Hi all
What I would like to see implemented on NextPVR is the ability to search through a selected EPG souce, as channels are mapped.
I prefer to stitch each EPG to the channel manually, as it irons out issues, and is usually rock solid , even though it can be more hands on. I also several NextPVR servers on a Wireguard Link, which are shut off from being accessed externally, which basically are set up in countries which I need to access geoblocked content, so I am able to export the M3u file to my main NextPVR without worrying about hackers, but unfortunately can't do the same with the EPG XML So the EPGs are mapped on my main PVR. This all works beautifully, however setting up the EPG and mapping channels due to TVGID NextPVR-xxxx isn't recognised to I have to build a new EPG from scratch.
When one is working through a large EPG xml file it is extremely time consuming having to manually look through a EPG channel mapping , even if one taps the letter on the keyboard to only look through Channel names that start with F, but if one is looking for for example "Fox US" there are a million and one different fox channels for different cities, and states. So it takes sometimes up to half an hour to find a single channel. Please consider adding a server for example if I search for "WNYW" on a source that has a WNYW channel, it automatically finds it, and lets me select it as a EPG source for that channel. Manually looking through a EPG XML with 1000+ channel info takes ages, and there must be a fix to select the correct channel mapping easier.
I have attached a screenshot where the search button could potentially be located. This would save me a lot of time, and cannot believe such a basic feature hasn't already yet been added.
I look forward to hearing responses, and hopefully seeing this implemented.
Thanks
