So I'm really confused on how the advanced channel rules are supposed to work.
I want a specific channel to do a couple of things:
1. Have the list of shows randomized so that the queue of shows will be different in each slot (i.e Show A, Show D, Show B, Show C etc). I think I've done this properly by setting my smart playlist to order it randomly right?
2. I also want the episode order of each show to start from the very first episode and then increment in order e.g. Show A starts at episode 1 and then the next time Show A is set to play, episode 2 will start.
That 2nd point is where I think I'm having problems. From what I understand, 'Even Show Distribution' is supposed to mean that a show can only queue the maximum number of episodes specified in the rule before another show will be queued in right? On top of that, 'Play shows in order' is supposed to do pretty much what is needed to accomplish the 2nd point. I had both of these rules set up in a specific channel but when I did a reset and launched the addon, shows still weren't being queued properly at all. Am I doing something wrong? Does the order of the rules make any difference?
