Virtual Channel and Rule Editor

Channels DVR Server

Devs,
I'm having an issue with the rules editor properly filtering content for a Virtual Channel. I've created a VC for animated shows, but only S1/E1. The editor does filter only animated, but the functioning of any additional rules becomes random after that:

  1. Shows are filtered for S1, but not E1 - other episodes are included
    or
  2. Shows include other season and episodes besides 1 (season, 2, season 3, season 5)
  3. If a Title filter is added to exclude a show, the episodes may or may not be removed, and if removed, the show itself still shows as selected content and still shows up in the grid. This seems to be only happening with one show - I've refreshed grid, but the show - all seasons and episodes appear - even if excluded.
  4. Regardless of whether simple or advanced editor used, other rules are persistently shown, but the Season/Episode rules disappear after being saved.

See attached examples..

Thank you...

Looks like there are some bugs.

For season/episode, if you change from 1 to 2 then back to 1 it should work

To exclude a tv show, looks like you would need to use an advanced rule to add name!=[Storm Hawks]

I fixed this bug for the next build

Yep...that fixed the selection AND the Season/Episode rules remain visible in the simple and advanced editor!!

Thank you!!
