As another option if you were to try to expand flexibility in this way (maybe it would avoid redoing a lot of code, i dunno, but trying to help) maybe you could leave the settings more or less as is, but have a file like playforder.xml or something, which could have something along the lines of
...etc, you get the idea. The numbers represent their order in the queue. You could maybe mention that trivia slides can't be higher than number 3 or so. Or, just leave the trivia slides and trivia intro out of the order list and make them first no matter what. Just an idea, I don't know if it helps. I suppose that alternatively you could just have another setting in the GUI that does the same thing. A list of 10 or whatever number of slots and for each one you choose the video type (trailer, feature intro, theater intro, etc) you want to play in that slot.
EDIT: err, nevermind. Apparently you had the same idea. You uploaded that pic while i was typing this.
Code:
<playorder>
<triviaintro>1</triviaintro>
<triviaslides>2</triviaslides
<triviaoutro>3</trivaoutro>
<theaterintro>5</theaterintro>
<policytrailer>7</policytrailer>
<trailers>6</trailers>
<dolbydts>4</dolbydts>
</playorder>
