I have written a new channel called Webisodes. It is a channel to hold your favorite web series from different sources on the Internet. It will work with YouTube playlist and user uploads, Vimeo shows, and RSS Feeds (as long as there is an existing Plex URL service or there are links to the video files on the feed page). I have added two shows from each source by default, just to show you how the program works. It allows you delete shows and add a new show with just the URL address.
The channel is available through the Unsupported Appstore
The Unsupported Appstore is currently unable to update changes, so any updates will have to be manually downloaded from the Github site at https://github.com/shopgirl284/Webisodes.bundle
PLEASE READ THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT URL FORMAT FOR ADDING SHOWS. I have included these instructions in the user entry instructions text file in the Contents folder and the README file on GitHub. I will also post these instructions in a separate post below.
ROKU USERS: The Remoku web site http://remoku.tv/ makes it very easy for Roku users to copy and paste URLs. Since the current version of the Plex app for Roku does not support user input in channels, you can only add shows/URLs using the Classic version of the app. But both versions will allow you to browse and watch videos once a show/URL is added.
Plex/Web users must use the new http://plex.tv/web/app interface to paste urls using the search window (see full instructions below)
UPDATES AND CHANGES

Know Client Issues and Limitations:
Roku app - Since the current version of the Plex app for Roku does not support user input in channels, you can only add shows/URLs using the Classic version of the app. But both versions will allow you to browse and watch videos once a show/URL is added.
Plex/Web (aka Media Manager) - Plex/Web does not allow user entry so it will not show the add show icons. Therefore, you can watch videos you have added from another client, but you cannot add shows using Plex/Web.
You can now copy and paste the url address of a new feed you would like to add into the search box at the top of the screen to add the channel. You must be within the directory for the type of show you would like to add. For example if you opened of the video directory which shows all of your currently installed video feeds, then you can paste the url of the new feed you would like to add in the search box of that page. A dialog box will appear and tell you that the rss feed has been added.
Also because Plex/Web pulls from the cache and only updates once a day, unless you clear the cache of your web browser, changes you make to the Webisode channel will not show up for up to 24 hrs.
