This last channel is what I would like opinions on. This is the new behavior: if a channel needs to be updated when starting up, it will be done in the background while something else is playing. Namely, if channel 10 needs to be updated, it won't be loaded on startup. Other channels will load and start playing. After some amount of time, a notification will appear saying that channel 10 is available and then it will work.
So I'd like opinions on if this works well, or if it makes sense at all.
The Background updating works well, although I did find that it wouldn't update a custom playlist in the background for some reason, also I couldn't get it to save and enable serial mode for the tv show channel.
Looking forward to what you have planned for the Advanced Channel Rules..
ps. updated all skins with the new Directory channel config and are ready for the Adv. Ch. Rules.
