Joined by the author of [Fake TV](https://medium.com/@Fake.TV), this project aims at tackling one issue: creating a fake tv channel experience with your own media library (movies, tv shows, commercials, etc.). The idea is super simple... when you turn on your TV, rather than hopping straight to Netflix, you can choose to watch your own channel of curated media like a real channel, with randomized movie time blocks, weekend morning cartoons, 90's commercials to fill up gaps and more. We aim to add a ton of neat features but the basic idea is to have something that feels like a real TV channel. That being said it isn't supposed to "pause" nor are you supposed to intervene too much. Just like a real channel you are presented with a channel that you define once and let it go as it advances in series episodes, playing random movies where specified (defined by various parameters like genre, "Kevin Bacon", etc.). Think: weekday movie nights @ 8:00 PM. Or perhpas you want to further specify your weekly Wednesday evening movie be a movie in your Plex library that stars "Will Smith". Currently the latter feature among many others are being developed but this is the goal. PseudoChannel is built to interface with the Plex media server. So if you want to have your very own PseudoChannel, you first need to set up your home server using [Plex](https://www.plex.tv/). After that you can come back here to learn how to setup everything else. Please note that we just started this project so everything is evolving rapidly. Check back often. We aim to have a decent working "alpha" version within a week or so. This readme / the how-to guide will all be very user friendly. Although this app runs using Python and the command line, we aim to make all of it as easy as possible to understand for those who are intimidated by this sort of technology.
