Hi Sub,

Foxtel (AUS) have added some channels to the line-up and I'm trying to work out the easiest way to add them to the HD-PVR channel list.

Firstly, Add Channels doesn't work at all through the Web Gui - I have to use Import Channels.
Secondly, with Import Channels, is it possible to add a {xmltv id} tag to the blaster args, that picks up the HD-PVR channel to blast from the xmltv file? Currently {channel} simply adds the new NextPVR channel, and not the Blaster Channel.

Here's my xmltv snippet:

So "Fox ONE" needs to blast channel 101 to my colossus, not 816.

Really hope this is possible, as when I update the xmltv file with new channels, I could then simply clear and refresh the channels easily.

Unfortunately the xmltv file format didn't define a channel number field, so there is no consistent place for this to be stored, and different xmltv files do it in different ways. For some EPG sources, they add an extra <display-name> with just the channel number. NextPVR should be able to interpret these as a channel number, giving you what you need.

I'm not sure of the best way to import just the channels. It might be going through the import again, but hit the checkbox next to the number column, to unselect all the channels, then tick just the channels you want to add. I'll try to come up with something smoother in the future.

Hi Sub,

Do you have an example of an xmltv node that will use the "extra" <display-name> node with just the channel number? I currently have <display-name> which shows the channel name obviously. I have full control of producing this xmltv file, as I build it from a powershell script.

Here is one of my channels

Code:
    <channel id="I7.10127.schedulesdirect.org">
        <display-name>CJOH</display-name>
        <display-name>7</display-name>
        <display-name>13 CJOH fcc</display-name>
        <display-name>7 CJOH</display-name>
        <display-name>Independent</display-name>
    </channel>

        <display-name>7 CJOH</display-name>
        <display-name>Independent</display-name>
    </channel>

So when you import channels, does the blaster argument see channel 7 if you use {channel} in the import UI?
Would be nice if the channel name is the first <display-name> node and the {channel} variable reflects what is in the second <display-name> node.
Are there also a list of variables to use? Ie - anything other than {channel}?

Damo, can you supply your xmltv file? I'll try it here to see what happens.

Sure, my current one only has a single <display-name> element though:

<channel id="101">
<display-name lang="en">FOX One</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="105">
<display-name lang="en">UKTV</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="106">
<display-name lang="en">LifeStyle</display-name>
</channel>

Attached in any case.

It definitely can't get the channel number from there - this is the only xmltv file I've seen that has a channel number in the channel id attribute.

So if I change it to:

<channel id="101">
<display-name lang="en">FOX One</display-name>
<display-name lang="en">101</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="105">
<display-name lang="en">UKTV</display-name>
<display-name lang="en">105</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="106">
<display-name lang="en">LifeStyle</display-name>
<display-name lang="en">106</display-name>
</channel>



You can help?
