Schedule Direct Issues

[zed]

I've been putting off looking at NPVR until Schedules Direct support was added. So today I downloaded the latest file and installed it. It installed OK as far as I can tell and the ATSC channel scan worked OK and found all the local channels but when I try to map them into the Schedules Direct channels I don't seem to get all of them from Schedules Direct. I have several that have sub-channels, like KAETDT1, KAETDT2, KAETDT3, and KAETDT4. The problem is that the SD channel drop-down only seems to show the last sub-channel for each channel, i.e. KAETDT4 in this example, so I can't map the others. They're all present in the SD report and it works with GB-PVR so I think SD is OK. I'm probably not doing something correctly...any ideas? Thanks...

If you zip and attach your c:\users\public\npvr\schedulesdirect.xml, we'll be able to look at the exactly what channels schedules direct says is in your lineup.

not to threadjack, but it seems at this point the only way to add channels from schedulesdirect is one-at-a-time. Might this change anytime soon?

If you're importing analog lineup, all the schedules direct channels are imported in one go.

If you want to remap the epg for lots of channels in one go, you can also use the bulk map screen.

Or, you if have digital channels you can continue to map them one at a time if you want, because not many people have more than a handful of digital channels anyway.

In "Device Setup" for my HD-PVR the only option for channel import seems to be xmltv...

you need the patch for that; it's listed in post 2 of the sticky thread in my sig

Here it is. Thanks...

The problem was occurring because you had multiple channel lineups with the same name but different channels ('Cox Communications').

The attached patch handles it.

I replaced that file (after stopping everything) but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I verified that the correct version (12/31/2010 1:21:50 PM) is in the NPVR directory.

I deleted the two Cox lineups since I don't use them any more but it still behaves the same. I'm trying to use the Local Broadcast lineup. It still only shows the highest sub-channel (i.e. KAETDT4...channel=8, channelMinor=4...there should be three others) in the Mapping drop-down in the Channel Details dialog.

I'll attach the latest xml file after removing the redundant lineups.

P.S. I tried xmltv and it works correctly using the Schedules Direct info. I suppose I could use it but 'native' SD is much simpler...

Do you see the line code in the lineup names? You should with this latest patch.
