natrlhy,

There are a few issues. The fix in the SVN in combination with this plugin makes it simple to do what you and I want which is to change by channel number and populate the TV database appropriately, but there is actually one more small hangup which I mentioned in the thread where I posted the original code that made it into SVN (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?p=79428#post79428)

The problem is that in the MP sourcecode, it is hardcoded that channels will only be 2 digits and the timeout for entering digits is 800ms! If you go to the thread, you'll see in the second post an attached file. In that file I changed it so that you can enter 3 digits in the TV guide section with a 2 s timeout I think. However, I have not looked into where it needs to be changed for LiveTV.

My thought is to make this a configuration option with a setting in the TV configuration section so that the user can choose how many digits before automatically entering the channel. But I won't have a chance to even look at it until probably Wednesday and it would take me a day or two to figure it out because I'd have to add to the configuration section. If we could get a dev to do it, I'm sure it would be much easier for them.
