2 days ago I see you have added BCT Exclusion rule, Recursive Directories. I have just tried the latest but I cant seem to find anything in regards to BTC exclusions in settings. 
Advanced channel rules
Doh! ...Sorry ...LOL Thanks 
*Edit
I just tried it out. It works great!! I can't thank you enough 
Glad to hear, let me know how the recursive directories are working... want to make sure its functional before I move on...

It's in very early development, when its all finished It will have it's own artwork that will show the plugin icon (if available).
As for custom descriptions... its actually setup to use descriptions found for the individual media, if you see the plugin path then it didn't find any info...
I'm open to suggestions for alternatives to the plugin path. But I won't be adding any custom switches like the ones found in chtype 9.

I fixed some issues with the Unicode errors, you will still need to disable system cache (keep your eyes out for a commoncache plugin update, it will include a fix so you can re enable caching).
I will just sum up, to make it short;
1. there is an error with mutated vowelsnin your latest version, but there will be a fix from the commoncache (got it right?) plugin soon.
2. my tv series based channel 9 does not get created
3. the stream channel 19 does not show a video
4. checked the rss, got result back that it is a valid rss feed. He skips creating it, because it could not detect any videos.

The option enable/disable cache works now in v 0.3.7.
Thank you, Lunatixz

Hi Lunatixz,
I may have been a little hasty with my comment last night. have been doing some more thorough testing on your new changes. On closer inspection I have discovered that adverts and bumpers do not work on movie channels. I set the BCT rule in PTVL settings and pointed to the folder with each of the three, then set each to show each 1 time between programs.
On TV shows BCT's work as expected.
Exclusion BCT rule works as expected.
I also tested on my Disney movie channel to manually interleave a bumper folder and PTVL ignores the rule
Here is a channel rundown for clarity purposes:
1 - Guide <--- Guide clips inside subfolder of bumpers folder (Works fine)
2 - Early Learning <--- path S:\Childrens Corner\Early Learning\ The channel plays but (ignores 2 folder based interweaved bumper channel rules)
3 - Sky Movies Action <---- Trailers work, Adverts and Bumpers ignored.
4 - Sky Movies Animation <--- Set rule to exclude BCT's (Works), Also set rule to interleave hidden folder based channel for bumper. But PTVL ignores interleave rule
6 - History Channel <--- BCT Rule works fine
8 - Tiny Tots <--- Set Rule to exclude (BCT's Works fine) - Set 2 hidden folder based interleave channels (Again ignored by PTVL)
It seems the interleave rule is still not working properly.
PTVL's BCT rules work only partially on movie channels. (It only shows trailers) Wheras TV Shows work fine.
For interleaving have you tried creating a channel or 2 of directory based channels. Then put the hidden rule on and then tried to interleave them with another visible movie genre based channel. I would be very curious to see if it works correctly for you.
I hope I have been clear enough and you can find a solution. Here is my

Do I understand correct that it is not possible to have bumpers and adverts, but just trailers auto generated for movie channels in the BCT settings?
Meaning you can only have all three on TV channels. I ask because I can only get it to generate all three for TV show channels.
As for the interleave rule, I am still trying to get it to work. I have started with a fresh settings2 to keep things simple. Have tried in PseudoTV Manager and have tried editing with PTVL gui. The strange thing is that if I unhide the channel it plays, but it will not interleave with another channel.
**Edit**
I have just tried interleaving a movie genre channel with another, instead of a directory based one and that also failed. I am totally stumped that you have it working on your end. When you get the chance could you please look at this

Thanks for straightening that out. I would request you include adverts and bumpers, but I can easily create my own with interleave rules. Its driving me mad that interleave is working for you but refuses for me. The only difference could be Gotham, what version are you using? its not a networking issue as all the files are local. I have tried moving the interleaved channel folder to the root of the partition. I have tried interleaving from a channel which has content scanned into the library rather than a directory. I doubt its corruption as I have started from scratch for testing purposes. I just hope you can see something in my log or maybe its a new bug. I will just patiently wait with my fingers crossed.

My normal setup has the hidden interleaved channels after.

channel 200 (with do not play rule)
This has always worked for me in the past. I just tried your method and vise-versa, unfortunately it has no effect. The interleave rule is still skipped.
