Would you mind explaining how your lock file is functioning to me? I have a channel based on daily shows and I have the channel based on 2 smart playlists the first of which shows unwatched episodes and the second follows it with random watched episodes (I love the "pause channel" and "force" options you have included).
Basically, I have most of my channels updating on a less common basis, but I would like to set this channel to update everytime, so I want to write a script that edits the settings2.xml file to tell it the channel is changed and needs to be updated everytime the lock file lets go.
Thanks
Jason,
I too have a playlist based channel that is supposed to show "shows aired in the last 48 hours". Unfortunately, the way PTV works now is, I think, I don't get any channel updates for 5 days or so.
Would it be possible to somehow implement a way to update just specific channels on a time schedule of our choosing? That way channels such as ours could be made to function as we would intend them to.
Also, another request concerning the Master/Slave relationship of PTV. Would it be possible to have a setting on a computer that was set as the master to just update channels and not actually play any of the channels once they have finished filling up with episodes? I would like to have one of my computers just take care of the channels, the Master, and share them with my other computers, the slaves. I would like the Master to not play any of the channels, thereby using up the watched status of an episode, and to just let me know what it was doing within PTV by way of a log file I could look at or actual on screen type of log.
Loving what you are doing with PTV.
Thanks,
Mark
