Create your own (Paul, 6 November 2026) comes with playback styles: in order, shuffled, blocks or marathon, alongside the Director's Chair's matching. Content groups for shorts (short cartoons bundled into half-hour slots) are their own scheduler engine, separate from custom channels: Tots and ToonZ use it whether or not custom channels are on, and Create your own's "blocks" style uses the same engine. A block keeps its individual episodes underneath (each with its own entry, start and runtime), so Catch Up, programme progress, Kids restrictions and the Director's Chair still see exactly what aired; the block is only how the guide and idents present them (Paul, 6 November 2026). Not built yet; each needs its own proposal and approval.
