PLANNING NETWORK CHANNELS
The PseudoTV Network Manager
Optional Step before we begin:
How to create these files:
This is tedious...
The PseudoTV Network Manager should be included with this PDF.
You need to extract the Zip file to a folder on your PC, and then run the program.
Make sure your Microsoft Visual C++ Libraries are installed (included in the folder)
If it’s not installed you might get errors and have trouble starting the program.
The PseudoTV Network Manager has a small “Info box” that shows you what Network logo
is encoded into the series (if any).
This is important because some TV-Shows might have a <studio> tag of “CBS” because it
was originally aired on it, yet have a logo of “City TV” in the AVI files because that is where
the actual videos were recorded from.
If you want to make it easier for yourself when deciding which channel what series should
go to, it’s a good idea to create a few small NFO files that will enable the PseudoTV Network
Manager to display this info to you.
(Unfortunately it cannot “see” which logos are encoded into the videos by itself)
1) Open a few avi’s of a particular show and check for a logo encoded into the videos.
2) Write the name of the logo into notepad, for example “CBS”
- You may write out “None” if you don’t see any logo’s.
- You may also write multiple names down, if multiple logo’s are present, eg: “CBS/FOX”
3) Save this file as”logo.nfo” in the same folder as the “tvshow.nfo” file.
Tip: Copy that file and paste it into the next folder, and simply edit it for the next series.
It is, but you only need to do it once.
However, If you think a “CityTV” logo displaying on your CBS channel isn’t a big deal, feel
free to skip this optional step and move to the next page.
