The Virtual Channels are a really cool feature. The only complaint I have so far is that it randomly schedules the episodes from all over a series instead of recognizing them in chronological order. Will that eventually be a configurable option? I'd rather it always flow in chronological order myself. The series is numbered in the correct order and Channels recognizes the episode numbers, seasons, etc.
Yes. Lots of things will be more configurable as this feature is developed.

I have checked for pre-release version and it says I am up to date.
Fix coming in next build. Thanks for reporting. The goal right now is to get the backend very stable, so then we can start going crazy adding features on top.

This is going to be great. I still use Infuse for some content but would like to move it all to channels with this new organization capability.....if I understand this all correctly.
Can something be added to multiple collections? e.g. My wife and I have many shows that would be in separate collections but some I would like to put a few shows/movies in both and/or a family collection.
Aman, version 2021.07.18.1718 seems to break DVR -> Manage -> Shows view.
with all sources selected, i can see the recordings the dvr did/is doing along with library but it breaks when choosing recordings. it doesnt display any of the recordings or recordings in progress

thanks.
All Sources with two recordings:
Recordings says no items found:
Fixed in next build.
EDIT: v2021.07.18.1806 is ready now

Very cool!
It would be neat to add a channel logo for the guide, brief commercials between programs that I can make my own "channel up next" like my own tv network. then an optional watermark overlay on the video when playing.
I love these new features!

lol what commercials are you going to add or is more like personal touches ?
A personal station id or an "coming up next". Like my own tv network. I'd get a kick out of that.

Wow, I can't believe this is actually happening! I've been seeking a solution just like Virtual Channels for over a decade. So excited to give this a whirl!
