How To Install:
1. Download the zip file. The files are versioned, so download the latest version.
2. Optional: Download PseudoTV channel image pack. The files are versioned so download the latest version.
3. Unzip the PseudoTV_Channel_Pack file to your video playlist folder.
4. Optional: Unzip the PseudoTV_Image_Pack file to your ~/AppData/Roaming/XBMC/addons/script.PseudoTV/resources/images folder.
4. Select the channels you want to use from the Pseudo-TV Channels (Channel_X) and rename them to Channel_1.xsd, Channel_2.xsd, etc. to build your own channel listing. Once Jason102 updates his script to ignore/skip empty playlists, then no modifications should be required. Just unzip and you are done.
PseudoTV Channel Kit:
The Channel Kit provides over 600 predefined playlists which you can use to create your own channel listing. You can mix and match playlists by using a “mixed” playlist.
The following mixed playlist would get 10 action and adventure TV episodes followed by an action movie, then an adventure movie, 10 more action and adventure TV episodes, followed by another action movie and an adventure movie.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="mixed">
<name>Action and Adventure Channel</name>
<match>one</match>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-10-action-and-adventure-episodes.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-action-movie.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-adventure-movie.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-10-action-and-adventure-episodes.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-action-movie.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-adventure-movie.xsp</rule>
</smartplaylist>
The mixed playlist will appear in that exact order giving you more control on the sequence of shows in the playlist. If you want to randomize the playlist after the list has been compiled, include the <order>.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="mixed">
<name>Action and Adventure Channel</name>
<match>one</match>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-10-action-and-adventure-episodes.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-action-movie.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-adventure-movie.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-10-action-and-adventure-episodes.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-action-movie.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">get-adventure-movie.xsp</rule>
<order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>
How To Install:
1. Either download the PseudoTV_Channel_Kit zip file or download the specific playlists you want from the library folder.
2. Copy the playlists to your video playlist folder.
3. Create a new “Mixed” playlist in XBMC and select the playlist you want to use in the channel. Remember to name your channel files Channel_1,Channel_2, etc.
To Do:
1. Still working on what is the best number of items for each channel. This is subjective so I may include different channels with different limits, i.e. 25 items, 50 items, 100 items, etc.
2. Need to add HD Movie channels to Pseudo-TV Channels. Just ran out of time for this release.
Acknowledgments:
@Jason102 for making the PseudoTV add on
@Sranshaft for his work on the reFocus skin and I also used a couple of his PseudoTV images in my PseudoTV Image Pack (Animation, Comedy, and Kids channels)
Version Guide:
02-04-2011
1. Simplified playlists and streamlined back to single playlist for each channel. Now there is just one zip file to unzip.
2. Added channel images for reFocus skin.
02-05-2011
