Export and Import of channels doesn't work

[GlenH]

I have one PC that for some reason just fast scans the tuner devices and doesn't find anything. Yes, I've been down this road before and fixed the problem on others using the documented resolution for that. It doesn't seem to work on this PC. Rather than spend time on figuring it out, I exported channels from a working PC and imported to the non-working PC as I've done in the past. (The channel refresh is due to the fact that new channels have become available.)

The imported list does not match the list on the exporting PC.

The first channel was completely missing. I looked closer and found all the channel numbers are wrong.

4.1 missing.
4.2 was 1
4.3 was 2
6.1 was 3
6.2 was 4

etc.

I tried editing the exported XML so that the <NUMBER>4</NUMBER> that appeared on all 3 of the first channels were 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 respectively. I edited the following channels similarly. An import gave the error "Unexpected error importing channels. Input string was not in the correct format."

NPVR v3.6.6

I'm guessing it'll be something to do with the major.minor support added for ATSC a few releases ago. Other types of channels wont have the problem. If you can post a database with ATSC numbers, I'll fix the round trip channel export/import.

I got around the problem by editing the XML file, changing all the NUMBERs to sequential integer numbers, importing the file, and then changing them individually back to the proper 4.1, 4.2, etc.

Attached the originating database file.

Thanks, I've fixed this for the next build.
