The case for PseudoTV (and better music video support):
Using DizqueTV + Xteve + Zap2XML with and HDhomerun OTA, I am able to ‘hack’ a solution that enables what I want Plex to do natively.
Basically using XTeve to merge the EPG from Zap2it + DisqueTV and create dummy schedules to be the source for the XMLTV for Plex manually.
Then adding each Tuner, selecting which source owns the stream to prevent a possible double (or even triple) encoding of streams.
One of the biggest limitations with this solution is not being able to share the PseudoTV channels outside the local network without adding to home. Another other is the balance of managing this solution with all the different components, it can easily get messed up - but when it works, it’s makes me happy.
I have also tested with Locast2Plex as well, and it can work with this method. Just didn’t need the same channels listed since I have an OTA.
For those interested, the metadata from the music videos was mostly pulled from IMDB using a third party software that creates a nfo file, then used XBMCnfoMoviesImporter. Those that were not found were manually created with information from wikipedia.
