Synopsis:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Weird one. I looked throuroughly though the boards and most peoples issues seem to be related to misspelt names or otherwise. I have checked mine several times but am unable to get this to work.

Simply, anything that has been programmed manually (in my case foxtel data) accepts the TVguide.xml content properly as designed.
All channels (other than 1) that have been imported from Autotune do not seem to accept the TVguide info.

As you can see the names identified in both files are identical for both entrys yet only the latter pair work. I simply don't get it.

Am I just doing something wrong?

Channel names in 0.2.0 RC2 still have to be the same in the TV guide and Channel setup.

 

[Tharsis]

Thanks for the reply, However as the files attached above show, the names are the same so that's still not it. I should explain the Chanlist.xml is the backup file for the channels I have setup. The names in here are the channel names in my setup.

Is there another step i'm missing when setting up autoscan channels under RC2?

 

[Tharsis]

Still having troubles with this so i'll shorten my question to this. Does MP use the display name of the channel as in the Channel.xml or does it use the channelid field?

I have the display name the same for all my other working channels and even gone through and copy and pasted the channel name from cannels.xml into my downloader to make 100% sure the names are the same to no avail. Only on these auto tuned channels.

Have you tried removing all the tvguide database data in setup and then importing them inside the tvguide?
