Hi!
Switching from tvheadend to npvr to use a HDMI Capture "card" with a Virgin Media cable box. Currently running 3.6.6 on W10 and trying to setup devices / channels, but struggling to do this with an HD-PVR2.
Pre-req: All hardware works fine. NPVR (and Kodi) can see the channel the STB is currently tuned to.
Is the channel list from the STB thats the problem.
1) I have a "lineup" file which contains the channel listings available on the STB. Can't find a way to import this XML file. Not supported I guess?
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
2) I have another tuner (free-to-air), works fine and uses the first 61 channels. When using "Import" on Devices and the HD-PVR2, the channels are sorted alfabetically and assigned the next free number, 62 and up:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
As per the image, "BBC One London" is on Channel 74 but is supposed to be channel 101. I right click and select "Edit Channel Settings", nothing happens?
3) I "Export Channels", modify the entry for "BBC One London" and "Import Channels". "BBC One London" is now on 101. Happy days!
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND][ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
This is a manual and labour intensive process. Also, as the channel listing from Virgin Media changes with the seasons and various special events, it would be rather cumbersome to manually try and keep the channels within npvr upto date.
So, the question: Can this be automated? How do others do this? Has someone already written a snippet do modify npvr.db3 to do this?
Google and seaching the forums didn't turn up anything?
