This would be really a clean approach, but I don't think, that you will get inconsistency as long as the channels get referenced by their ID. Moving a channel, that is just edited should work...Or do I miss something? I have to check how vdr references channels...
No, just editing won't harm, but if user deletes a channel or just moves it out of AutoSort-Section the channel could be reapear the channel could be double the hole thing could crash But i stop thinking here - i try.
I really don't know how I could live without that plugin. Finally all my 2500 channels are sorted the way I alway wanted them :)
I only miss sorting by frequency (=transponder)
that needs a fuzzy-factor by some Hz. But what do you wanna reach with that?
Isn't vdr taking care of that?
from channels.c: bool cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int Source, int Frequency, char Polarization, int Srate, int CoderateH) { // Workarounds for broadcaster stupidity: // Some providers broadcast the transponder frequency of their channels with two different // values (like 12551 and 12552), so we need to allow for a little tolerance here if (abs(frequency - Frequency) <= 1) Frequency = frequency; // Sometimes the transponder frequency is set to 0, which is just wrong if (Frequency == 0) return false;
On 13E (HotBird) the frequency seems to differ by up to 30 my log is full of channel changes for a few Hz
I'd like filtering for freq for the following reasons:
- Once a month I clean my channels.conf, removing all dead channels. I
put a "DEAD -" in front of all channelnames and switch to every transponder for about 10 sec. with "update names" enabled. There are some channels that are still not "dead", but don't get their names updated. So I delete these channels, switch to a channel on the same transponder and let this channel be readded. Having the channels ordered by freq makes this easy...
Rejected - that good old idea doesn't need a transponder separation, it can be done completely automated as dicussed here a long time ago.
- I have only 1 card. If channels are ordered by freq, I can see with
channels can be recorded at simultaniously.
Confirmed
I give highest priority to the 'complete-run-for-config-debug-button' that seems to be the hardest entry problem, let see what comes inbetween.
