[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1235220, member: 109222"] Hi. First, you're using an older version of EPG-Buddy. This is not the reason for your issue but as you need to do some configuration work you better do it with the latest version. Download link is in first post... The channel mapping always has to be done inside the XMLTV plugin. This mapping tries to match the channels based on the channel names used in the xml file. Matching by channel numbers is not supported. EPG-Buddy tries to help as you can name the channels in the XML file exactly as they are named in the TV Database. Then the XMLTV plugin has no issues with the automatic matching. Any EPG data source is providing different channel names as the TV server uses. TV server uses the name as aired with the channel itself. E.G. a channel aired in HD often has the suffix "HD" like "Fox" and "Fox HD". The EPG data provider only delivers EPG data for "Fox" as the programs are identical. But for a computer "Fox" and "Fox HD" are two completely different things. Computer are stupid, extremely stupid.
