[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1104688, member: 117536"] A followup on the etc\hosts and pending SD changes. After more testing I noticed my ATSC channel numbers were changed even though I disabled all of the "modify" options in the SD plugin config advanced settings, see below [2014-10-15 13:44:17,402] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Starting EPG refresh job on thread #5 [2014-10-15 13:44:17,402] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - UTC time is 10/15/2014 8:44:17 PM, local time is 10/15/2014 1:44:17 PM (DST is True) [2014-10-15 13:44:17,417] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Rename Existing Channels is set to: False, with Template: {number} {callsign}. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,417] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Add New Digital Channels is set to: False, with External Input: SvhsInput1. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,433] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Add New Digital Channels is set to: False, with External Audio Input: SPDIFInput1. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,433] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Add New Digital Channels Country is set to: United States. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,433] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Add New Analog Channels is set to: False, with External Input: SvhsInput1. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,449] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Add New Analog Channels is set to: False, with External Input: SPDIFInput1. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,449] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Channel Sorting is set to: False. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,449] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Allow Channel Matching without Frequency is set to: False. [2014-10-15 13:44:17,464] [Log ] [SchedulesDirect EPG Client] [INFO ] - Delete Channels with No EPG Mapping is set to: False. when SD runs my MePo scanned ATSC channel numbers are changed and the "subchannel" info is removed. for example 9001 changes to 9, KQED-HD 9002 changes to 9, KQED+ 9003 changes to 9, WORLD this happens for all of my ATSC channel numbers, looking at the log files I can see SD is detecting/matching channels based on the ATSC major/minor numbers. not sure why/how the ATSC channel numbers are changed. I don't normally use channel numbers, typically use full EPG or mini-EPG to change channels but this may cause a problem for other people. With consulting help from the Orcale Of Google, I figured out how to get a copy of the SD-plugin source, put in minor changes to use the new "legacy data source" [url]http://dd.schedulesdirect.org/schedulesdirect/tvlistings/xtvdService[/url] and build a new SchedulesDirectPluginTVE3.dll, Also changed version to 1.3.0.2. This also shows the same ATSC channel number changes. Did 3 sets of tests Standard SD plugin, ver=1.3.0.1, no etc\host changes, no changes to ATSC channel numbers Standard SD plugin, ver=1.3.0.1, with etc\host change to use IP=54.85.117.227, ATSC channels numbers modified Modified SD plugin, ver=1.3.0.2, no etc\host changes, ATSC channels numbers modified Did this 2-3 times, something in the new/legacy data download causes channel number changes in both SD plugins. The channel number changes show up in both the MePo Client and the TvServerConfig program, but changed channel numbers do not seem to show up when I export the channels, very confused how this happens. I will look at the source code tomorrow to see if I can understand this. I've never looked at C# code, hardware silicon-chip design guy. For testing did a fresh scan, setup channels/groups, export channels to export_20141015_freshscan.xml. For each test, switch SD-plugin and hosts file, delete all channels, import export_20141015_freshscan.xml, stop/start TvServer to trigger new SD download EPG update. see zipfile for logs, channel exports SD1301.PNG, shows what I see with SD1.3.0.1 no etc\hosts changes "correct numbers", this is actually from a different system but shows same numbers SD1302.PNG, shows what I see with modified SD1.3.0.2 no etc\host changes or SD1.3.0.1 with etc\host change, "modified ATSC channels" [/QUOTE]
