Wishlist: Improved EPG Management

[johnny g]

I'd love to see an improvement in the mechanism for EPG's.

1. Either by drag'n'drop of the channels into order, or by exporting the xml mapping to CSV for manipulation in Excel and importing back in for setting orders/groups, etc.

2. Ability to press F2 to rename something in Bulk Map

3. Possibly interface with http://tv.sky.com/tv-guide for Sky UK Customers

That's it so far. Awesome program, only been running it for 2 days and I'm loving it.

Yes, isn't it a pain to set the initial channel list for Sky!. Worse still when they shuffle channels around.

Being able to auto-merge channels in the channel list would be really helpful. I have six sources for some and seems to take ages to get them all merged.

Totally.
I have a TBS Quad DVB-S and a Quad DVB-T, now when I scan, I have 8 instances of E4, Dave, BBC, etc. That's a lot to merge :/

There's an auto-merge button under the bulk mapping section that I've used when setting up and it seemed to do the job??

It's not worked too well for me, sadly. Seems to merge some but not all.

I just changed to Schedules Direct from the free guide w/xmltv since the free guide stopped being offered. Bulk mapping could use a tweak to map channels better. Channels 4.1, 4.2, 10.1, 10.2 etc are shown only by the 4, 10, etc on the left and get mapped to the ".1" in the guide. One has to then go through all the alternate channels and remap them.

Can you zip and attach your npvr.db3? I'll check it here, and update Bulk Map to make it more straight forward.

Attached as requested. Thank you.

Thanks. I think this is now resolved for the next release.
