Bugreport channel names

[MediaDept]

Hi,

I found a little bug in guide.aspx as well as in guide2.aspx regarding the channel names: There is a channel named "3sat" which is stored as channel number 3. In the TV guide overview, it is displayed as "at". On the details page it is displayed correctly as "3sat". I haven't tried yet moving it to another channel number, so don't know, if channel names starting with numbers are a problem in general or if it is this special case that the channel name starts with the number of the channel number.

Thanks for reading

Hi,

I had a look to the source code and found the relevant lines in Guide.aspx.cs (line 220 ff.):

Code:

string channelName = channel.getName();
if (channelName.StartsWith(channel.getChannelNumber().ToString())) // cosmetic stuff for my american friends
{
    if (channelName != channel.getChannelNumber().ToString())
    {
        channelName = channelName.Substring(channel.getChannelNumber().ToString().Length + 1);
    }
    else
    {
        channelName = "";
    }
}

Is it possible to make this "correction" configurable?

Thanks

This is fixed in the next release.....I updated the code to use the object properties rather than class methods to get the information to display.
