Good call, I'm not using extremely complex rules, so you may be on to something.
Jason complex question, may be better to talk in PM, but throwing it out there as a teaser:
Say I wanted to bypass the "watch now" ability of the program. Rather than having the EPG select use the SelectShow() function to select that specific content, I want use it as a global select that playlist file or channel. ie IF you see Big Bang Theory coming up and you click on it to play that show, rather than it doing that (as it is now) it loads that channel playing the current playlist content in prep for big bang to come on.
Got any tips for modifying?
I'm aiming for PTV to be viewed as a totally LIVE TV add-on. In that sense, one could not fast forward to the future and watch something, nor travel back in time to watch something. It's only what's on now. I'm thinking of pairing this with an on-demand channel that would bring up the Movie/TV library browser to allow for watching something other than what PTV has decided to air at that specific time.
I believe this will 100% remove all EPG syncing issues I'm seeing, and take this a true step towards what my wife and I enjoy about cable.. the programming. We don't pay for the content so much as the decisions made for us to play the content without the need for user intervention.
Let me know what you think and like I said before, PM me if you want.
I'm digging deep
Thought process here is if you're doing all the programming, you like all the shows, so sometimes having 1000s of options at your fingertips is more overwhelming than being spoonfed specific content. Would also allow for stricter/easier channel scheduling.
