Maybe I'll submit this as an official [Feature Request] then, and if anyone else finds it useful, Lunatixz could try to make it happen! If not/until then, I'll use this workaround.
I ask for my wife. Since I can't leave PTVL open all the time and have to close it, she can never figure out how to get it back open, haha! Maybe I'll write up an instruction list for the time being!
I think it could definitely be useful as many people (myself included) have data caps, and significant others who are not technologically saavy.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to code but maybe it could function as a timer that triggers the existing "Startup channel" code, or maybe as a derivation of the auto-off code where instead of shutting down PTVL it "reboots" it and in doing so defaults to whatever the "Startup Channel" is.
My only hesitation with using the timer function is having it turn off in the middle of watching something. Like you 2, I'm not sure how hard it would be to code in. Ideally (in my mind) would be to utilize "esc" as program exit and utilize "x" or something else to simply stop playback. And maybe hitting "x" could/would stop the existing playback and immediately switch to something like "the guide channel" (some generic image would be grande).

We'll see where Lunatixz goes with this as development continues!
