My final advice for you... disable all addons except for PTV (testing purposes only), check your xsp and ptv channel settings again... and yes adding a playcount greater then 0 would help since your telling the playlist to make sure everything that was played is included!! Also you said you are using a playlist channel what do you mean by that? Do you mean you created a playlist... or do you mean you setup PTV and it created a playlist (two different things!).

Additionally, like I said, I inquired about this very issue and Hitcher (who, if you don't know, is an extremely skilled skinner) told me that the addon needs to supply all labels and images to XBMC and I'm assuming he knows what he's talking about.

I was wondering if anyone would mind brainstorming with me on a certain programming setup I am trying to pull off. I'm trying to set up sequential programming blocks, similar to stuff like Toonami, Adult Swim, or Saturday Morning Cartoons. For example, I would like to set up a Toonami block to air on my Cartoon Network channel from 4:00 - 7:00 pm. Currently I pull this off simply enough by creating a Toonami channel then "best-efforting" that in at around 4:00 for about 18 episodes (9 episodes @ 22min each + one bumper between each episode = ~3.3hours). Which works well enough, but I would like to schedule some more specific programming. Thanks. I thought that might be the basics of what I was going to have to do, but my goal is still more complicated than that. I'm not just trying to order a few shows, and then add bumpers. It will be shows, bumpers specific for each show and season, general bumpers, intros and outros. So I can't just interleave a channel of bumpers into a channel of shows, because I want X folder of bumpers interleaved into X season of X show, and do the same setup for Y bumpers and Y season of Y show etc, then interleave each of those into another channel that I can then"best-effort" into the timeframe I want it to. My problem is that this setup only really works for shows if I work with them one season at a time. And I want to do entire series at a time. I just don't think there is a way to specify Y bumpers to go with Y season, and X bumpers to go with X Season. Which would mean that (unless I make a m3u manually) I have to make a channel for each season of each show, which doesn't work because there is no way to trigger a different channel to fill ones place in an interleave once it has run through the playlist. If you remove my desire to specify what bumpers go when, the only problem I really have is still ordering the main channel once the hidden subchannels are built. I still want to choose which bumps go where. The best way I can think to do this, would be if I had the ability to choose how many videos are interleaved each time. Similar to how best effort scheduling works. If I could say, on channel 2, every 3 episodes interleave 3 episodes of channel 1. I could almost build exactly what I am trying to do fairly easily. How difficult would adding that sort of functionality to the pseudoTV rules be? Add Episode Count in there with Min, max, and Episode Start.

PTV already does a lot but requires manual settings, what your asking is can it be made less involved on the user end... I'm sure one day when PTV starts to get old and gray it will be polished to the point of toggling a few settings... for now, I don't see why you can't get what you want with some work on your end... Tips to remember, It's easier to manipulate media when it's scraped into XBMC's library... so you might want to create nfo's for your bumpers, ads, etc and name them in a sequential order that would be reminiscent to tv shows ie. s00e00 from there a mix of custom playlists, interleaved channels would give you what you want... RE: [RELEASE] PseudoTV Addon: Virtual EPG and TV Channel Surfing Script - McGuywer - 2013-06-25 Thanx Lunatixz Helpfull as always!!! Thanx Lunatixz Always very helpfull!!

And honestly you are coming across as a pompous know-it-all in the way you are responding. Which is moreso humorous because you really don't understand what I am talking about at all. What I am asking doesn't make PTV "less involved", it makes it more intuitive, and adds another customization option to one of the rule sets (by including something that already exists one place, in another). What I am asking is if the "Episode Count" count option that is part of "best-effort scheduling" could also be added to the interleaving options. I have thousands of bumpers. I am not creating nfo's for all of them, or even some of them to achieve something that I could suggest be an automated process in one of the next releases of the product. I am not sure why you would want to discourage that sort of thing. As it is right now, it is impossible to interleave more than one episode of a show at a time, anywhere. I am simply asking if there can be an option to change that. You're naive if you think that is somehow taking away from PTV as it is now.

WOW!! talk about ungrateful!! I do know what you want to do... I would have to say your the ass in this case! Where do I even start to address why you are wrong... lets start with Episode count, which is available through smart playlists... Manually creating NFOS!! weren't computers invented to take repetition tasks and automate them! ever here of a NFO creator? and a bulk renamer! and interleaving more then one episode of a show is possible if you would think out of the box, which you clearly can't... I may be pompous at times... maybe even a d#$k but in this case you are waaaaayyy off the mark! BTW no one is discouraging ideas for features to this addon... but unless you are doing the coding, I don't think you should dictate what features would get priority... which yours doesn't since almost everything you want could be achieved now!
