Lunatixz: I believe mwkurt is correct, you need to have the .xsp after the file name in the mixed playlist. You said that the mixed playlist works in XBMC? I'm surprised, I didn't think it supported mixing tv and movies...I had to add that in specifically.
distracto: Couple of ways you could do this. As mwkurt suggested, you could make the channel so that it pauses when you're not watching it. You could also add the rule to only play watched shows. If you want only watched episodes of Mad Men but all episodes of the simpsons, then you could create a channel with only Mad Men, have a rule to play in order, have another to play only watched, then interleave in a channel that has all simpsons episodes. With that option, make sure that the simpsons channel has a rule to not actually play it.
mwkurt: Force Random controls where in the playlist the channel starts. Normally (when in the default real-time mode) it will continue the channel based on the time (like real tv). When you use random mode, it will start in a random location in the playlist. Playing shows in order is just how the playlist is ordered. So the two together would mean that you start the channel at a random spot in the series, but from there the episodes play in order.
