Hi everyone,

I've just switched to 1.1.0 RC1, with complete reinstall (was just about time). I use analogue TV with two tuner cards.

I tried to load a previously generated export.xml with my TV channel setup, but I realized that now I have all channels twice. Even worse is, when I go into Combine Channels, then for each card, I only get each channel once, with no "similar" channels offered for combining.

I put one channel definition here (the ID's of the tuner cards are 2 and 3). Actually, my question is, is there something you can spot in this file that I could correct to make sure all channels are listed only once, but be accessible on both tuner cards?

<channels>
<channel Name="atv" GrabEpg="False" IdChannel="1" IsRadio="False" IsTv="True" LastGrabTime="2000-1-1 0:0:0" SortOrder="36" TimesWatched="0" TotalTimeWatched="2000-1-1 0:0:0" VisibleInGuide="True" FreeToAir="True" DisplayName="atv">
<mappings>
<map IdCard="3" IdChannel="1" IdChannelMap="1" />
<map IdCard="2" IdChannel="1" IdChannelMap="2" />
</mappings>
<TuningDetails>
<tune IdChannel="1" IdTuning="1" AudioPid="-1" Bandwidth="8" ChannelNumber="80" ChannelType="0" CountryId="90" Diseqc="0" FreeToAir="True" Frequency="203250000" MajorChannel="-1" MinorChannel="-1" Modulation="0" Name="115" NetworkId="-1" PcrPid="-1" PmtPid="-1" Polarisation="0" Provider="" ServiceId="-1" SwitchingFrequency="0" Symbolrate="0" TransportId="-1" TuningSource="0" VideoPid="-1" VideoSource="0" AudioSource="0" IsVCRSignal="False" SatIndex="-1" InnerFecRate="-1" Band="0" Pilot="-1" RollOff="-1" Url="" Bitrate="0" />
<tune IdChannel="1" IdTuning="2" AudioPid="-1" Bandwidth="8" ChannelNumber="80" ChannelType="0" CountryId="90" Diseqc="0" FreeToAir="True" Frequency="203250000" MajorChannel="-1" MinorChannel="-1" Modulation="0" Name="115" NetworkId="-1" PcrPid="-1" PmtPid="-1" Polarisation="0" Provider="" ServiceId="-1" SwitchingFrequency="0" Symbolrate="0" TransportId="-1" TuningSource="0" VideoPid="-1" VideoSource="0" AudioSource="0" IsVCRSignal="False" SatIndex="-1" InnerFecRate="-1" Band="0" Pilot="-1" RollOff="-1" Url="" Bitrate="0" />

AW: Two tuner cards - duplicate channel names

A known problem.

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/channel-scanning-deletes-channel-information-other-card-50416/?highlight=deletes+channel+information


Scan for one card deletes the information for the other card if the channel names are the same. This appleis even for different cards (dvb-c and dvb-s).

I solved the problem by renaming the channels after the first scan (added a card-suffix) using an sql-statement.

A fix for this problem is announced in the tv-server roadmap for future releases.

Thank you for your feedback - but this case is not the one reported above.

There is obviously something malfunctioning.

I did some quick testing. I stripped export.xml to include only one channel bind to one card. Importing that file, the channel gets doubled, is bind to BOTH cards and is listed twice under All Channels. Furthermore, these two channels can not be combined.
(sample export.xml attached)

I must admit I did not follow the reported bugs lately. Someone who did, could you tell if this is already reported?

Cheers,

d3ca
