Channel Manager

Advanced Channel Rules

• Advanced Channel rules are channel specific, they override global rules which are the default rules for all channels. However, Smart-Playlistscontain their own set of rules that superseded all others. Hierarchy example: Smart-Playlist Rules ─> Advanced Channel Rules -> Global Channel Rules.

• When assigning channel rules keep in mind the "ID" number associated with the rule is in sequential order with rule order. Lowest rule ids run first then to highest. This may come into play when stacking multiple rules.

Multi-Room

PseudoTV Live must be installed on all instances of Kodi.

• Bonjour (ZeroConf) - When enabled and while running PseudoTV, other instances of PseudoTV will be detected over your local network. Enable them via "Select Servers". PseudoTV Live will configure Kodi's PVR backend (IPTV Simple) automatically. This method allows each instance its own channel lineup which are then share between all instances and is the recommended method for multi-room.

• Manual - Manually configure each instance of Kodi/PseudoTV for multi-room.

  1. Multi-Lineups - Manually configure each instance of Kodi's PVR backend (IPTV Simple) with the "Server Status" information of the instance you want to share.

  2. Single-Lineup - Designate a "Server" instance of PseudoTV Live that will contain your channel configurations and be responsible for building lineups. Configure with a "Centralized file location" then in each "Client" instance configure Kodi's PVR backend (IPTV Simple) with the files found in your centralized file location.
