Could someone help me with Best-Effort Channel Scheduling?

I have the following setup:
AdultSwim on channel 77
CartoonNetwork on channel 78

The intent is to have the AdultSwim channel NOT show up in the EPG, and only have it play on channel 78 starting at 9 PM every night.

Channel Number: 77
Days of the Week UMTWHFS
Time: 21:00
Episode Count: 20
Starting Episode: 136 (? this seems to randomly change)
Starting Date: 14/07/2015 (? Not what I entered, this seems to randomly change as well)

Here is a snippet from my settings2.xml (Note that this is from the very end of the file):

Code:

<setting id="Channel_78_type" value="0" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_1" value="special://profile/playlists/video/CartoonNetwork.xsp" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rulecount" value="4" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_1_id" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_1_opt_1" value="CartoonNetwork" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_2_id" value="17" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_2_opt_1" value="No" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_3_id" value="15" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_3_opt_1" value="Yes" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_changed" value="True" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_type" value="0" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_1" value="special://profile/playlists/video/AdultSwim.xsp" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_rulecount" value="1" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_rule_1_id" value="17" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_rule_1_opt_1" value="No" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_rule_2_id" value="5" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_changed" value="False" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_id" value="3" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_1" value="77" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_2" value="UMTWHFS" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_3" value="21:00" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_4" value="20" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_5" value="136" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_rule_4_opt_6" value="14/07/2015" />
    <setting id="Channel_78_lastscheduled" value="137" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_2" value="" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_3" value="" />
    <setting id="Channel_77_4" value="" />

Now for some reason, when I put in the start date, it always changes the start date after I save it, and the starting episode (which I assume should be set to "1", I'm not sure as documentation on this particular feature seems scant) gets randomized to some other odd number.

How can I get this feature to work? This is a fully updated OpenELEC Kodi install using PTVL 0.6.4.

Thanks.

I don't know if this does anything, but I'd recommend moving your channel 77 and 78 lines together. They're kind of broken up. I'm not sure if that could cause a problem, but it's worth a shot.
