I want to start by saying great add-on i use it all the time and my kids love it too so win win

I'm trying to automate adding Christmas and Halloween movies to my library and PTVL Channels, and add a Holiday episode channel, what i have gotten figured out so far is :

1.) I created a .bat file to move my Christmas movies from a different directory to a folder in my movies folder (and a separate one for Halloween movies)
and created a .bat file to move my Christmas movies from the movies folder back to the original directory (and a separate one for Halloween movies)

2.)I then use Eventghost to execute the .bat files on specific dates and send a update command with VoxCommando to XBMC (or a clean command if removing the movies)

3.) I created Christmas and Halloween movie Channels in PTVL
( if i remove the movies from the library then those channels are no longer shown )

now the problem I'm running into is that I created a playlist with all the Christmas Episodes i have, and created a PTVL channel for it, so i tried to remove the Playlist from the Playlist folder to see if that would stop the channel from showing up, but that didn't work i tried to Force reset PTVL and also tried to restart XBMC but the channel was still there.

so what I'm trying to figure out is how can I automate the removal of that channel, I found that if i add this line

Code:

<setting id="Channel_6_rule_5_id" value="5" />

to settings2.xml then it disables the channel, so far all I can think of would be to use some type of script (AutoHotKey, .bat or VBS) to add that line of code to the settings2.xml at the end of the Christmas Season and then remove that line of code at the begging of the Christmas Season. but before i went full boar in that direction i thought i would see if someone would have another idea, i don't know much about coding just enough to get me in trouble so using a script would be my last resort

any ideas or help would be great thanks

and thanks for the great add on
