I have a ton of custom playlists I set as channels, but they seem to just repeat the same few movies over and over even though many more movies show in the playlist. Is there a setting to stop the playlist from repeating the same shows over and over?

(2013-06-25, 04:26)RockDawg Wrote: Jason - Since upgrading a while back (not sure when) movie posters no longer appear in the EPG or the overlay. TV show posters and logos work fine. I tried everything I could think of skinning-wise to get them to work, but to no avail. The proper code is in the skin, but nothing shows. Inquiries on the XBMC skinning forum suggested that maybe the addon is no longer providing the image for movies. Can you check and see if indeed PTV is making the image available?

Also, I'm having a problem where the EPG lineup changes every time I restart PTV even though I have it set to real time in settings. I have noticed something with that though. I only update the channels on my desktop as it's pretty powerful and does it much faster than my slower boxes at the TV's. I then copy the /addon_data/script.pseudotv folder to each of my other boxes to update them also. My desktop machine where I actually perform the updates does not exhibit the problem, but all the boxes where I copied the addon_data to do? Could or should that matter?

P.S. Still loving this addon and use it most days. Here's to hoping it stays active and working!

So add another rule to your playlist, where playcount is greater than 0 or is not 0.

could you explain n a little more detail please?

Please open your playlist to the problem channel, copy paste all info... I'll take a look and modify it for you

Set up a channel (directory?) for "show A, intro". Don't show channel, random episodes, say channel 1

Set up a channel (Directory?) for "Show A, Bumpers". Don't show channel, random episodes, say channel 2

Now on the channel you want to create, say channel 4, your "Show A" channel, select your show, Don't play channel, play in order, unwatched shows, etc.
Interweave channel 1, setting it's min and max both to 1
Interweave channel 2, setting it's min and max both to 3

As far as how to get this sequence to play on another channel at a certain time, Maybe schedule this channel to play on your main channel at 8:00, and set the number of episodes to either 2 or 4, I am not sure if the count would include the short duration videos.
Maybe give something like this a try, unless you have already.

As I said, I did post on the skinning forum and Hitcher told me the images must be supplied by the addon. Considering that TV show posters do work and movie posters used to, I can only assume Jason put the code in there so they could be displayed.

Why do I need to set channel reset to automatic? I purposely turned it off because updates take forever on lower powered machines so I do it on my desktop and copy the files over. Why would I remove random from my channels when that's how I want them? These same settings work on my desktop computer.
