All I can see in the options is to have different movie channels based on genre like comedy etc. I've tried creating a smart playlist but I just get 'movie not found' when I try and go to that channel, not sure what's going wrong
Hello,
This is the contents of a playlist I just made call "Random Movies.xsp"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Random Movies</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="doesnotcontain">Plastic</rule>
<order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>
Put this inside your text editor and save it to your userdate/playlists/video directory. name it what you want, with ".xsp" extension, and it should work.
The rule "doesnotcontain" could be anything that is not a genre.
This should get you what you want if you create channels using this playlist.
Don't forget, PTV does not create all of the channels at once to show you. It will start playing a movie once the first channel is created, then creat the rest in the background.

However, the problem I'm having is that the guide says it's playing one movie but when I click it, it's actually playing another
Glad the playlist worked for you.
I don't know what your new problem could be. This actually happened to me once last week. It was my fault however as I had let the movie be scraped as a different movie from what it actually was. You may want to check your nfo files and/or refresh the movie data. Does this happen withh all of your movies?
