Channelnames whitespaces

Added by Christian Brauwers almost 12 years ago

Hi,
on my Synology runs the SynoCommunity Package with Sundtek DVB-C Stick.

Everything works fine! Just a hole kind of Channelnames have a lot of whitespaces.

As example, the Channel "Discovery HD" is called "Disc over HD"

Many other channels have this problem too.
I can rename it via Channelname, but XBMC seems to be use the Servicename.

Any solutions?

Thanks

//Update : ok, XBMC was a cache Problem...anyway..the whitespace problem is still there

This is very odd indeed, but I'm sure this has been reported elsewhere as well. But I've no idea what's causing it.

Isn't it possible to filter more then one whitespace?

I think there are no Channels with more then one whitespace :) ... ok that won't fix things like "Disc over" but things like "Disc over HD" would be fixed :)

So how do we know whether its "Discover HD" or "Disc overHD"? Easy enough to a human, not so easy to automate in the general case.

My question would be who is transmitting this garbage in the first place? Or is there actually a fault in TVH that's processing the fields incorrectly.

Yeah thats what i' meaning... one whitespace you can't... but multiple whitespaces ... hahaha and now i see whats going wrong here...

This Forumsoftware kills more than one whitespace... for better understanding i will replace whitespace with underscore in my example

"Disc_cover___HD"

Between Discover and HD are 3 whitespaces, having more channels with this ...

Sorry don't saw that the software here was killing this :)

OK, now I see what you mean. Yes it could possibly squash spaces.

However I think we need to get to the bottom of where these things are coming from in the first place. Please pop along to #1407 and add you're input there.
