With a completely empty channel list, importing the TV Channels and Groups I exported from the last SVN results in two of every channel in the All Channels list. The main list and one I created called Main TV are fine. If I only import TV Channels and not Groups this doesn't happen but then of course I have to manually create my Main TV group again.

It also says "Existing Channels Detected" even when I'm only importing TV Channels but there are existing entries in the Radio Channels list.

I think, depending on Fix 0002690.

Try importing only the channels and not the groups....that solved it for me. You will then have to manually define your groups again.

Thanks but if you read my post again you'll see that's exactly what I said I ended up having to do.

It's hardly a solution though. Group import is still broken at the moment.

I just reinstalled again and imported Channels & Groups from the XML file. All channels (TV & Radio) are there, all groups are there, but they didn't show up in MP. After a scan, everything is fine.

Just make sure you got an empty list, then import channels & groups (to prefend the duplicates) and then a scan to finish it.

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by "prefend".

Either way, with an empty list importing the channels and groups results in duplicates in the All Channels list. I didn't need to scan to make the channels show up in MP.

Well, i experienced double (or even 5 times the same channels) also but that was because i imported it a few times
When i made a clean install i only scanned, then created all groups, added the channels and made en export.
Now i only need to import the channels & groups, but had to scan once to see the radiochannels in MP today and then everything was fine, no double entries.

The bug is not the result of double importing times. It is the result of the fix on my old bug thread.
