Well i've just ruined all my Sky Movies HD channels by putting my movies into individual folders, meaning using path to an e.g. 'crime & thriller' folder draws a blank because i assume there is now other folders within that folder.
I want all movies with genres crime and/or thriller and only 720p resolution.
I try to create a playlist with the rules genre is crime, genre is thriller, resolution is 720p and choose all rules, obviously it misses all files that only have one of crime or thriller.
I choose one or more rules and it gives me those files but also every film that is 720p regardless of genre.
Am i going about it the wrong way or is it not possible?

I found PseudoTV recently and I must say, this is potentially the best add-on I have. I have made a few custom channels, but I came up with a few questions on how to create better stations :
1.) Can I schedule programs or 'events' into my channels? In other words, can I set a schedule such as a certain show at a certain time every night, or friday in movie day etc? and if so how?
2.) Can I Do anything to balance my TV stations? If I want to include random episodes of say 4 TV shows on one channel, but one of those shows has more episodes than the other 3 combined, can I make the other shows a little more likely to show up in the rotation?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice
PS. - I re-posted this here since I thought I might get better response. If that is against the rules I apologize and ask the mods to remove either or both threads if necessary.

Can you set any of the channels to show an internet (rtsp/rtmp) stream?

Has anyone had PseudoTV freeze during the channel building stage when first starting it?
After some checking of the xbmc log file it seemed to freeze on a certain episode of Scrubs each time. It seems that it didnt like the characters used for the word "Déjà vu". When I removed the episode from the library the scan then continued on until it hit another episode name that had similar characters. Is there any way to fix this?
Also could this issue be coming up because I'm using a mysql centralized database?

Is there anywhere I can find out how to edit channels via code? Like, I'm using this for 90's TV:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>get-50-1990s-episodes</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="airdate" operator="after">1989-12-31</rule>
<rule field="airdate" operator="before">2000-01-01</rule>
<limit>50</limit>
<order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>
But, I want it to have a different TV show after another like Friends > Seinfeld > Rocko's Modern Life > Freaks & Geeks instead of Friends > Friends > Friends > Seinfeld.
I can't find a legend or anything to go off of to write this code. That's all I need, I can do the rest. It just seems like everywhere I go, you're just expected to already know how to do all of this.,

That file is just his excel spreadsheet, so he can keep track of his channel layout. You will have to create your own channels based on that file if you want to match his setup. I believe he has included some of his playlist files that correspond to the spreadsheet. Alot of his channels are based on networks and directories.
