On another Freeview specific note, I'd love to have my channels renumbered to their "proper" Freeview numbers. At the moment, I have to go through and move them about by hand every time something changes! I don't think there is currently any support for assigning channels a specific number within vdr (probably not much point with gazillions of satellite channels but more useful with the handful of terrestrial Freeview ones in the UK).
man 5 vdr: A group delimiter can also be used to just set the next channel’s number, without an explicit delimiter text, as in
:@201
That's what I mean by "doing it by hand"! My channels.conf is littered with those!
;)
Would be nice if each channel entry had a field for channel number instead, especially when they helpfully decide to move a channel!
It's also the way "real" set-top boxes do it. I think "scan" can output the channel numbers to a vdr-readable channels.conf but I think that just puts in a :@1, :@2, :@3, etc. every other line. Just doesn't seem neat to me, especially as the channel numbers are broadcast.
I did start looking at this a while back but never got very far: might have another go...
