found!
Question for you all. Has anyone managed to get any Pluto TV channels to work? I can add them and they play just fine right after they are added. If I come back to the same channel later I get the message "Coming up later..."
@jctennis FYI "Live" feeds can't be added in this manner...

If you wanted to add PlutoTV's "OnDemand" content, you can via configuration in the channel manager. Each listing is an individual, playable item... Everything else in PlutoTV Plugin is listings for a single live feed.

The good news, In a pending release v.0.2.3 you can easily integrate "Live" feeds from supported plugins... currently supported (PlutoTV, Channels DVR).

As it is, there is only one way to import "Live" feeds with matching meta and that's with an existing m3u/xmltv set.

Hope that helps...
