How can I set the default language to english for Psuedo TV. Some of my rips I didn't know what I was doing and ripped Russian as the main track and english as the secondary. ;( Any help on this would be great.
@ tdhz77
IF You use frodo
you can go to appearance setting >> international

They should play in PTV..I have tons of stuff I captured to Divx from VHS back in the day and many of those are 240p. (320 x 240)

Make sure the index on them isn't broken. It could be the file-type. Stuff like 3GP and WEBM files don't function properly for me in PTV.
on Frodo

Having an issue with loading a channel

channel 200 never loads
and it has 3 of those generated playlists inside it.
Why can't it parse it?

I am having a problem in which Psuedotv gets stuck at 12% when first running. Runing the newest pre-build (2.1.0) on frodo. Any workaround?

Looking around, it looks like it may be bcause I have some m2ts files. Any way to stop PTV from adding those?

I've been trying to post this in the PseudoTV section of the forum but it will NOT (for some strange reason) allow me to post it there. It keeps saying I'm over the 85 character limit. ANY help would be MOST appreciated as I think this addon is brilliant.

(MOD Edit: Merged into main PseudoTV thread here. Also shortened thread title to avoid error message)

But isnt that for a single channel? Or can I somehow have that apply to my entire library before PTV loads and creates the channels?

Yeah it's per playlist\channel -- but, i've found that's really the only way to make a 'good' channel with PTV.

You'll find many other reasons, besides this situation, where a playlist is necessary. -Making a studio channel -for example- and getting 12 animation movies in a roll -or- making a "Family" channel for kids and having half of the decent PG or soft PG-13 missing.


In my opinion and experience (with my content quantity), PTV isn't being used to its full potential without complex and well-designed playlists.

My Quantity for reference:
~2,500 Movies
~1,000 TV Shows

People that have a lot more than this probably wouldn't notice the problems with generic playlists as much.
There's an issue with adding specific shows to a channel when you have a large library (i think)

The issue is when you navigate through your list of shows mine only shows A-L on shows starting from the begginning and pressing forward through the list.
Then I start at Z and go backwards I can go Z-P
this leaves showing starting with M-O that can't be added via the in XBMC GUI. Using a 3rd party channel creator I was able to add the shows I wanted.

This makes me believe that over a certain amount of show titles, it will simply not show them all.
Since this has disappeared...quickly, is it possible for a mod to move it to the right section? And no, I STILL can't post it there myself.

Are you trying to use it with XBMC Frodo 12 or Eden 11? Since there's no httpapi in Frodo you get:
"Unimplemented method: executehttpapi::XBMCAddon::xbmc::executehttpapi"

I'm trying to use it with Frodo, sorry I didn't specify that, thanks.
Hi, hopefully somebody could help me out. I am having trouble getting Hulu streams to work in PTV. I have the streams exported into the library and they work fine but PTV never picks them up. I can get Amazon streams to be picked up fine and put on the proper stations but never the Hulu streams. I can watch them from the library but never PTV. Any help would be great. Thanks!
