Merge channels

[david_s_hum]

Hi,

I have a Ceton infinitv 4 and I can add my tuners and scan for channels but when I auto merge there are channels with the same name that I want to keep separate. I could one by one merge the channels or rename the duplicates but there are 900 channels and about 275 duplicate names I want to keep separate.

Is there a way of just sequentially merging the channels? Maybe in SQLite or xml?

How is the merged channel information stored in the channel table?

Thanks,
David

How is the merged channel information stored in the channel table?

After a channel has been merged ...

There is one one row in the ... channel ... table for that channel and multiple rows in the ... channel_mapping ... table with one row per capture source (i.e tuner).

Recordings, for example, are scheduled to be recorded on an instance of a channel identified by ... channel_source_oid ... and ... channel_oid ...

thanks! I figured it out now. Just had to copy the channel oids from the first tuner to the other tuners in the channel mapping table.david
