Duplicate Channel doesn't get guide data #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.scan all channels both analog and QAM
2.When you have a duplicate channel, set the digital version to the same name 
and channel number
3.run the schedules direct plugin

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the same lineup for both channels, but the digital one does not 
have any information.  Furthermore, if I go delete the analog channel, the 
digital one never gets guide updates.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.3.2 on windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

I am wondering a couple of things.  First of all, is there a way to clear the 
associations between the channels and the guide data?  Second is there a way to 
have a one to many relationship between the SD entry and the actual channel in 
MediaPortal?

Hey curdaddy,

To answer your questions:
1) yes, but you need a database editor... if you're comfortable with that... 
you'll see schedules direct info on channels in the db... clear that out and 
the association is gone

2) No, you cannot have on to many... it's one to one.

The way you solve this problem is to have multiple tunings for a given 
channel... if you have an analog channel 3 and QAM channel 3, you merge them 
and you end up with one channel with 2 tunings.  The channel gets associated 
with the SD channel and Bob's your uncle.

When you see the guide, you have just one channel.

When you setup a recording, you can't specify the tuner.  BUT, the order of 
tuners determines which one is prefered... I'm not sure on which way... I've 
been using ForTheRecord for a while now, so I forget..

Try to merge one channel and see how it works.

Thanks Geoff for the response.  I will give that a try.  The thing that is 
weird is that the issues cleared up.  Right after I had deleted the analog 
versions there was no data for a while, then I went to work on it last night 
and all the data was there, so I am calling it good.

Thanks,
Matt
