If you want to refresh a channel you need to delete it from the local folder and the share folder. I dont think it is supposed to do anything different as it is in fact "sharing" channels.
As for episodes repeating, its because there is nothing else for it to play, what did you expect? You have it set to play only unwatched content, if you have 20 such episodes that meet all of that criteria it will loop those 20 episodes. It doesnt just get to the end and then leave you with an empty channel. Combined with even show distribution and playing in order you will likely get the exact same lineup every time the channel is refreshed as well.
Hello spanktastic2120,
You may be right, but I have like 33,000 episodes of which over 20,000 are not watched, so I don't think it is a problem of not having enough episodes. Guess I am doing something wrong so I will just drop it. However, I do think that in the version of PTV I used with Dharma, if the m3u that was in the shared folder was deleted, the channel would regenerate. I also believe that the copying went from the shared folder to the local folder for syncing purposes, which makes more sense to me, rather than saving from the local folder to the shared folder. Although I am not sure about this as I have never had this problem previously to my upgrading to Frodo along with upgrading PTV.
Thanks anyway,
Mark
