Works great. Thank you for providing the sample files.

It appears that the resolution of the HGTV shows are not meant for full screen viewing, but I understand the format of the files now.

Wait, so all my .properties files should be created and updated automatically based on what is available in my PlayOn server? Cause that is not happening for me. Is there a newer version or something I don't have? I just followed the install based on EP's first post in the main thread.

No, not all .properties files for all PlayOn content. The only .properties files that will be updated are the ones evilpenguin creates and updates for us, which covers much of the default base PlayOn content like Hulu and Netflix. I think evilpenguin has all of his .properties files on his google code download page and UPnP2Podcast will download those for you automatically and check for updates periodically so you don't have to keep coming back here to manually update those .properties files.

The updates only cover what evilpenguin has created .properties files for, so not all plugins/scripts will be updated automatically.

100% correct, I updated the first post to reflect that.

I just downloaded the Food Network plugin but the feeds do not seem to be pulling any videos.

Ok, apparently the Food Network plugin hasn't been working properly in quite some time. Someone else has apparently developed a scripting engine plugin for PlayOn and there is apparently a working way to get the Food Network content through it. Although I have yet to be successful with it.

Does anyone have any tips on how to script generation of these .properties files? It's getting tedious creating these things by hand, especially with some of the overkilled directory structures seen in uPnP Inspector.
