Just wanted to update that:

1. chtype 9:
The following problem (quoted below) is solved by using smb:// method. Using a direct link (rtsp) doesn't work.
I noticed that when using the smb:// method, the link inside the strm is changed by XBMC.
Anyway, the link I used before for the video feed was broken, fixed it, now it works.

... tried to create a strm file that contains the rtmp link and direct the channel to read the file using smb method, like this:

<setting id="Channel_9_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_9_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_9_2" value="smb://...(file path)..../aljazeera.strm" />
<setting id="Channel_9_3" value="News" />
<setting id="Channel_9_4" value="" />
<setting id="Channel_9_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_9_changed" value="True" />
<setting id="Channel_9_time" value="0" />
<setting id="Channel_9_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_9_rule_1_opt_1" value="Al Jazeera News" />

2. Super Favorites:
Doesn't seem to work at all. PTVL stucks on 40% when trying to create the channel.
I can provide a log if needed...

3. LiveTV EPG Problem:
I noticed that when opening PTVL and it opens the last channel which is a LiveTV (PVR) channel, I cant open EPG - it just opens for a second and closes and any channel flipping afterwards causing PTVL to exit.
* The only way to avoid it is to change to a different type of channel and then open the EPG.
** This happens only when I have different channel types. If my settings2.xml contains only PVR channels, this doesn't happen at all.

1. Technically the direct link inside the strm should work, can you pm me the strm so I can test it out?

2. I believe I clearly stated that it's hit or miss... that not all plugins are the same... some will work others won't... I've had great success with super favs...

3. do you have background updating on? turn it off or on minimal... let me know if that solves your problem...
