EPG Problems

Hi there,

I'm using the NextView software to grab EPG data, export it to XML and
import it using mythfilldatabase. Works fine so far, but I have some
problems:

1. When I press "m" in the EPG, MythTV should switch to the highlighted
channel. It does this for most channels, but for some reason for some of
them this does not work. The problem is always with the same channels. If I
press "r" however, MythTV correcty changes to the channel and starts
recording. I can also change to these channels using up and down keys
outside the EPG without any problems.

2. As I do not receive all channels listet in the XML file, I just give "0"
as the channel ID to those channels. I thought their data would then not be
imported into the database at all, but it's still listed in the EPG below
the other channels (with blank channel names).

3. Is there any way to have MythTV use the channel ids as order when
changing the channel using up/down keys in "Watching Live TV" mode?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

christoph

Can you provide more detail on which channels are affected, et cetera?

Clearly, this doesn't work. Remove the channels from the file.

See the "Setup->General->Channel ordering" option.

As i've postet on the developer's list a little bit later, it affecs
channels with a 4-digit channel number (in Germany, we have channels like
"SE12") because at some point in the program the channel number is cut down
to three digits. I also posted how to fix it, but since I don't really know
how to make a CVS patch it has not yet been included.

Does not work here, I will tell more about it replying to your message on
mythtv-dev.
