I think we are both confused here...
You can't add more then one "_2" source to ptvl's settings... this will never happen!
How to add a strm to chtype 8 or 9 is documented in the second post.
Example sources under chtype 8 "LiveTV" shows using a strm file, this was a feature from day one
I want to know if you setup a channel doesn't matter what type 8/9 with a "_2" switch directly to a strm file that contains a backup link to the same source, does PTVL when the first link fails play the second?
Hope that helps clear things up...
