Any lingering issues in the current build that haven't been addressed? Please let me know of any issues before I began the next phase of BETA features (Advanced Channel Rules). THX

Is the channel bug showing up for a few seconds every once in while expected behavior or a bug? It is the only "issue" I'm having at all at this point (and frankly I'm completely fine with it.)

Yes, this is normal behavior. It's designed to mimic LiveTV were the logo appears briefly... So not to distract from the show.

Any issues with the channel manager? are channels building via different sources? Playback and context options functioning? THX

In that case, everything is working as expected for me using a 2017 Nvidia shield with channels created from Youtube channels and playlists as well as local files stored on a remote computer (although still on my home network.) No issues whatsoever.
