I just triple checked every possible type of channel interleaving and they all work!! below are a few problems that could be causing issues.

1. if you are using a "directory" type channel you can only build from the root directory, subfolders are ignored... (nothing new here!!)
2. from my tests I noticed that even tho advanced rules are set, if you change the channels settings (ie type of show or directory) even tho the settings in advanced are still there, they don't take.
You need to reenter advanced rules and click save again for the advanced settings to apply to the channel changes.... In short you should always reenter advanced settings menu and back out and save after a change in that channels settings.

hope this helps let me know...

Btw this doesn't rule out possible conflicts with multiple rules stacked onto one channel. In order to find that problem (if it exists) would require users to compare channels rules with each other. See if there is a repeatedly pattern I can test out.

Going from your suggestions from my findings I have found that if you create a directory based channel, it will only work if the folder is at root level AND has no subfolders inside it, else the channel will be skipped.
I have spent the whole day trying to get my interleaved adverts, trailers and bumpers to work on with the latest PTVL on my channels, but still havent got it to work so far.

This is the advanced channel rules I have set on all my movie channels

1. Force Random Mode
2. Reset every 4 days
3. Rename Channel
4. Interleave Channel 201 <---- Hidden directory based channel pointing to Advert folder (Now has no subfolders inside and moved to root of drive)
5. Interleave Channel 202 <---- Hidden directory based channel pointing to Channel name Bumper folder (Now has no subfolders inside and moved to root of drive)
6. Interleave Channel 203 <---- Hidden directory based channel pointing to Trailers folder (Now has no subfolders inside and moved to root of drive)
7. Schedule Channel 410 <---- Hidden Playlist based channel that plays movie genre rule with adult MPAA ratings after 7pm

It gets to rule 3 and skips the rest for every channel and the same for my tv show channels.
Another solution would be just to use PTVL's built in BCT's but as of now it is just a blanket rule that applies to every channel. Which does not suit me. Would be great if you could give it some extra rules for excluding channels.

I'm nearly out of ideas here and am going to have to put the file/folders back as they were and revert back to the older version of PTVL that worked, which is a shame as there are a lot of improvents in speed and other things.

Ok, i thougt switch 4 is an optional description.. I don't know how many other users request the subfolders, but i can't use it without

Im using the old version until / if there will be a fix..

Anyway, many thanks for keeping up the good work!

I vote for bringing subfolder support back too. I have a lot of directory based channels and I would rather not have all the PTVL related folders littering my partitions at root level when they can all be neatly inside one folder.
