Merging Channels with Similar Names

Added by Marty van Iersel about 7 years ago

Hello

Im new to tvheadend and i am trying to merge channels with similar names.

How do I do manually merge the ones that havnt merged

eg

I have

PRIME
Prime
Prime HD

that havnt merged.

The only merge button I have seen is a tick box when you map the channels

Thanks:) :)

Do you mind sharing your solution? I was trying to do this a while ago: http://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/5727

I imagine part of the problem comes with having your channel name come from your EPG or Services, and that leads to the service mapper putting them into different channels even though they are the same.

Personally I don't have this problem as all of my Channels are manually created, and the EPG Grabber settings are set to not update the channel name or number, only the icon. I believe the only way to consistently ensure your services map to the same channel regardless of network/adapter is to manually manage the mapping between services and channels. While it may be a hassle to initially setup, it may save time down the road.
