Fix Incorrectly Merged Channels

#1

Post by wilme2 » Sat Jan 18, 2020 6:51 pm

I accidentally merged an OTA and cable channel incorrectly via the Edit Listings WMC built-in merge function. In my case a local MeTV channel 27.4 with Logo HD channel 179 on cable.

So easy enough to fix - I go to edit Sources and "Split" the channel back out. The channel 179 now appears separately in the guide again.

But the listing for Logo is GONE from EPG123. It can't be found in the client or server. The Logo channel nuymber 179 is there, but is mapped to MeTV. I can't "subscribe" 179 to Logo listings because the merge process apparently permanently remapped 179 to MeTV. In the old guide tool for the built-in guide, I would have just found Logo on the right side and subscribed to the channel on the left.

Is there an equivalent function with EPG123 to pull back in the Logo listings without a whole re-setup of my TV sources? Edit XML somewhere perhaps?

You must be missing something, because it works exactly as you would expect.

When you say the Logo channel number 179 disappeared from the server, are you saying it is no longer part of the lineup available from the lineup for download?

If you open the client, and see channel 179 on the right side, select it, then select channel 179 on the left side by right-clicking it and select 'Subscribe'.

Logo HD is not in the lineup for download. Channel 179 on both sides has the wrong lineup - MeTV instead of Logo.

I am thinking this might be a SD problem? Maybe the reason I merged them wrong is that they had the wrong lineup for channel 179...

Yes, if the lineup itself is wrong, then you will need to submit a ticket with SD... they will let their upstream (Gracenote) know and will get fixed eventually.
