I have a request and was wondering if it was doable?

You currently have the ability to schedule a show at a certain time...great stuff!
However, would it be possible to make PTV be able to schedule,instead of a certain show or movie...a playlist?
Say..if one wanted to create a playlist of 4 or 5 tv shows to play every night at 8:00pm. Using the channel rules, we could maybe enter a time and a playlist. This would then play the 4 or 5 shows at the specified time and then go back to the original channel playlist or settings after the 4 or 5 shows were finished playing.
Carrying this concept a step further....it would be nice if we could schedule a playlist at a certain time as well on a certain day.
Any way to do put any of this on your "todo" list. Is it even possible?

Thanks,
Mark

Jason102 Wrote:That's exactly how the scheduler works. You schedule a channel (which can be a smart playlist type) to play at a time on specific days of the week and for a certain count (4 or 5 shows). Everything you're asking for is possible right now.

Jason102 Wrote:If you have channels that will load right away and don't require updating, then PseudoTV will just start playing and load that other channel in the background. Do you get a notification when video starts playing that it's loading channels? If so, wait a bit and see if channel 50 is added (another notification should pop up).

however random episodes of shows like the simpsons or other non story based shows would be fine

i hope this makes sense?
