More details:

Directory channel set to file manager added directory Music Videos.
On first build, it works populating that channel.
Sometime later, not sure when, it converts to playing movies.. not sure how or what it's decided to play ie what smart playlist.
Rebuild fixes this temporarily.

This is a local folder on the HTPC so it's not a network share issue.

Anyone have any thoughts or anything i can try? Let me know. I'm thinking about reverting back to the main branch to see if it's a fix that was incorporated somehwere down the road after the fork, but then I'll need dev help to determine how to incorporate it into the fork i'm using.

The fork you are using has nothing to do with your problem... make sure you are using my build with frodo support!
Please keep angrycamels and my fork related questions in the appropriate topic so you can receive help...

If it has nothing to do with the fork, then it has every right being here. Thanks.

* Limit show descriptions to 500 characters to help combat occasional EPG sync issues.
* Allow skinners to modify font in EPG (thanks to codenamedelta)
* Fix issue with opening videos with unicode in the filename.
* Workaround for dirty regions breaking the rules configuration page.
* Pressing delete on a channel in the configuration will give the option to clear that channel.
* There are now arrows in the advanced rule window to show if there are more options

GO AWAY!!

Jason,

Don't know if it is reproducible or if anyone else sees this but sometimes when using the rules windows, I see "ghost rules" that were actually made in another channel and seem to propagate to other channels. I don't think that they register in the settings2.xml, but they look untidy and are a little disconcerting.

I've seen this as well, I believe it's probably what's causing my directory channel to transform into another type of channel.

made them smart playlists. I usually keep pseudotv running for that "tv' experience. I noticed large chunks of "network'' channels disappearing from time to time. I can exit out of PTV and run it again to repopulate the channels, (i think that once it plays all the shows it removes the channel) but I'm trying to figure out why it's doing this. I added a rule to only play "watched" media files to see if that made a difference and marked all my media as "watched". Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? I would greatly appreciate it.

CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS PLEASE? I'VE WAITED OVER A WEEK WITH NO RESPONSE

LOL!! Sounds like this is a problem unique to your setup... I have no clue what the problem is other then something to do with watched files being filtered... check your playlist, does it list everything from the missing channel or is it empty? have you tried removing all rules from the problem channel and starting over? PTV on its own doesn't filter watched shows out of your channel unless you have set it up to do so!!

Thank you for the reply. I understand that everyone is here voluntarily to help. I only have my channels set as playlists with the channel config having 1 rule to "show only watched media" after a few days it will delete the channel, (i have had up to 10 deleted before) I included 3 pics showing the playlist setup (pic1) channel rules (pic2) and PTV overall config (pic3). This is the channel that gets deleted the most. I have no idea what to do to fix it and I can't find any relevant information through google.

I asked twice, nicely, without getting a reply, and the third time when I complain you say go away. Just because you dont know why its not starting up doesn't make it a false complaint. And there are plenty of examples of other people not getting answers.

The only post that I saw that *might* have helped my problem had you deleting lines from a config file. And obviously, since turning on debugging is what did the trick, all that would have done is left me with a config file missing some lines.

And if you are tired of answering the same question, PUT THE ANSWERS IN THE FIRST FREAKIN POST. Don't respond like a fucking 8 yr old.

As a workaround you could try to filter only played episodes in your playlist.
So add another rule to your playlist, where playcount is greater than 0 or is not 0.

could you explain n a little more detail please?

(2013-06-24, 19:55)Jason102 Wrote: Can you please explain the "ghost rules" a bit more? The one problem I've saw quite a bit was when cycling through rule types I would see fields which are not applicable to the selected rule-type showing up. Turns out this was related to having enabled dirty regions. I fixed that in the last update to stable-pre. I'm assuming that's not what you're referring to, though.
