Then your channel playlist is MIXED and has a rule matching the playlist for each show you want on the channel. This way, you can also put a limit on the playlists so even though one show may have 200 episodes, only 50 (or however) are put in PTV when it makes the channels.
Hi Cameron and thanks for the information. This is, however, how I have had my playlist up until now. I could keep them like this, but was hoping for a way to not have so many playlists in my video directory. Having a couple hundred playlists in there can sometimes get confusing
I thought it would be easier and less messy if that rule would be incorporated into the channel rules.
While I have your attention, if playlists are made the way you describe (channel is a mixed playlist made up of playlists for each show in that channel) can you get them to play in order so that a random show will play the next episode in the story.
I am just coming into PTV version 2 from version 1 and before that TVTime and am redoing all of my playlists to try and get rid of some of the unwatched channels. I am trying to get a grasp of how things work with this version compared to the other two I have used.
Thanks,
Mark
