NewsPublisher. It should handle your TVs with no trouble. It calls the resource/create processor, so you can put further processing in a plugin if you need to.
Thanks Bob. I have not looked into NewsPublisher yet but, I came up with a solution that grabs the resId URL parameter, feeds that to pdoResources and then injects the option selected status into the select element via placeholder. If anyone is interested, I will post how I did this.
