Super classy, bud. Can't get someone to hold your hand so you throw a fit and call people names. I'll say it because I have no real reputation around here. But you're acting like an effing child, Gary. Stop. If you are having such a problem with it, and want to throw a fit and walk away, then do it. But coming back and throwing a tantrum wont get you any help, and you certainly wont get any sympathy when you openly plan to speak ill of a product because you couldn't figure out how to make it work.
Now onto something more useful. I was wondering if anyone would mind brainstorming with me on a certain programming setup I am trying to pull off. I'm trying to set up sequential programming blocks, similar to stuff like Toonami, Adult Swim, or Saturday Morning Cartoons. For example, I would like to set up a Toonami block to air on my Cartoon Network channel from 4:00 - 7:00 pm. Currently I pull this off simply enough by creating a Toonami channel then "best-efforting" that in at around 4:00 for about 18 episodes (9 episodes @ 22min each + one bumper between each episode = ~3.3hours). Which works well enough, but I would like to schedule some more specific programming.
The setup I would like would be more similar to the actual television programming. Air shows by episode sequentially, with the same shows each day, and (hopefully) bumpers specific to the content of the shows currently being aired.So, it would look something like this:
And then the next day it begins at episode 3 of each series, and so on. I am just not sure exactly how to do this. Short of manually creating a playlist by hand. Is this something that can be achieved by smart playlists, interleaving, or a combination of the two? So far I have had little luck in a format like this using them I thought it might be something I could do mostly with smart playlists, but as far as I can tell the ordering options are lacking.
