Is there a quicker way to Edit Channel Details?

[ModdingFriendly]

Hey 

I've just started using NextPVR so excuse me if I'm missing something obvious but the Edit Channel Details flow seems super slow for updating the mapping on a provider. For my xtream XMLTV I have 3430 options in the mapping dropdown so needing to scroll until I find the correct one each time is quite a task when I need to update 000's of them. Is it possible to swap this for a search box that we could type into and filter the results down as we go? 

My next issue (which might just be me misunderstanding how the feature is meant to work) when I select a group of channels and select `Auto Map` it ignores what I have selected and instead maps everything, is this expected? I feel like if I have selected a few channels I'd expect just those channels to get changed. 

(I'm also running in Docker so if Docker is the problem I can try running it on Windows and moving the files after)

+1 to only automap when the type is None, unless you are mapping to None.

For a PVR it is best to limit stations to those you will watch and record from. 3000+ certainly feels extreme

Hey Martin

I'm only pulling 10 or so stations but the xtream and the XMLTV has all these additional channels that I need to scroll through forever in order to find the specific channel I need. Since the auto map seems to fail to grok the name properly.

You probably want this then https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid586502 sub doesn't always respond to wishlist requests but he reads them. Best to use providers that don't need as much maintenance IMO

That's exactly what I was looking for <3 Sorry I didn't see it before.

I wish I didn't now I understand where they are coming from making 1 entry per channel but when they include every teletext channel under the sun it makes you question it xD

Thanks for your help!

Since the auto map seems to fail to grok the name properly.

It can only do so much. It checks for a name match, or a common variations to names...but ultimately it's going to need pretty much the same name in the channel list and the guide data for NextPVR to be able to tell these channels should be automapped.

Sorry @sub, I went digging into the xml that the server was returning and realised it's not NextPVRs fault the provider returns all the channels with no EPG information under the same ID so when it auto maps it maps to a massive groupID and picks the first one in the index (which is why I thought it wasn't mapping properly)
