Hi,
I wrote a small python script that helps me keep my channels.conf tidy.
The scripts assumes that I have (among others) channel groups ":HDTV", ":Deutschsprachig", ":(auch)Englisch", ":Verschiedenes", ":Astra Radio" and ":new channels" at the end.
It moves all radio channels from all groups into ":Astra Radio".
It moves channels that have a HD in their name from ":new channels" to ":HDTV".
It moves channels that have geman sound from ":new channels" to ":Deutschsprachig".
It moves channels that do not have german sound, but english sound from ":new channels" to ":(auch)Englisch".
All other new channels are moved from ":new channels" to ":Verschiedenes".
It ignores all non-"S19.2E" channels (see my other posting).
Finally, all channel groups are sorted alphabetically.
The script/program is a filter, so you can do things like python sort_channels.py <channels.conf>channels.new
Cheers, Carsten.
