I reported this already a long time ago. So with the release of MP1.2.1. I decided to do a complete reinstall of Win7 + Mediaportal. All went well and MP is great!! But, this bug is still there.

I can make a channelgroup, but when putting the channels in and closing TV config, all channels in the new channelgroup are gone. The channelgroup itself is still there.

I have had this problem before with 1.1.2, but then I could save the channelgroup by entering a different part of config, for instance TIMESHIFTING. When closing TV server config then, the changes were correctly saved. At then I used an import from the backupsettingsplugin, that worked but changing the channelorder after that didn't work, since the change was not saved.

Now with 1.2.1 I can put channels into the channelgroup, but I stays empty after leaving en going back into this part of config.

Also, when I put a channel in the channelgroup and I leave the tab by pressing on the 'all channels' tab, the channel is already gone in the channelgroup.

The only log that contains something after closing TV server config is attached. Other logs are mentioned in the other thread.

AW: Channelgroup empty, channels added not saved

Hi Snader,

how do you put the channels to a group?

The correct way is to right-click on a channel and select "copy to group>..." from the popup-menu.
Do you do it like this?

I have a lot of TV and radio groups and never had an issue like you.

Kind regards

Roger

Thanks rogerleifert! Damn, I don't understand why I never did that? I always draged and dropped my channels to the Channel group tab I wanted them in. This does work, however, results aren't saved. Maybe this drag and drop behaviour should me eliminated?

Hi Snader,

So do I understand you right:

- When you drag and drop the channels, they are not stored and are lost after closing the TV-server configuration

- When you copy them by right-click on a channel and select "copy to group>..." then it is OK.

If this is correct, then I will try to confirm the error by drag and drop and give a recommendation to eliminate this bug (e.g. forbidding drag and drop as you suggested).

Kind regards

Roger

That is correct!
