[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1012245, member: 82144"] Good morning :) So you have names now, yes? This is partially intended and partially a bug. The deal is that VCT can contain multiple names for a channel: [LIST=1] [*]A short name which is limited to 7 characters. AIUI this is typically used to store the callsign (eg. WCIU-HD). [*]Optionally, one or more extended names which can be up to 255 characters long in total. AIUI these extended names are typically used for marketing names. [/LIST] Currently TV Server takes the short name, then replaces it with the first extended name if one is present. When rewriting the code I thought both the callsign and name might be useful, so what I was doing was attempting to set the name to "<short name> (<first extended name which is different to the short name, if there is one>)"... except that there was a bug. I've fixed the bug [hopefully] and switched the pattern because on second thought I think it probably makes more sense to show "name (callsign)" rather than "callsign (name)". New TsWriter attached. :) That is because the SetupTv log is the log for TV Server configuration. In the same way that the service running prevents the TVService log from being zipped, I guess TV Server configuration running is preventing the SetupTv log from being zipped.
