Populating channel properties dynamically

Added by Packet Loss almost 11 years ago

The hard part of getting TVH setup seems to be building the channel list (inc icons, chan numbers, etc).

The expected/desired functionality is that the channel list (once an an initial svc mapping is done) would update pulling in all the available ota and xmltv epg information to populate the icons, channel number, etc. I have seen a hint of this when I was running the stable release, in that after some time some icons were dynamically populated. However I'm unable to get the same working in the nightly build or figure it how to trigger such a process.

I've started doing some code diving and debug traces but its going to be a while before I'm up to speed.

Does anyone have some insight into how this should work, what pre-reqs there might be or how I can manually trigger the process of mashing the epg data into the channels?
