Virgin Media Channel Numbers (1 Viewer)

Okay, I've had a look at the dump, and I think I see where the channel numbers are stored. It looks like Virgin uses a descriptor that I've never seen before...

[edit: In fact they use all sorts of nasty proprietary descriptors that I've never seen before. ]

I'm guessing that's a bad thing, can you extract the channel numbers okay?

Yes, I'm able to extract the channel numbers.
In case you weren't aware, TV Server is under code freeze at the moment. That means support for VM channel numbers isn't going to be added in the next release. However, do expect to see it sometime down the line in TVE 3.5.

Thanks for your hard work! Can you let me know when this either needs beta testing or is released and I shall test it. It would also be great if the channels could be categorised to the VM categories like I have done in my exports file.

I did also find the category IDs, so it may be possible.

I was never intending to create a plugin. Support for both VM and Sky UK channel numbers and EPG (à la DJBlu's plugin) will be present in TVE 3.5.
