Hi Luna - I had a couple of ideas for features last night. I know these may never reach your list, but hey, here they are for your consideration anyway.
1) Make PTVL Seasonally Aware. e.g. Its Halloween week at the moment and cable networks are playing a lot of Horror movies. A lot of television shows play their Halloween specials. It would be kind of cool if PTVL did this too on its own. Same for Christmas.
2) A child friendly option which could be added to channels one at a time or all at once. The idea for this is lets say the users wants to say, between 06:00 and 15:00 a certain channel will only play items which are rated Universal to PG. From 15:00 to 21:00 only play things between PG-12 and 15s. From 21:00 to 06:00 it can play anything from 15s to unrated.
I think both ideas would really only work well on channels built from XBMC library content. What do you think? Thoughts?

The seasonal concept is actually very easy to make happen. I have two seasonal based channels in my set up (one for Halloween and one for Christmas) all you need to do is create a playlist for each holiday and set it to pull episodes that have the word "Halloween" and "Christmas" in their plots.

Thanks. Yeah I have the same thing done here. Was just a thought that the auto tuned channels might take advantage of it so it might seem a bit more fully integrated.

Should BCTs only apply to TV network channels?

More variety is always better. And as someone that only uses genre based channels I obviously want BCT's to apply to genre based channels too. Lol

I think it will be overwhelming... and there is no easy way to have it ignore one channel over the other... so I have to use chtypes... needless to say Livetv,internettv,youtube and rss will not have bcts.
I think I will limit it to tv networks and tv genres

Hi
i dont know if this was asked before.
any chance this can support TVHEADEND ?
that way we can have live TV with the already configured TVHEADEND that is working with the built in TV in XBMC.
thanks
