This is what my playlist looks like:

<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Starz</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="is">Animation</rule>
<rule field="genre" operator="is">Family</rule>
<rule field="mpaarating" operator="isnot">r</rule>
</smartplaylist>

The movie is a .vob file. Don't know if that has something to do with it or not.

EDIT:
Just before posting I deleted the playlist and made a new one.
I still have the same issue with the movie showing up in the guide for 26hrs straight.

Are you guys who want more than 200 channels using the official released version of PTV or the stable-pre version? I don't know for sure, but it may be in the stable-pre version that Jason has inplemented this.

First thing first....how are you making your playlist? Are you making it within XBMC or are you using a text editor? If you are just using a text editor, I suggest that you go into XBMC and make your playlist from within the playlist menu. Start out with one rule such as "<rule field="genre" operator="is">Animation</rule>", see what you get when you select this playlist from within XBMC. If this gets you all of your movies that have the genre of "Animation", then add your other rules, one at a time to see where you lose all of your movies. If your playlist works within XBMC, it should work within PTV the same way. When and if you find where you lose your movies, you can troubleshoot your problem further from there. Let us know what you find.

I make the playlists using XBMC> Videos> Playlists> New Smart playlists. I only use 3 rules. Genre is Animation, Genres is Family and MPAA Rating is not R and have the playlist follow "all of the rules". I then select this playlist and make it into a channel by selecting the playlist in the channel configuration.

The problem is not that movies in this playlist are not showing up because they do. The problem is that when the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks" shows up it stays on the guide/epg for 26hrs straight. This only happens with this 1 movie. Other movies on this playlist show up on the guide for only the lenght of the movie. I even tried setting the rule "Even Show Distribution" to "1" inside this channel Channel configuration to see if it would solve it but it didn't work. By the way. I make sure I reset the channel every time after making any changes.

I'll give using 1 rule at a time a try to see if this is causing it.

Quote:Okay...are the other movies that show up good in vob form or are they ripped to another container? If they are not vob, then it appears as if PTV might have trouble with whole dvds. Seems to me you have a couple of options. Rip your dvd and create an mkv or avi file of Alvin and the chipmunks or exlude this movie from your playlist.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Actually I only have about 80 channels running, but then there are an additional 150 hidden channels at the bottom used for interleaving. Its a bit complicated and I would love to know a better way to do this!

Here is a link to my channel lineup: PseudoTV_Lineup.xlsx

The first page is the lineup and the second page is the technicals of how the channels are configured.
