I have it set for Resume so it "remembers" at what point I stopped and picks up again when entering. This works well and by using some tricky psuedo folder links and dropbox I have it synched between all machines so if I stop in the lounge I can resume in any other room (in addition to all channels being updated in all locations).
It works fine but doesn't update if I skip episodes or FF UNLESS I do some channel surfing.
While posting just a couple of questions in regards to how the channel updating works:
1 - When I set to Force a channel update and NOT background update It updates a few channels then doesn't update any further (lets say the first 5 channels I have) but if I then exit and go back in it will update the next couple of channels and then stop and so on. Is this to prevent having to wait for 10 minutes for a new channel scan so you can just get in and start watching?
2 - When set to automatically update channels, how is this done? Lets say I add new shows yo XBMC, how long before these will be added to the existing channels?
3 - If set to do background updating are new shows and channels added automatically when decided (IE if new shows are available are these mixed in the current channels at some point or do you need to get so far through the channel before an update occurs).
4 - Is the current channel layout preserved when new shows are added or is the entire channel rebuilt?
Just trying to figure out how it will all work before fully dedicating the script for general WAF use.
BTW: The latest update to add shows in sequence order seems to be perfect. Exactly what I want. Once my channels are set and tested this weekend while the wife and kids are away I will sneak off some drinks your way
