28.2 bouquets, keeps changing loads of channel numbers to 4912 after a period of time

Added by tez tib over 9 years ago

Hello everyone,

I'm constantly having to manually delete all my channels, then re-add them via the bouquets control, because every so often tvheadend will change loads of the channel numbers to 4912, which is causing a massive mess and hard to find some channels. Currently there is 54 channels which have changed to No.4912

Any idea why this is happening? As I said after I delete all channels then re-add them via scanning bouquet, all the numbers go back to normal, but how long for I don't know as it's completely random when it happens.

Below are the channel numbers which have changed

They have also changed channel tag, since they used to have the bouquet number as the tag

Check that you don't have "Update channel number:", "Update channel name:" and "Update channel icon:" enabled in Configuration->Channel / EPG->EPG Grabber.

Hi, I don't have any of those selected and I never have.

Since my post first I deleted all my channels, deleted all muxes, all channels etc. Re-scanned, remapped channels via the bouquets options. Everything was fine initially, but I've just checked today and once again a few channels have changed again to 4912.

It seems as if tvheadend will update frequencies of channels and just label the new channels numbers as 4912, which is very frustrating, as I'm constantly having to rinse and repeat the above in order to keep a tidy channel list.

Newly added channels as of today:
As you can see they are numbered as 4912, they also do not have the bouquet as a "tag". This list of 4912 will gradually build up over time. The other day there was 50+ channels labeled like this.

I think you may want to open a bug report.

I also recommend you try the script from https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/11130 I know its not ideal as it means you'll have to manually run when the frequencies change but at least you won't have this annoying problem :)

Thanks for your suggestion, but as far as I'm aware the script you mention isn't compatible with Openelec
