I've seen Teenage Wolverine Airplane Monkeys but the sequel totally ruined it for me. That sounds like an issue with a string variable not getting clear properly in the playlist loop.

I have a funny feeling some of the issues I'm having pertain to my iso backups. If I can figure it out I personally want every iso the playlist finds to be thrown to a special DVD channel. I tried but I can not get the playlist to let me select file type and exclue it. Not saying I can get anywhere with scripting, but I'm going to try.
ISOs are a tricky bunch. XBMC cannot grab the stream details automatically while it's being scanned into the database. For those, and DVD Video_TS files I believe, they are only extracted during the first play of the file. So for every ISO you have, you'll have to go through and play each one for a minute or two in order for XBMC to populate the database with the necessary information.
Also, as you said you're trying to add durations yourself, this needs to be done in streamdetails table associated with the file and not in the movie / episode table.

Honestly if stream channels and a DVD channel can be put into this script, XBMC will be perfect for me. Also possible channels that are off air till certain times to re-create past station lineups, like TGIF. This script will make XBMC that much more perfect for me. And once PVR is finished I'll be in heaven.
Few hiccups now are worth what's coming down the road.
I agree, something like this would be great but IMO having images, with text, at that size would be a headache to read from 10 feet away. Having said that, getting thumbnail images, logos, etc, is something to look forward to and opens even more ideas.
Also, channels that are available at certain times of the day, or having the ability to have a channel that changes playlists depending on the time of day would be great.
