Luna:
I have a question about youtube multi-channels, and I wanted to ask you if this is the correct behavior for this channel type before diving into the problem anymore. Sorry if someone has already asked about this, I haven't found it on the forum yet. Here is a settings2 configuration for a channel:

Code:

<setting id="Channel_42_type" value="10" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_rulecount" value="2" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_rule_1_id" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_rule_1_opt_1" value="TestTube" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_1" value="ScamSchool|NatureHates|VintageSpace|TestTube101|TestTubePlus|fig1|Manthropologyshow|obscuresorrows|lifenoggin|HardScienceShow|iflscience|brewagetv|TheDiscoveryslowdown|fwthinking|shotsofawe" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_3" value="50" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_4" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_changed" value="False" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_2" value="Multi Channel" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_time" value="0" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_rule_2_id" value="13" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_rule_2_opt_1" value="6" />
    <setting id="Channel_42_SetResetTime" value="1435735612" />

First off, I do know that this is a lot of video to pull into one single channel, and I am planning on splitting these into test tube 1, 2, etc.


So basically when the channel populates, it pulls 25 or 50 (depending on the limit setting) videos from the first youtube channel, and then stops pulling video from any of the other channels. I might get lucky here and there and get one video from another channel. This is the same regardless of sort order. Is this behavior correct, or do I need to look deeper into the issue? In other words does a random multi-channel pull X random videos from all listed channels, or X videos from channels in order and then randomize them?

I will change it to parse the limit per channel, shuffle and return limit
