In an effort to update this code to fit standards of Python3, changes have been made to code allowing it to run.
NOTE: At this point the basics have been tested. i.e. -g -xml -u -m -r in that order. More extensive testing should occur before we throw this to master.
Users pointed out that there was an issue where the strict_time entries were still creating 24 hr sets of commercials. This issue has been fixed; if there is an issue of overlap with strict time, no commercials will be played as expected.
Now, there is the ability to run random episodes in a TV series, without ruining your place in the series designation.
To do so, simply edit your xml file so the lines title=<<name of show as usual>>, and the line's type=random.
Before making changes to the update-channels-from-git.sh file, I wanted to have everything stored in such a way that it made logical sense where it went.
Anything that goes to the root folder is in "main-dir", channel specific files are in "channel-dir", and the files for both sections are in "both-dir". These directories will eventually be referenced in the new version of "update-channels-from-git.sh".
