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 formatis possible now with some work... but better then achieve your goal, cry and act like a child... good for you..Code:Block intro

Then show me genius. Quit talking like you know the magic trick, and put up the results. It's not like I haven't tried or anything (guess what "episode count" isn't a thing in smart playlists. Are you utterly confused and thinking of playcount?)
I'm acting like a child? I've given clear and cogent responses, reasoned and well explained descriptions, and you insist that this is something that is far less complex than it is. I assume either because you really don't understand what the goal is (even though it is literally right in front of you), or it is more complex than you are capable of understanding. You suggestions are ludicrous. Querying a public forum where the creator reads posts, about the possibility of added functionality on the other hand, is very common. Being confronted by a users like you, that are abrasive, unhelpful, and demeaning however is not common. Really? You accuse me of being a child. After the way you have acted, and the language you have used? Ugh. Listen, kid. I am done talking with you.
I could write the functionality in myself, it's just python. But I thought it might be more prudent to use the forum and ask about it with people that might be more familiar with the source than I.
So, would anyone willing to have an intelligent conversation about my query like to talk. I am looking for anyone who is familiar with scheduling complex channels. Mor complex than anything users whose sole purpose here is to inflate their ego by "answering" as many questions as possible can understand. Quality, not quantity. I want to do much more than interleave a few shows and one folder of bumpers. And adding NFO's to the bumpers is just a waste of time and hard drive space. And one of the most ludicrous ideas I have ever heard.
Remember, I asked if anyone was willing to "brainstorm". Not point at the basic how-to for interleaving, and then instead of conversing any further just insist it can be done over and over without adding anything else of use except name calling when you are told that you aren't helping..
