And honestly you are coming across as a pompous know-it-all in the way you are responding. Which is moreso humorous because you really don't understand what I am talking about at all. What I am asking doesn't make PTV "less involved", it makes it more intuitive, and adds another customization option to one of the rule sets (by including something that already exists one place, in another). What I am asking is if the "Episode Count" count option that is part of "best-effort scheduling" could also be added to the interleaving options.
I have thousands of bumpers. I am not creating nfo's for all of them, or even some of them to achieve something that I could suggest be an automated process in one of the next releases of the product. I am not sure why you would want to discourage that sort of thing. As it is right now, it is impossible to interleave more than one episode of a show at a time, anywhere. I am simply asking if there can be an option to change that. You're naive if you think that is somehow taking away from PTV as it is now.
WOW!! talk about ungrateful!! I do know what you want to do... I would have to say your the ass in this case! Where do I even start to address why you are wrong...
lets start with Episode count, which is available through smart playlists...
Manually creating NFOS!! weren't computers invented to take repetition tasks and automate them! ever here of a NFO creator? and a bulk renamer!
and interleaving more then one episode of a show is possible if you would think out of the box, which you clearly can't...
I may be pompous at times... maybe even a d#$k but in this case you are waaaaayyy off the mark!
BTW no one is discouraging ideas for features to this addon... but unless you are doing the coding, I don't think you should dictate what features would get priority... which yours doesn't since almost everything you want could be achieved now!
Ungrateful? For what? You pointing me to a previous reply telling me how to do something I already said I knew how to do. Here's the rub. You haven't helped at all. You have just made suggestions that were counter-intuitive to my goals, then acted holier than thou when I tried to explain that what you suggested wasn't what I was looking for. You then criticized my question about functionality that could be added (not asked to you at all, because at this point I could already tell you had little to no authority over the topic at hand). It is really a trivial question, and is a feature I think could be helpful, and beneficial to a lot of people if possible. But to you, this is some sort of egregious request. How dare I suggest a method more elegant for pseudotv users that don't necessarily want to muck around with smart playlist where a simple option in the rules window might achieve the same thing. How dare I.
And clearly, from this:

You still have absolutely no idea what my goal is. No, I cannot use smart playlists, interleaving, NFO's(This is such a ridiculous idea. If I were in the same space as you I would slap you in the back of the head for even suggesting it.) to achieve it. I cannot even come close unless there is slight change in how PTV builds channels. I don't think it is such a ridiculous query. If you would stop trying to trip everyone with your e-penis in an attempt to prove you're the go-to guy around here, I might have a shot at talking with someone knowledgeable.
Or at least someone with enough decency to not act like an ass when someone starts talking about stuff that is over their head.
I feel bad for defending you from that other dude at this point.
LOL, Listen you are over reacting to everything... picking up complexes that don't exist... I wasn't shooting your opinion down... but suggestions don't do squat!! everyone has one!! want to change something go for it... can't? then you depend on the help of others... sure I sent you a link, should have opened your mind to ideas... but you expect a clear cut answer! Just because you want something that isn't a built in feature to PTV, doesn't mean you can't achieve the same effect with minimal work... Which we could have got to if you didn't over react, your acting like a child...? change the way ptv builds channels? ... do you even know how it works? if you did you would know that your format
