Before making changes to the update-channels-from-git.sh file, I wanted to have everything stored in such a way that it made logical sense where it went. Anything that goes to the root folder is in "main-dir", channel specific files are in "channel-dir", and the files for both sections are in "both-dir". These directories will eventually be referenced in the new version of "update-channels-from-git.sh".
If you'd like to set up multi-channel support using PseudoChannel.py, use these scripts to:
-
Use a remote or Alexa or some device to trigger the channelup.sh/channeldown.sh scripts to cycle through the channels.
-
Setup a "crontab" to run generate-channels-daily-schedule.sh script to automate each PseudoChannel.py to generate the daily schedule.
-
Use, "updatechannels.sh" to update each channels' local db with newly added Plex library items.
-
Use, "manual.sh" to manually trigger a particular channel... i.e.
./manual.sh 9, to switch to channel 9.
All of these scripts need to be placed in the "./channels/" dir. Your directory structure should look something like this:
-channels/
--plex_token.py
--channel_01/
---pseudo-channel.db
---PseudoChannel.py
---...etc.
--channel_02/
---pseudo-channel.db
---PseudoChannel.py
---...etc.
--channel_03/
---pseudo-channel.db
---PseudoChannel.py
---...etc.
--channelup.sh
--channeldown.sh
--generate-channels-daily-schedule.sh
--updatechannels.sh
*Note: this functionality is still being tweaked as are the bash scripts so only attempt this implementation if you are somewhat confident to tinker with bash/crontabs, etc. Or feel free to contact us at github or the discord chat room dedicated to PseudoChannel.tv. Just check the repo for more info.
