First of all, great addon! It has made my HTPC so much more then just mediaplayer
I've even removed my television subscription thanks to this addon!
Now to my small issue,
I'm trying interleave a 'childrens channel' with 5 minute short cartoons, i've done the following
- Added a bunch of cartoonclips (AVI) to a folder on my Windows Server
- Set the appropriate permissions on the shared folder
- Created a new channel (27) in directory mode on my XBMC
- Create a new rule on the "Children Channel" to interleave channel 27 every episode (for test purposes)
Now the thing is, it doesnt interleave anything. And the reason for this is because it cant find the AVI files for some reason.
If i try to interleave anything else into my childrenschannel that is already been scraped by XBMC it work fine.
The Channel 27 (Directory Mode) does not even show up as a channel for some reason, even though I havent hidden it with any rules.
Any clues on how to proceed, is this a known bug?
Edit:
Think I realised that this has to do with SMB shares, It's not possible to create directory channels with SMB shares? Needs to be NFS shares?
Just installed the plugin today and ran into this same issue. If the AVI files don't show up, it means that they haven't been scraped properly. For now i'm using TV Time to workaround the issue. TV Time allows you to set a folder as the source when creating a Channel.
Not true. You can include files that have not been scraped by XBMC. That is how I have my MTV channel. It is done by selecting a folder for a channel in PTV. Have you made sure you have selected the "Duration of short Videos" properly?

EDIT:
Looks like I got it:
PsuedoTV> Add-on Settings> Open Channel Configuration> Select a Channel> Channel Type> Directory> Browse to the Directory.
Not sure why it didn't work before?
