Channel Reordering Issue

#1

Post by sltaylor@gmail.com » Sat Sep 23, 2023 9:34 am

Good morning,

Had to reinstall Windows and WMC after a catastrophic BSOD yesterday.

When trying to reorder channels within WMC, there are a few sharing the same channel number and I can't seem to move other channels up or down past these duplicate positions.

Can I reorder them in EPG rather than WMC to circumvent this issue or do I have to do a full rescan and hope channels aren't reassigned duplicate numbers?

Or is there something else I could try?

TIA

You know, I've never used the reorder before... actually didn't know it existed. If it is the channel numbers that is preventing it, see if you can just change the channel numbers of the problem channels to get by the issue. You can do that either in WMC or EPG123 Client. You can always change the numbers back afterwards.

Actually, I just checked that out... why does that even exist? All it does is swap the channel numbers. That would be very confusing for OTA users.
