Impossible to move channels in Kodi channel manager #110

Open M-Reimer opened 6 years ago

M-Reimer commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour, so I'm filing this issue.

I tried to move a channel in the Kodi channel manager. I selected one channel entry, chose "move" and moved it to a new position. Then I closed the channel manager with "OK".

If I open the channel manager again, then the channel is still where it was. Nothing was moved...

Which Kodi version?

Have you deactivated "Use channel order from backend(s)" in Kodi's PVR settings? I admit that rearranging channels should not be possible in channel manager if this setting is activated. Will make a note to myself to fix that.

I think that I have this enabled. Why does Kodi not support to change the channel order directly on the "backend"? Would be actually quite handy to be able to rearrange channels this way as VDR's ways to rearrange channels suck...

You have to disable it if you want to move channels.

Why does Kodi not support to change the channel order directly on the "backend"?

Two possibilities: No dev has stepped up to implement it or none of the backends supported by Kodi does provide an API for channel number management so it would make no different to have it in Kodi. I don't know.

There are so many other features you can control in the various backends supported by Kodi, but not in Kodi itself. Same answer as before for all of those.
