Title: Theater View CUSTOM Guides [SOLVED]
Post by: tzr916 on December 19, 2023, 12:59:29 pm

I have been using the following custom guides for the Server vs Clients:

Server Guide (should not show comcast carried locals abc/nbc/cbs...)

Code: [Select]

[TVTime]=#TVGuideStartDate-14d
-[=TVInfo(ChannelKeywords)&DataType=[List]]=[Favorite]

Client Guide (should not show ATSC OTA abc/nbc/cbs...)

Code: [Select]

[TVTime]=#TVGuideStartDate-14d
-[=TVInfo(ChannelKeywords)&DataType=[list]]=[OTA]

But these customizations are not working after changing guide data mode from external xml file to Silicondust, deleting all old channels, scanning new channels, assigning favorites, re-assigning smartlist OTA, re-do Theater View custom guide rules (delete custom line & save, then add back in and save), restart MC and MC Server.

Is there better/different CODE to get custom guides setup than what I am using?

Also, I had custom logos for ATSC OTA stations and those got replaced. How do I get them back to my custom logos?

Thanks

Found the issue with the custom guides - I had to TAG the Keyword for OTA channels!

Now, just need to solve the custom logos for ATSC OTA stations that got replaced... How do I get them back to my custom logos?

Ok, found that Silicondust guide created it's own channel logos. Seems MC defaults to using the logo with the (new) xmltv identifier rather than my logos that simply match the channel name... Time to sort and delete.

Last thing I noticed was when doing a channel scan for DMS mode, it would lock the tuner in "initializing" mode until I restarted MC + MC Server - might wanna look into that!

Damn it, the logos got replaced AGAIN after last night's guide download, and not just for OTA stations but for all stations! This is not as simple as I thought.
