Hi Luna, I've been meaning to post about this for a while, but a family emergency has been more important. I got the interleaving to work! I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and it worked suddenly!

I have an idea for a feature that I think a good many people would like to see, and I wouldn't mind doing some work to make it happen. Here's my idea: interleave channels but keep the other channel's logo. Here's the idea that spawned this thought. Let's say that you're making a Cartoon Network channel. Anyone who has cable and watches CN knows that at around 9/10, the channel turns into Adult Swim. Yet, AS does not have the CN logo--it has the AS logo. So, this would allow for more natural channels like that. Another gigantic reason that I think people would like this is to solve the problem of channels that have a mix of embedded/nonembedded logos. One could create a playlist channel that is customized to have only shows with the logo, e.g., "History Channel with embedded logo". Then, another channel could be created, "History Channel". "History Channel" would be the primary channel used for surfing: it would have shows that don't have an embedded logo and would have the logo added to it by PTVL. Then, randomly, the hidden "History Channel with embedded logo" would be interleaved into "History Channel" without the logo of the channel so the embedded logo would appear and take its place. How exactly does the interleaving for PTVL work? I honestly haven't done much snooping through the code.
