Ok guys, my other posts about channels deleting has been solved. (By setting background updating to minimal and running a force reset). Now I'm wondering something else. Some of the channels I have are playing the same episodes and movies repeatedly on startup. I can skip to the next show, but its usually something that has played recently. Is there a way to randomize everything a little more thorough? I have the smart playlists set to random ordering of episodes but its not thorough enough. Any ideas? Thank you

On the Channel Sharing option I have my main htpc in the living running openelec set to channel share. I have it pointed to a shared folder on my server and I have confirmed it is adding data to the folder. Now I've got a Pi in my bed room running openelec and before I ran pseudotv for the first time I set it to channel share and pointed it to the shared folder. Now my tv in the living room was running pseudotv and when I started pseudotv in my bedroom the status bar got to searching for other instances, it then said migrating, and then started. When it fired up though it hadn't added any of the custom channels I have on my main htpc and the standard 9 movie channels it made were not synced with the living room htpc. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I am trying to create a music video channel and no matter what I do the channel will not show. I created a smart playlist in XBMC with all the videos in it and built a channel based of that smart playlist, but no go. I read a post where somebody claimed PTV would ignore mpeg files, but I also have some that are FLV and they aren;t showing up either. Anybody have a music video channel working? If so, was there anything special you had to do?

I would also like to hear from people that have working music video channels based on smart playlists. I haven't been able to create a proper channel since the april update to PseudoTV. My files are in .mkv, .vob, and .mp4. Some (very few) are getting picked up from the 600 videos I have. There seems to be no logic to it. Different filesize, container, codecs, runtime. I had a little chat with spanktastic about it, but we couldn't get it working.

I tried this and it didnt work. I have a folder on my desktop called Music Videos and inside are the videos.
I set PTV to directory to this folder but the channel wouldnt even save
So I read somewhere I had to Network Drive the folder with a Drive Letter, so I did,
The directory shows and channel saves but the channel doesnt come up in the EPG and never loads.
Id love to be able to do this as well

I also welcome any centralized services for this stuff. Many are using multi-client setups and over the years I have managed to implement scripts to copy data to and from all machines and a server so I maintain just 1 version of XBMC which rolls out to every client. The central channel sharing works great but as many experience sometimes there are large delays or channels can go missing for ages without knowing what is happening.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting the addon to work at all.
I'm running v12.2, I installed the latest version from github from zipfile, but when I open the addon, it just says 'Script Failed (addon name)'
Any ideas?
