configuration: backup/restore TV-Channels - Page 2

infinityloop · 2006-06-10, 07:52

UPDATE:

This issue should be fixed now!

download and apply latest svn snapshot and test it again please.

igalan · 2006-06-12, 12:11

I've just installed June 12th SVN and it correctly imported the ChannelList.xml. I have to test it some more, because earlier SVN caused errors in the database that I had to manually fix in the exported XML: channels that no longer exist assigned to groups, some recordings and schedules weren't recognized because I had to change the channel name (or else autotunning DVB-T channels overwrittes the same channel on analog)... But it looks very good now

. I also like to have a single dialog confirming the restore.

NB after checking in MEDIAPORTAL if the channels were corect, I got a lot more channels then before. It seems that MP imports channels from my TV guide as well. When i delete them in setup, they still appear in tvguide in MP. But maybe this is a different bug or setting.

Notes
When exporting to export2.xml I was missing 7 channels. Also I wanted to tick the channels from my EPG i cant get on my cable and I got a crash. I think I dragged a channel I wanted to tick for not showing up in My TVguidde in Mediaportal. I copied bug report in the attached zipfile (it is called bugrapport.txt)
