Ahh my reasoning is that for various content I have acquired clips that say coming up next and then the title of the movie or show. When I make a playlist I place them between the media so that they are in the proper place and not randomized.
I am definitely not a skinner but I do enjoy designing things. If. I can create a worthwhile scheme i will send it your way

There is an adv. channel rule designed for post/pre roll interleaving that automatically "hides" the meta from the EPG. This will probably be the only "hide" channel feature as I don't see any reason outside of bumper interleaving to use it.

Thx for the offer...

Lunatixz,

Wanted to chime in, in the hopes of getting more hidden channels or a way to do this in the new PTVL.

Because of the way that Kodi creates playlists of show that are to be played in order, as discussed here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...t=playlist
I have had to use many channels in the old PTV for single shows, played in episode order, interleaved into a main channel that is then allowed to be shown. This is the only way to get a channel to play numerous shows, in order, and not have one show dominate the channel until other unwatched episodes are found.

Is there a way that you have cooked up to accomplish this in the new PTVL?

Thanks,
Mark

I believe you are jumping the gun... User-defined channels haven't been released yet... nor Adv. rules.  I do not plan on adding hidden channels, I chose to deal with "hidden" content for this project differently. Is there an element built into this project to "hide" content from the EPG yes, can you hide a full channel no!

I suggest you play around with smartplaylist and nodes... try this: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Library_Node_Editor. The bulk of channel sorting methods are in adv. rules; you'll have to wait for that round of beta features. BTW you can always create your own adv. "rule" type and handle content how you like. I'll be more than happy to include it in the project... feel free to bring this issue up again after Adv. rules are released.
