Sorry, I think you misunderstand me. I am currently not using the automatic settings in PTVL to create BCT's. I have in fact done them all myself by interleaving directory channels as it gives me more freedom. I have had this setup since using the original PTV. Older versions of PTVL worked it is just the recent builds. The problem I have is that the newer versions of PTVL seem to ignore my channel rules and skip the interleaved directory based channels.

Here is a snippit of my setup

Channel 1 - is a directory channel (It plays a video clip of my channel guide) <--- This channel works fine
Channel 2 - is a directory channel (A folder where I put pre-school educational videos for my daughter) <--- This channel works fine
Channel 3 - is an action genre channel with:
Rule: Interleaved channel 201 - hidden directory channel (Folder with bumpers)
Rule: Interleaved channel 202 - hidden directory channel (Folder with Adverts)
Rule: Interleaved channel 203 - hidden directory channel (Folder with Trailers) ....This rule setup is on all my movie and show channels but the new PTVL skips the interleave rules.

I have two channels that use interleaving (channel 1 & 30) and one of them works (30) and the other one doesn't. I've forced an update on all channels numerous times and it's always results in the same thing. I can't get my log to post to any of the paste sites. I assume it's because it's too large 100,000+ lines. So here it is on my dropbox:

I just updated to XBMC Beta 3 and the latest GIT of PTVL and now neither of my channels interleave. Yes, I deleted "addon/script.pseudotv.live" and "userdata/script.pseudotv.live/cache" before updating. I would post a log, but PTVL makes the logs so huge that I can't seem to paste the contents anywhere that will publish it.

I'll look into it... Another user also reported a problem. Can you give More details? Are the channels local, smb?

is it possible to hide the background channel loading/adding notification?

Yes, but I'm not interested in adding it as an option.

Thanks Lunatixz, I saw someone on the forums ask about plutotv, and was going to point out it should be possible in ptvl(w/ YouTube search/playlist channels). Have you checked out the android apk, maybe it could make things easier?

Also, any update on the PVR backend EPG, or is this on hold until Gotham?

I'm no longer thinking its viable. I found no matter what I set in PVR settings I couldn't get more then a days worth of EPG data. Which would mean ptvl would have to rebuild everyday...
It will require further investigation. If the epg3.db can store at least 3 days of listings per channel then we would be golden.
I promise to give it another go... When I have time to look into it...
