No. From the files menu, when I attempt to play one of the streams it says something like "playlist can't find next file." Maybe I should try to create and interleave YouTube chtype channels? or maybe add channels to favorites from youtube addon and then use that link to create strm files?

Added a channel to favourites from within the youtube addon. Tried that link to create a stream but received same "playlist can't find next file" error when I tried the play that stream. Oh well.

Probably have no idea what I am doing Luna and hate to waste your time. I created the stream file by opening Notepad++, create new file, pasted youtube channel link into the new file and saved it as a .strm file. I have tried this with just the youtube link "http://www.youtube.com/user/AussieGriller" and with the link created by xbmc favourites from youtube add on "plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?channel=aussiegriller&login=true&path=%2froot%2fsubscriptions&user_feed=uploads&view_mode=subscriptions_favorites". Is it necessary to create a .strm file? not sure what you mean by "strms generated from PTVL,,,"? Youtube addon works fine. My created .strm files will not play from xbmc ->videos->files->directory location.

My post explains how I created the .strm files.... Yes. I have several individual YouTube channels working in PTVL (channel 10 types) and I can add any one of these individual channels to PTVL and they will work fine. I am trying to combine YouTube channels into one PTVL channel and assumed that creating .strm files from individual YouTube channels within a directory would be the best way to do that. So the question is (and perhaps where I should have started)... What is the best way to combine YouTube channels into one PTVL channel?

yes ustvnow plugin is working for me luna.
and what i do with youtube is i use ptvl to create strm files. then i scrape them into xbmc just like i would with a tv show. then i use other software to change genre to match genres i already have. then i add genres to ptvl works great i did have some problems just adding youtube playlist to ptvl they always started paused.
