Thanks for any help.

im betting you used ember media manager and it made an nfo file with a <runtime> tag and that value is in seconds instead of minutes, it needs to be in minutes. PTV uses the <runtime> tag to figure out how long things should be in the guide.

Running Stable pre and while it appears everything is working well, I have a couple of channels that only show like the same five things over and over again! These channels DO have one thing in common, they are BOTH "Directory" channels. I do all channel mgmt. from ptv manager btw. Tried different settings (play random, real time, etc) but nothing, same couple of videos over and over.

Not that all that many people are probably interested but....my problem is/was the mp4 files were NOT converted properly. In case anybody else encounters a similar problem, quick convert with mkvmerge and all is fine.

i sort of have a similar problem like this. i do all channel managment from the channel configurator in PTV. all of my channels are set up by network as to mimic real tv. on my cbs channel i have episode of two different shows that actually play on cbs on real tv. anyways it seems to play the same episodes over and over. only out of a larger pool than just a couple episodes. yet, MUCH less than the actual number of episodes i have. almost like it has a problem playing completely random. or within the coding there actually IS a coded pattern to which the channels play. there are some episodes that have played 20 times and some that haven played at all. how does one counter this?

All the episodes play if i select them manually but they don't seem to show up seemingly in PTV.

If encoding is still a problem, how do I tell which ones are the problem. There are over 2500 episodes in my library and it would take forever to check every one haha

All that was done here was set PTV to reset channels on start as I added some new episodes. I was already tuned to the channel I mostly watch in which I've been describing so far. I skipped through several episodes to see what ones loaded. 4 were ones I haven't seen before. All the rest were ones I watched yesterday evening lol. Not just "seen before", but watched within the last 10 hours. It's always like this. I skip through about 5 episodes, play one I haven't seen or haven't seen recently, skip through another bunch. Up until yesterday I've had the same episodes in the library for the past 2 months and finally caught one that has not been played. I think I will start keeping track of the episodes played to actually see the pattern
