Could not find a match for CHAN (1 Viewer)

[aakins]

I am having problems getting the Zap2it plugin to work. I installed it, but the log give and error of "Could not find a match for WHNTDT/19-1. What should I do. It sounds like the plugin isn't mapping the channels to the guide. I tried to upload to the pastebin, but couldn't figure it out.
Thanks.

Did you run the Auto-Tune for your channels in MediaPortal configuration?

I'm not sure where that is. I ran AutoTUNE under the TV section.
Are you referring to this?

Yes, that is it.

Does the autotune find the ATSC channels you are pulling guide data for?
Going by your log it would be these specifically:
WHNTDT/19-1
WZDXDT/54-1
WAAYDT/31-1
WAFFDT/48-1

it crashed on me when trying to run autotune. I will try again, and hopefully that will fix it. I have previously ran it (before installing zap2it), and those are my locals that it picks up perfect (along with a dozen of other channels that i don't watch).

Ran Autotune, but still doesn't work. When I view the channels in the Television>TV Channels it lists them, but as different channel numbers (ie. CH Name:WHNT-HD,CH Number:2). I don't know if or where a file would be to list the channel information. I assume that the difference in name (WHNTDT to WHNT-HD) and number (19-1 to 2) is causing the errors. Those are the only four channels that I receive OTA that I must have in the EPG. Is it a mapping issue causing the error?
for the help.

Strange, if neither the channel numbers OR names do not match zap2it then the mapping will have problems. (The plugin only needs one or the other for ATSC mapping)

So, since there are only four you could rename them to their zap2it names
(ex. WHNTDT), start MP and see if it can pick them up that way.
(After mapping is established you can rename it back to what ever you want.)

If you have not done so before, you could try clearing your channels in the Television>TV Channels and rescan/autotune.
One thing to note, the plugin will not change an existing mapping for a
channel and will not attempt to match it to anything else.
This is why clearing the channels can sometimes help.

renamed channels to match zap2it. seems to be working great.
