[QUOTE="vuego, post: 214400, member: 23741"] Hi Laban thanks for this plugin! I have some small suggestions. 1. About the Tvguide.lst (I think it's checked by default?). Instead of the xmltv import failing when this file isn't found, could it not just continue with the import (tvguide.xml). Most users don't know what it is and don't need it. It should only be used if it's checked AND the file exists. Or even better, could we skip the hardcoded Tvguide.xml and Tvguide.lst entirely and instead use an "internal tvguide.lst". The user could add xml file(s) to an import list and it could even be called Tvguide.xml if desired :) 2. If the user does an import without first mapping (or forgot to save) it finishes fine and says x channels imported, 0 programs imported. Perhaps the Import button should be disabled until at least one channel has been mapped, or there could be a warning displayed. This will help the user to know what to do since it's not that clear at the moment. 3. How about auto loading the channel list when the Mappings tab is selected? The Load/Refresh button could be renamed Refresh and the channels list should update on the fly when selecting a channel group. This would save the user from one step and hopefully make it easier to use/understand. 4. There is an Export button but no Import. It could be useful to keep the export file for a reinstallation or use on another computer to save remapping. 5. I find the names Tuning channel and Guide channel somewhat confusing since both are used in MP and none in XMLTV. Perhaps we could instead use Gibman's suggestion, Physical channel and XMLTV channel or something similar? 6. I have the same problem as Redfish for analog channels. Looks like this plugin reads the "Tuning channels" names from the "name" column rather than "displayName". In the TV Channels section all channels are listed using the displayName. 7. I kept clicking the Visible in Guide checkbox until I realized it shouldn't be clickable. It think that it just lists which channels are enabled/disabled in the TV Channels section(?). Perhaps a Yes/No would be more intuitive. Hope this helps :thx: [/QUOTE]
