Apologies if I offended, it is just difficult to read. I have cut and pasted most of it into a document and moved it around to try to create a cheat sheet. Looks something like this.

Value="0" appears to be playlists

_1, Plugin path, accurate to what you see when navigating the plugin
_2, Exclude list, can be files or directories
_3, File limit (applies to each directory). So 25 will parse 25 files per directory found.
_4, sort order

For now on chtype 15 will parse everything under the directory in _1... so if you point it to a show, example: plugin://plugin.video.sega/TV Shows/Genres/Crime/Criminal Minds
All season folders under that root will be parsed. If you only want season one, you would change _1 to plugin://plugin.video.sega/TV Shows/Genres/Crime/Criminal Minds/Season 01
If you wanted all season but Season 05 you configure _2 to include Season 05

This change will be included in v.0.4.9

All folders must match what is seen on screen exactly. If the plugin uses text colors or symbols you will need to match the appropriate string. If you are unsure, add the folder as a xbmc favorite, then open favorite.xml with a text editor. Use the example found there!
_2" value= '' --- Exclude list, can be files or directories (No spaces, separate with ",")

Direct Playon:

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!

See this is where I'm baffled...

I update the first three posts everytime there is a change... So please point out my assumptions and old not working configuration examples?
