Cannot add more channels to All Channels group (1 Viewer)

[matejdro]

I have 144 TV Channels, but only 45 are added to the All Channels group, which means i can't watch other channels. When i right click on the missing channel and select add to group All Channels, nothing happens. I have even tried to delete everything in "All Channels" group and then importing all channels back, but again only limited number of channel gets in.

Is there any limit for all channels or am i doing something wrong?

Maybe are the other channels not mapped to a tv card.

Try to delete all channels and then do a new channel scan, but not importing channels. (maybe there is someting wrong with that list)

Nope, still same problem.

Could be problem with number of IPTV cards? I have 2, so i can record and view different programs on same time.

 

[matejdro]

So any idea from devs, why don't all channels get into "All channels group"?

I have tried to do scan multiple times, but each time i get only around 3/4 channels into the group (each time different amount of channels)

I have only 1 IPTV card enabled + WebRadio card.

Just some information is anyone would want to debug it: OnActivated error (check logs in first post) appears each time i open "All channels" group in TV Server.

Moved here as sounds like a possible bug

could you just check your database
Open up a command prompt (as admin if Vista / Win7)
navigate to MySQL Bin folder (is C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1\\bin for me) and enter

mysqlcheck --user=root --pass=MediaPortal --auto-repair MPTVDB

Are the channels IPTV ones then?

Yes, channels are IPTV. If i create custom group and add all channels into that group, it works great. But i want all channels.

Problem also seems to be associated with export feature. I cannot export "TV Groups", because it stays at "This can take some time..." message forever.

Logs included.

I have managed to solve the problem:

I have deleted everything inside groupmap table and then re-added all the channels into All Channels.

But still, why that error happened?

AW: Cannot add more channels to All Channels group

The channel list "All channels" is the base list of all your TV channels (as the name indicates). You must not move any channels from this list into another group.
The proper handling is the following: Mark a channel, open context menu, select a group (or create a new group), then add the marked channel to that group.
This way you´ll get channel lists you want to see.
If all is done, select in MP Config that you don´t want to display the list "all channels", so only your favorite channels in your favorite groups are shown.
Hopefully I explained understandable
