Channels - Auto Map Instructions?

[rjbeep]

There is a fair bit of inconsistency between different xmltv sources. These ones that come from zap2xml have multiple display names for each channel, and it was incorrectly choosing the display name that was only a number (ie, <display-name>2.1</display-name>), and trying to match that against the channel name.

I've made a tweak for the next build, which works better with zap2xml xmltv files, and gets the majority of your mappings automatically.

Oh wow. That’s great. Thanks very much for the adjustment. I’ll look forward to the next release. 

thanks again!

Hi Sub,

If I were to hand edit the channels in the xml file, could you tell me what the current routines are having a problem with? Is there something I might be able to modify in my xml that would allow the current build to auto-map?
I'm just curious what's going on and I have some time to play around with the xml file.
thanks again for the help!

It was the multiple <display-name> entries in the xmltv file. If it only had a single <display-name>, matching the name of the channels NextPVR knows them as, then it should work.

I'll try to get that next build out in the next couple of days.
