[no Bug] MediaPortal.xml <entry name="channel"> (1 Viewer)

Ola,

I always wondered why MediaPortal doesn't often know which tv/radio channel I played last and thus showing me the miniguide to pick a channel.

When I start MediaPortal, watch some tv and listen some radio, the last played channels are beeing stored in the MediaPortal.xml file, like this:

<section name="mytv">
<entry name="group">Dutch</entry>
<entry name="channel">RTL 4</entry>

<section name="myradio">
<entry name="group">Dutch</entry>
<entry name="channel">Q-Music</entry>

When I close and start MediaPortal again, it knows which tv channel I've watched before and it's starting "RTL 4" when I enter the tv menu (enabled the option auto-start tv in the config), so that's cool.

The problem is radio doesn't work that way. When I enter the radio menu and turn the radio on manually, the miniguide with the channels is beeing displayed and I have to scroll my channellist to search for Q-Music (yeah, I know I can create a group for that), but the last played channel IS in the .xml file and so I think it's a bug

The other problem is, when you close and start MediaPortal, watch some movie (for example) and exit MediaPortal, the last played tv and radio channels are beeing removed in the .xml file because I didn't watch tv or listened radio, why is that ?

<section name="mytv">
<entry name="channel">
</entry>

<section name="myradio">
<entry name="channel">
</entry>

It's kinda annoying that I'll always have to turn tv on and off so that MediaPortal knows the last played channel before restarting MediaPortal.

No logs attached, because it should be clear this way

extra info, I'm using ForTheRecord (1.5.0.1) and informed them as well (could be a FTR bug!), will post the results in this thread for other people who have the same problems

Hi,

Could you please test this without using For the Record. There is no sense in the team looking to solve a problem if it is not a real MediaPortal bug.

Oh, and please do post logs. I know you think they aren't needed, but it is helpful to the team to see what was logged (or not) and at what point in the code.

Best wishes,

Mark

You're totally right, I hoped for some answers like "hey, I'm having the same problem and not using FTR", sorry for that, but added the info that I'm using FTR and reported it to their developers as well.

Hope to get an answer from them first, if it's a FTR bug you can delete this post or tag it as a "no bug" so others can see why it happened as well, if not a FTR bug, I'll let you know and upload the logs!

Ignore this post for now.

Thanks for your quick reply tho!
