Hello Patelhe,
Here is what I have done with Amazon strm files... I have looked into 1Channel but I have not dived into it yet.
Let's say I have a folder filled with strm files for the tv show Big Bang Theory. I would source this folder as videos and set the scraper as TVDB. I would restart XBMC and watch as it scraped the tv show information.
I would then go to the channel configuration in PTV. I then have a few different options. I could setup a TV Show channel that plays just that show or I could setup a network channel putting the network as CBS. I could also setup a smart playlist with that show and setup a channel with a custom playlist.

OK...got the streams to show up in pseudotv...had to uninstall and reinstall it. Is there a way that the stream would autoplay so that I do not have to choose a source like putlocker etc.

My intent was also to show an image besides the text, but that would need additional coding that's beyond me. The current code reads the title, description, path + file name of the video from the playlist file. I'm quite sure that you'll have to write a whole new rule in "Rules.py" that can be used for displaying images other than the channel logos.
With this in place, we could ditch VideoPlayer.Cover in script.pseudotv.TVOverlay.xml. And have the correct cover or fanart displayed when cycling thru previous or upcoming items.

The Amazon plugin is amazing when used with PsuedoTV. However there are a couple problems I have worked out.
When exporting the strm files the Amazon plugin will sometimes not export any of the strm files. To resolve this I noticed when I navigate into the show and view the individual episodes (which downloads information from Amazon) and then back out to export the season this resolves the issue. Kind of a pain but it works.
Amazon doesn't always name the folder of the tv show to the conventions used in TVDB. For instance exporting Battlestar Galactica creates a folder titled Battlestar Galactica '04. Changing the folder name to Battlestar Galactica (2003) allows the scraper to pick it up and import correct tv show information.

I don't see PseudoTV in the XBMC.org Program Add-ons section. Has it been removed? How do I install it?

It is available within XBMC by going to Programs > Get More... I just checked and it appears to still be in there.

There isn't a version that works with Frodo, hence it won't work with a recently updated Rpi or xbmc. You also can't find it in the repo because of this. If you install it manually the script will just fail on run.
I'm still hoping to get an update to Pseudo TV soon

Anyone remember if Jason had anything setup to accept donations? I'd happily donate as a bit of incentive to update PTV.
