That works, no problem. But if I try to populate a specific show title, even one show (I've narrowed down from trying 3 to just 1 for testing...), then that's when things break. I even tried a one-word show title... no luck. Next, I tried switching the content type to Movies, and then entered a one-word movie title in the Always Include field... this did not work either. I'll take a look at it. Maybe it's a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for helping to rule this out. Your shows... titles are not in quotations or anything... right? Just title names, example: Lost in Space|Survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrentc3 40 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Gonna chime in here. Some behavior has definitely been changed in a recent point release. I just upgraded to 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 and a lot of my existing channels had a number of issues with guide data generation. Some of my channels where it was set to just "Always Include..." didn't work. The "Always include" was the only rule I had set. I added an asterisk to "Genre" and that seemed to resolve those. However, I do still have a lingering issue with one of my channels. There is only one rule set and it's for a specific tag. The source library folder is a single folder that contains mixed content. I only have certain movies with the requisite tag applied. The guide data generation fails to find any items, regardless of setting the "Channel Content Type" to Movies or MixedContent. This channel was working in earlier versions of VTV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's going on. I guess I could split out the mixed content library folder configuration to the separate movies & tv shows child folders and see if that fixes it.

I will say that the channels started misbehaving last week after an apt update && apt upgrade -y && reboot. Maybe some dependent package was updated?

I have no problem uninstalling everything and reinstalling fresh, then testing again... I just tested again with a fresh install and then again with the portable version 4.7.11 for Windows. I even narrowed down my Media library to one show/season, just to simplify (and prevent Emby from taking forever to scan a larger media set). Neither of these instances populated Guide programming for my test channel... I suspect something is angry... Do you want any log data?

AaronClarke 1 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 For what its, worth... I have tested this. I have created a test channel to only show 3 specific TV Shows using this rule and it works... The Channel Guide only contains the shows I have specified... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egadgetkids 1 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Thanks all. Glad it's working for some. I would encourage those who can to test a fresh installation to see if you develop the same issues I did. In the meantime, I have decided to retire my own efforts for now.

hstamas 153 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 @pünktchenif you ever feel like it’s time to expand the feature set of VirtualTV here’s a suggestion! I like to keep an instance of Plex running just to mess around with things and use ErsatzTV as my VirtualTV alternative. One really cool feature is alternate schedules. Basically you can use it to schedule programming or subsets of programming based on alternate days/weeks/months. In my case I use it to play episodes of House Hunters only on weekends. Pretty cool.

Another Feature I would like to see it to be able to dictate what time a channel starts showing content... i.e.. I had a Horror channel but the wife wasn't happy that the kids could view it on the main TV during the day. Would be hand to be able to tell a channel only to show programs between certain times... e.g 9pm - 3am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
