I was hoping someone might be able to give me some guidance. I'm having trouble with interleaving and tried to search the thread but had no luck.
Basically, I'm going exactly what Milkman has in his guide in that I want to interleave a Bumper channel and an Advert channel. I created a smart playlist for each item and then I added the channels to my configuration and used "Don't use this channel" to hide them. I then went to my main channel and added the interleave rule. For example:
Channel 121, min=1, max=1 & Channel 163 min=2, max=2
But when I watch the channel it just skips to the next episode and plays nothing. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong. The bumpers and commercials appear in their respective playlists just fine. Thanks for the help!

Yes you can program it. You parse for the first three characters in all channel names. I bet you everyone in the world cable company has FOX in it. They all may not have FOXHD, FOXD, FOXH but they will all have FOX. But then again I could be wrong. What do I know.

I am guessing you don't think I thought about that part too.
Something came up. I was going to edit my post and write "you can program base on what you know to be common" and if you know fox, fox2, fox movies, fox sports, fox anything exist than you look for common denominator to distinguish them from one and other to a make a positive match. They are strings of characters that you can analyze using edit distance. It will never be 100% but it would be as close as possible. In my case it wasn't close at all. 630 channels with 0 match. So if you are the programmer and you think this is acceptable then fine. I am not going to argue with you. I found an alternative that works for me. With the help of excel using the formula I stated above I had no issue matching them. I started from scratch from my test client so I can send you logs so you can hopefully debug and fix that problem for someone else who may encounter the same issue or perhaps myself If I ever decided to do a clean install in the future. Again you don't have time and that's understandable.
For me for example MTV and MTV2 came up as a match. I rather fix manually fixed 1 10 30 than 630.

Hey just a quick question,
I use PseudoTV at home and at work, and at my office as a photographer I use it mainly for downloaded music videos as a Music Channel, I was wondering as it would seem like a pretty simple code addition, to add a line of code to bring up the information panel that comes up when you change channels at timed intervals so you can see the title of the music video?
Thanks guys
JD
