There is one bit of information that I would like to add to
channels.conf, and that's the channel number. This information cannot
be added the README, and other files, as this is information that
only I use. My channel.conf now looks like this (from memory, I'm not
in front of the machine right now)
#1
Nederland 1: *a whole lot of numbers*
#2
Nederland 2 *a whole lot of numbers*
This reminds me, it's now not possible to have a list of channels
with gaps in it. I would like it if I can create a list like this:
#1..5 My favorite channels
1 Discovery channel
2 MTV
3 Some other channel
4 Comedy channel
5 Some other channel
#10..15 channels of my wife (just married this friday :-) )
10 RTL 4
11 RTL 8
#20 channels we both like ;-)
20 animal planet
21 discovery channel (identical to channel 1)
22 ...
VDR can already do that. Before each numbered group add a line ":@1 ",
":@10 ", ":@20 " etc. Exclude the quites, but ISTR there was some
problem if I didn't include a trailing space.
There's no, need for a trailing space.
I use this to make my
channels numbered the same way as Freeview and Freesat, so I'd prefer it
if channels lines had an LCN field instead of putting the numbers on
separate lines.
An LCN field would only make sense if you have only channels from a single
broadcaster in your channels.conf. As soon as there are several broadcasters,
the numbers would most likely not be unique any more, and therefore useless.
I think you can also use a : followed by a string without @ to add
comments, which are shown in the EPG.
These are "channel group separators", which you can easily navigate through
with the Left and Right keys in live mode. The texts are *not* "shown in the
EPG", though.
