thanks for this awsome addon. this is one of the best xbmc addon!
I want to ask if there is a future plan to merge this addon as an xbmc virtual pvr so all the virtual channels will be added to the list of the live tv channels in xbmc.
thank you!
There is already an addon that does this. It's a fork of the PTV development branch created by Lunatixz. Anyways, here it is:

Your post got me thinking that it actually means to randomize episodes on start up. Sure enough, when I disable it, the same episode is playing when I exit and restart. Thanks.
I'm a little confused I thought you used Allway Sync. Isn't that real-time syncing? Why do you pull and send files from the "home base" folder? How do you initiate the file transfer upon opening and closing XBMC? What happens if you don't kill the one XBMC and you then try to run PTV on another machine?
I do use Allway Sync. You could use it to sync whenever a change is made to the PTV files. I have found though that if I am just watching one particular channel all of the time, which is my general use, then no changes are made to the PTV files, hence no file transfer occurs.
The way that I initiate the transfer is to use Event Ghost to watch for XBMC Open/kill events which starts Allway Sync and moves my files.
What happens if I do not move my files is that the "Real Time" place that my channel is stopped is not used when I start another XBMC instance. Instead, the "Real Time" place of the initial XBMC opening is used and I wind up seeing the same episodes over again, unless I fast forward through the episodes I have already watched.
Glad to have helped you a liitle,

FYI. I'm not sure what did it, but channel sharing is working flawlessly for me all of the sudden. I've been testing the hell out of it and it's worked fine each and every time. I had read others saying it works for them and now it indeed works for me too.
Have you tried using sharing from scratch? In other words, create a shared folder, point an install of PTV to it and let it create channels. I have and only some of the created channels are actually transferred to the shared folder.
How are you doing the sharing?
