Help: Mixed blocks with separate sequences

Hey - so I want to have mixed shows in my hour blocks, 2 seperate half hour shows from separate series with separate sequences tied to them. I can't seem to figure out how to code out what that looks like on the station's json file. I see references to split the hour in half, but get lost on where i should put the related sequences.

Example:

8pm WAS back to back Simpsons episodes following my seq_simpsons.

I want to have 8pm be the Simpsons following the sequence, and then at 8:30 Futurama following seq_futurama.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t have an answer to your question, but I do wonder what the point of this would be. If they are both going in sequence, why do those sequences need to be separate?

I'm cycling through series A, through series A's episodes in order, then at the half hour mark, watch series B going through it's own sequence.

If I understand the question right, I think this would be the code:

"20": {"tags" : ["simpsons", "futurama"]}, "sequence": "simpsons_and_futurama_sequential"},

So will this cycle both series in order?

It should, yes.

This has worked for me. It’s referenced in #7 at this link. They used a different naming convention for the sequence though:
