Automatic SD mapping

[mvallevand]

After going through an rather arduous atsc mapping to schedules direct (10+ clicks each) I'd like to propose an automated solution. If NextPVR kept the major/minor from the scan, it could all be automated against channel/channelMinor

Code:

<lineup id='PC:K1A0' name='Local Broadcast Listings' location='Antenna' type='LocalBroadcast' postalCode='K1A0R2'>
<map station='10130' channel='2'/>
<map station='10137' channel='36'/>
<map station='52235' channel='9' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='52689' channel='50' channelMinor='2'/>
<map station='58494' channel='4' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='64990' channel='60' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='64994' channel='14' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='68025' channel='13' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='68285' channel='65' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='72715' channel='43' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73010' channel='6' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73016' channel='24' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73107' channel='34' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73190' channel='42' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73192' channel='11' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73196' channel='30' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='73198' channel='40' channelMinor='1'/>
<map station='74704' channel='41' channelMinor='2'/>
</lineup>

Code:

2013-07-08 18:49:09.009    [INFO][1]    Metadata:

Another reason for preferring the major/minors is one of my ATSC channels changes SID. Speculation is the delivery from the network changes from fiber to satellite on occasion. The OTA frequency is the same (although SID 3 is lower bandwidth but not much I can do about that)

Code:

<sdt>
  <tsid>17195</tsid>
  <onid>0</onid>
  <service>
    <service_id>0x1</service_id>
    <service_name>CIII-HD</service_name>
    <service_provider_name>ATSC</service_provider_name>
    <major>6</major>
    <minor>1</minor>
    <service_type>0x1</service_type>
    <running_status>1</running_status>
  </service>
</sdt>

Code:

<sdt>
  <tsid>17195</tsid>
  <onid>0</onid>
  <service>
    <service_id>0x3</service_id>
    <service_name>CIII-HD</service_name>
    <service_provider_name>ATSC</service_provider_name>
    <major>6</major>
    <minor>1</minor>
    <service_type>0x1</service_type>
    <running_status>1</running_status>
  </service>
</sdt>

It would be great if I didn't have to update the database or scan so often to watch this channel. It is one of the most important and one day I expect I'll miss a show.
