You need to understand that on my end PTVL runs smoother than silk!
There are so many reason why your setup could be slow, But you aren't the first to ask, so you will need to backtrack through the forum, and read my FAQ to help narrow down your problem.

I can say that if you are running a custom skin, or running on a low power device make sure to use my skins and to set the OS PTVL setting to the proper device. PTVL has a "Lowpower" mode that reduces features to enhance performance.

What do you mean by smoother than silk? I would agree PTVL runs great the majority of the time, but i can't deny there is slight delay when scrolling up and down the guide. this being a guide with no images, default PTVL skin only 10 items per channel and only 20 channels to test. If i hold down my remote it just cant scroll through the list in real time fast enough. You can scroll through an entire 100+ channels within 10 seconds without delay? I suppose I can investigate sources of delay, but the rest of KODI scrolls through menus fine and i have no more features to turn off. I don't doubt it could just be my system is slow i'm on a 5 year old Core2Quad with 8 GB ram, but this should be plenty fast for parsing and presenting graphical xml data. I don't exactly have a benchmark to compare to of videos of people zipping through the menus of PTVL.

"Dynamically Create a list" isn't possible, This isn't how PTVL works... PTVL creates channels only when you startup, or at given intervals when you have settop mode enable.



To avoid confusion please refer to PseudoTV Live as such, or PTVL. But not PseudoTV its a different plugin

As for the rest of this, its silly... I understand you are new... So I suggest you play and learn, this plugin does almost all of what you want and are asking... and before you can reply asking how?

All I can tell you is I can't induvalily help everyone here... which I think is a major issue for some of you who for some reason expect one on one help, Not speaking to you just generalizing.

I'm not asking for individual help.
My account may be new but i've been running XBMC for a bit over 2 years and PTVL for the better part of a year. I'm asking about a feature i've never seen discussed, and yes i've searched and researched and even looked at the code. (Which By the way isn't made easier when 90% of the hits i get on searches related to problems I have had lead the the answer "use the search feature" lol) Believe me I've done my due diligence,

Perhaps Dynamically creating a list isn't the correct phrase as i don't want the channels to be different every time PTVL opens, just their content which will be updated individually every hour based on what the addon has available. But I don't see how this is silly..
I just want a few channels reserved to each play an item in a folder that may or may not exist, that I don't know what the file is called. The dynamic part comes in as you said as i need background updating to update the channel every 2 hours or so, Yes i know that is possible. In my experience with PTVL most of the channel types work by pointing to a direcotry or playlist of files, and creating a channel by merging the files together. I know of no way to do the opposite, and make a channel for each and every individual file in a directory.

I cannot simply make a channel for each of the items that occurring live at that time, because the next live event will not have the same stream URL, so as soon as that event has completed the channel is broken, I need the background updater to keep up to date with the live events that the addon has available and populate them 1 to 1 to the EPG. I don't need dynamic channel allocation as I can just have channels reserved for this purpose.

I mean feel free get angry with me but I haven't found anything related to asking for this on either here or HUB forums or any documentation.
