Hey guys, first post.

My XBMC is rock solid with tv shows, movies, music videos, home movies and iTunes Library. Running Gotham 13.2. As of late I have moved to 'live tv', and first tackled the OTA part, using a HDHomeRun (not prime) and NextPVR. Could not believe how easy it was and it too, is rock solid. Just loving it. Then, I added F.T.V (with a subscription) and USTVNow (with login, but not subscription) and was watching both with their addon. Then I discovered the "new" FTVGuide in the KINKIN repo, and it works great.

But then, I found PseudoTV Live and I realized this was the center of the wheel. This is where is all got bogged down. Like another poster said, trying to weed through old instructions, assumptions, and shortcuts I am at a loss to get running anything that I want. I can autotune some stuff in, but not what I am trying to do. For example, if NextPVR works fine, why can't I just add that to PTVL? it is already configured with TV Guide via SchedulesDirect. Should I not be able to "autotune PVR" and have that work?

Don't get me wrong, my tone is (I hope) one of appreciation! Also, I have been trying to build my own cheat sheet that tells me all the _type" value="x" possibilities and all the parameters for each. I know the grand design is to not need to edit settings2 however to make it the *exact* way I want it I wish to do it via settings2.

Finally, some up-to-date examples of good, working settings2 files would be very much appreciated.

You guys are the best!

Manually editing settings2.xml is definitely the way to go right now. Keep reading and re-reading the first three posts. There is a ton of info there and I notice something new every time I read them. I had a lot of trouble at first but I'm slowly starting to get this working.

Also if you go to the community list link on the main page and browse there are some settings in there for links, etc. They are not in settings2.xml format but they are a start. A separate thread for sharing actual settings2.xml configurations would definitely be awesome though, and likely more easily accessible than the community list.
