[Feature Request?] Flagging TV Tuner channels as radio channels.

[lsu jonno]

Hey guys,

I have a question/request. XBMC has a submenu item called "Radio Channels" under the "Live TV" main menu item. Presumably, this submenu item will pull up any FM radio stations that you can receive as reported by your PVR back-end. I say presumably because I don't have an FM tuner in my computer to test this function.

Through my cable carrier I have access to digital music channels that get mapped like any other channel to my EPG when NPVR scans my tuners (HDhomerun Prime) for channels. Currently I separate these music channels from my regular TV channels using the channel grouping feature in NPVR and that works well enough. My question is this, is there a way to flag these music channels as "Radio Channels" in NPVR so that it will report them to XBMC as "Radio Channels" thereby separating them from my Live TV EPG in XBMC and putting them in the separate menu item "Radio Channels"?

If this is not possible, is this a feature that would draw enough interest to implement?

Thanks.

Right now my clear QAM cable radio stations do show up in the radio link in Gotham. My guess is your stations have a video feed too (typically I've seen some low quality art). You might need to create a channel group for these and another channel group for all the users if you want to separate them, since it is not clear what would happen in xbmc if a radio station has video.
