Guide is off

scharfy777

So ive created collections and channels organizing my tv shows based on the real life networks they were actually on, ABC, NBC, CBS, and so on....The channels are live and they show up in the guide....but no matter what channel you click on its never playing the correct show. Its always a difffernt show than what the guide says is supposed to be playing.

I have every channel set to:
Start Type: Dynamic
Playback Order: Shuffle
Playout Mode: Multiple
Multiple Mode: Collection Size

GPT is telling me I have to make Channels and collections that sortmy shows based on length and then provide filler to keep the guide on track. is that right? like i need to put shows that are 45min to an hour together in a channel, and then sitcoms that are 22,im top 30 min together?

The first thing I would check is Settings > XMLTV > XMLTV Time Zone. Some clients ignore the offset (time zone) that is in the XMLTV and interpret it as UTC or local, which may be incorrect. I would try changing it from whatever it is to the other value, and clearing/reloading the XMLTV in whatever client you are using to watch the channels to see if things look more accurate.

It is also critical that your ETV installation has correct time and time zone. The way that this is configured can change depending on which version of ETV you are using, so you would have to paste the full version from below the left menu before I could suggest anything.
