Hello, noobie here (again)

TV channel scan has produced duplicate channels (see image for an example), why?

Is there a function/option to delete duplicates?

Thanks

PS. I have a dual dvb-s2 tuner card (TBS6981), is that why?

    Hello and welcome! :)

    TV channel scan has produced duplicate channels (see image for an example), why?
    I suspect each of the "duplicates" are regional variants.
    If you take a look on kingofsat you'll see the following versions of ITV 1:
    • London
    • Granada
    • Anglia East
    • Central West
    • Wales
    • West
    • Westcountry South
    • Border
    • Yorkshire West
    • Central East
    etc.

    Is there a function/option to delete duplicates?
    No... but it's relatively easy.
    In the TV Channels section, click on the name column to order the channels by name. Then all the "duplicates" should be listed together, so you can easily select and delete them.
    Note that the channels you delete will be re-added next time you scan. So, my advice would be to untick (not show in MP) rather than delete, and perhaps also create yourself a custom channel group for ease of management.

    Regards,

    Sadly, it seems that development of MP2 has come to a stop. Perhaps it will restart in the future. Meanwhile... MP1 has a "Tuning Details" panel that displays signal strength, signal quality, and picture resolution. It is updated in real time when viewing a channel: However, perhaps you are already aware of this, but prefer MP2...

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

    I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files. I have done...
