Channel editor option might be missing from frontend webapp #884

Closed white-haired-uncle closed 2 months ago

white-haired-uncle commented 3 months ago

What steps will reproduce the bug?

http://mythbackend:6544/setupwizard/channel-editor

There is no option, that I can find, to use channel scan. Also, I was unable to set Multiplex until I added the channel via mythtv-setup->channel scan.

[Additionally, after adding channel 458, no matter how I tried to sort, it showed in with the 3* channels. I should open separate issue for this after upgrade]

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

What is the expected behaviour?

What do you see instead?

Additional information

I know I need to upgrade to v34 proper, and I will do so when possible. For now, I wanted to get this down before I forgot any of the details.

There are three other options (like Edit Transports) at the bottom of the mythtv-setup channel editor main view that I don't see in webapp either.

kmdewaal commented 3 months ago

The v34-pre was the development version (a.k.a. master) before the release of v34. During the development the features of mythtv-setup have been one by one included in the webapp setup. When development was complete v34 has been released.

The good news is that all your problems have most likely already been resolved in what is now release v34. Please upgrade to v34 and check if the problems reported in this ticket have been fixed.

Channel scan is at http://backend:6544/setupwizard/input-connections . Select your device and click the button labeled "Scan for Channels".

Editing of transports is in the channel editor. Click the pencil icon for a channel. In the dialog box scroll to the bottom and click "Advanced Settings"

Okay, I see the channel scan. Not where I was expecting it, but I suppose it makes sense. Thanks.

After upgrading to fixes/34 [v34.0-18-g5590d0d5eb] I'm still unable to find the Edit Transports (Advanced Settings has only Multiplex and Service ID), Restore Data, or Import Icons. FWIW, I don't think I've ever used any of these three.

I believe that edit transports was found to be unnecessary. Users do not normally have a reason to edit those manually. Is there a need for that? The channel scan should fill in all of the needed values for you.

white-haired-uncle commented 3 months ago

I've never needed it, just noticed that it was gone. Same for Restore Data and Import Icons. If these were removed intentionally then I think all is well and this should be closed.

My only real concern was the channel scan, and that's a non-issue.

Thanks

I don't know if Import Icons is needed. Icons are now supplied with the setup of schedules direct. Maybe import ions is still needed by some people.

Where is Restore Data? I don't know what that is or where it is in the old setup.

I use the Steppes theme. It seems that theme is missing the Restore Data button. I will look into it.

I do not understand what Restore Data is supposed to do. What deleted channel does it copy from and to where? I cannot get it to do anything. Screenshot_2024-03-20_12-03-51

If using EIT exclusively?

Hello to Jason Isaacs

bennettpeter commented 3 months ago

My task now is to add "Restore Data" and "Import Icons" to the web app. This will be for the next version, they did not make it into V34.

bennettpeter commented 3 months ago

I have added Restore Data to the web app in these commits 2e4657804a 9dc9ae7977 db8c584ad3

bennettpeter commented 2 months ago

I have added Download all and Download missing icons to the web app in these commits: 2ed651c840 24aa45eeb2 db8bc84a6c Still to be done is search and download an icon for a single channel.

bennettpeter commented 2 months ago

I have added Icon Search and Download for a single channel. The button is inside the channel details update dialog. Also added a feature to assign to a channel any icon in the channels directory. 18a9050fdd a514d6c51a be785b239c
