We have the following (fake) setup: The channel ARD has the xmltv id ard.de and the dvb you need to tune to "Das Erste RB". And for analoge cards it is on freq. 20. How does that work? We use one unique id to identify a channel in Freevo. That is the xmltv id (here: ard.de). So I need to convert ard.de to "Das Erste RB" vor dvb and to 20 for analog. > I took a look at what you're doing here and think that might not be > neccessary either.

Maybe you can make sure you don't have to much modifications not in cvs. We should _always_ use ard.de on the mbus. So no modification in external.py needed. > Also, I see that you refer to kaa.epg.channels in recorder, but > wouldn't it be better to look at card.channels and do anything special > at config/detect time (like is already done)? We have crd.channels.

Right. I have no access id at all. All I have is a name and a unique id. There is no way to look up the id to get a frequency or a dvb name. I guess we should start some sort of database for that. > Anyhow, I do have some things to try, so I wouldn't worry much about > it for the next little bit.
