i do have 1 request, i tried to put [even tho i noticed you said i couldn't..lol]
<Display-Name>{{NUM}} {{CS}}</Display-Name>
so i could get "## ABCD" format for channel to match what i have now...
but obviously it doesn't work..i do get the last ref in sequence..ie."ABCD" only in xml file...
or is there a combo type i could use? like:{{NUMCS}}?

[otherwise i have to redo all my lineups to match]

Well if Whurlston can't do it, you can always run a one line sql query to copy the 'display_name' to the 'name' in 'Channel'...

UPDATE CHANNEL SET display_name=name;

Ok, the display-names aren't working properly. <Display-Name>{{NUM}} {{CS}}</Display-Name> should work but it doesn't. I'll should have a fix later today. As for renumber, I didn't add that feature. I started to but I didn't think it would be necessary with the new naming convention for the IDs. There is also no way to currently reorder channels. I can do that if you really want it but it would not be till I finish the NetFlix plugin.

This build fixes the issue where the <display-name> is not correctly output from the settings. Sorry pBS, no combo type but "{{NUM}} {{CS}}" now works.

excellent...[num cs] even better..
i'll play with reordering the channels by reordering the .xml and see what happens...i think that may reorder the output too..
[keeping fingers crossed, don't want to make any extra work for you guys]

had my first glitch with mce while not having a capture card...
it works fine, but something got messed up with the hash's, but i went into MCE and had it do an update itself and that fixed everything...

i like the new version...i think i'm all set..will let you know if reordering works..

oh and to get "2 KPRC" instead of "KPRC" i had to edit sql line:
UPDATE CHANNEL SET display_name=channel_number || ' ' ||name;
although this didn't help as it's the actual 'name' field i have the info in i need to match, so i just copied back from the dislpay name field after i modded it to be correct..

but with the fix you made it's not needed anymore..
thanx again for releasing..

That was how I meant for it to work originally, hence the tab for it. I just forgot to fix the test code in that function.

Updated the wiki with these URLs. Got a bit more to do on the page. Can someone nudge me if there is a new build available? I'll be happy to update the URls as they need it...

[whurlston]

I'll PM you whenever I have a new build but unless there are more bugs, this should be it for a while.

Here's are some cosmetic suggestions: Revlon, Max Factor, Shiseido...

Seriously, Because you've allowed multiple tags on a line for DiaplayName, change the label saying only one per line...

Pick an Icon for your program...

Also, in the actual output the reference to generator-info-url="http://www.epgtools.com/MceEpg2XmlTv/" goes nowhere... Put up a dummy page or redirect to the wiki page...

Excellent work whurslton. Check out the wiki and see if there is anything I missed (other than the how to for the advanced features)

I think it's the same bug pBs found. While documenting, I tested the channels.. After saving, here's part of the config.xml

Code:

<Display-Names>
    <Display-Name>{{NUM}}{{CS}}</Display-Name>
    <Display-Name>{{NUM}}</Display-Name>
    <Display-Name>{{NAME}}</Display-Name>
    <Display-Name>{{AFF}}</Display-Name>
  </Display-Names>

But I still get

Code:

<channel id="46910865.NVPD.49">
    <display-name>NVPD</display-name>
    <display-name>49</display-name>
    <display-name>Newsworld Print Voice Data</display-name>
    <display-name>Cablecast</display-name>
  </channel>
