Hey guys,
Just started using PseudoTV and it's great... just running into a small snag. Here is my setup:
- Apple TV 2 running Eden XBMC
- 15mb Download ethernet connection
- Using "add to library" from 1channel app to populate my library (so I don't have to store locally)
- Create smartlist in my XBMC library to create "channels" for pseudotv
- In PseudoTV, I set channel type as playlist, then select the playlist from my library
This works fine... however, shows all seem grouped together too much. For example, if I have a channel of "cartoons", and have family guy, the simpsons, american dad and the Cleveland show, when I start pseudotv and look at the EPG, there will be 7 or 8 family guy episodes listed together before showing one episode of the Simpsons... then 7 or 8 more family guy, then an episode of american dad, then 7 or 8 more family guy... etc.
I would understand this is there were more episodes of one than another, but in the above example, there are way more episodes of the simpsons that of family guy, so that should be the most shown I would think. Another note is that it's not always the same show... sometimes it's blocks of 7 or 8 episodes of "The Cleveland show" or whatever when I start. It's not always the same.
I tried a few things to resolve it... I tried setting up hidden channels for each show, then interleaving them into my main channel... helped a little bit, but still showed more than others, and didn't help enough to limit the amount of shows I will be capped at to 200 or less. I also set "force random" on the channel, didn't seem to help either. Shouldn't it literally just take all the episodes from the playlist and show them randomly in the EPG? Why is it grouping everything together in "blocks of shows" with just a few exceptions scattered into the mix?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
