Viewing number of merged devices/sources

[2leftfeet]

In v4, when viewing channels in settings, the number of devices/sources for a merged channel was shown.  Is there an easy way to see this in v5?

With all the sources/devices I have and the crazy way SD names the channels, I am not sure how many channels were merged and from what source.  I am having a terrible bookkeeping effort on my hands.  It would be very helpful to see what sources were merged on a channel basis.

If you have access to sqlite or a GUI flavour this might do it. If you pass me your database I could confirm. It might save on bookkeeping

Code:

select channel_source_number, minor, channel.name, capture_source.name,
priority, channel_mapping.enabled, capture_source.enabled
from channel_mapping, channel, capture_source
where channel.oid = channel_oid
and
capture_source_oid = capture_source.oid
order by channel_source_number, minor, priority

Thanks for the offer, but I know nothing of sqlite (tried it in the past and foobar'd the DB, now I claim no knowledge). In my area there is a lot of channel changes on the local stations, (it seems like weekly). For now, I want to keep the locast channels separate from the OTA channels and cable channels - automerge is not my friend when comes to this - I had to unmerge multiple channels to get the right groupings and perform merges one channel at a time. Even after this, I am not sure I was able to determine if everything was merged correctly.

If there were some type of instant feedback on what was merged, it would be a lot easier to manage, particularly as the channel list on each source continues to change.

This is just a display query. I don't try and automerge OTA and cable either, I like the major minor numbers.

NextPVR auto everything is great for normal setup of similar devices when the user doesn't care which tuner is being used. Once you add multiple tuner types and extras it is complex especially with stupid SD naming.

There isn't an equivalent currently, but I'll try to add it.

It would be really helpful if you could, thanks!

In v4, I was able to enable/disable a device via a check box - In v5, is there an equivalent way to do this?

Sub, were you able to add this feature to 5.1.1?  It doesn't seem like you did.
