Hi. I'm kinda new at using MC for television playback. I've done my scan and MC's picked up a truck-load of digital channels which is great but I'd like to define a view which only shows me a subset of this rather large list. Is this possible? At the moment I'm not having any luck defining a view scheme which shows any of the channels. I've tried to import them into my library (from Playing Now) but (a) this doesn't seem to do anything and (b) I'm not even sure this is what you're supposed to do.

Has anyone done something similar please?

Thanks.

Ok, did a search and found this which was helpful:-

BUT, anyone know if it's possible to add coverart to tv channels please?

Thanks.

There is no built-in mechanism in TV for cover art. Not sure if you can manually add one in a custom view.

I've tried to do it manually as you suggested but this isn't working  . It would certainly be a nice touch.

Yaobing, where are the channel files? How does it all work? I mean, my view scheme (which does this: ~d=a [File Type]=[tvlb]) only shows anything once one of the channels are played. Also, if I right click on a channel and try to use MC library tools to either locate or import the tvlb file, I get an error message saying that the file does not exist neither internall nor externally! Where do the files live?

Thanks.

There is no channels file. The channels are in the registry, and are loaded dynamically.
