Bug #1774
Channel mapping to EPG grab source disappears
100%
Description
Whenever I restart tvheadend the mapping between my channels and the xmltv EPG grab sources disappears
As far as I can see the link is made in the files in the following folder:
.tvheadend/epggrab/xmltv/channels/www.timefor.tv/tv
After creating a mapping in the tvheadend web ui a file will look something like this:
{
"name": "DR1 HD DK DK",
"icon": "http://static.timefor.tv/imgs/epg/logos/dr1hd_big.png",
"channels": [
2,
1
]
}
but when I restart tvheadend some information is removed from the file, and the file now looks like this:
{
"name": "DR1 HD DK DK",
"icon": "http://static.timefor.tv/imgs/epg/logos/dr1hd_big.png"
}
This is a really big issue for me since it means that I cannot have my tvheadend box shutdown automatically during the night.

Updated by I also experience the same problem
Reproduce by the following steps:- I put the "EPG grap source" on channel in web interface
- Hit "Save changes" (Here after, I can also see channeid in the xmltv file)
- Restart tvheadend
- Reload webinterface
- And setting from previous is now gone again
Like glazed I use also timefor.tv. as xmltv source
Can I do some debug to find more information?
Running git version: HTS Tvheadend 3.5.243~g2b64995

Perhaps the problem lies in that timefor.tv uses "/" (slash) in their channel id?

Hi
I've made work around script to remove the slashes from the xml file, and that fixes the problem for me.
#!/bin/bash #download xml file from timefor.tv (replace your id) /usr/bin/wget -q -O ~/xml/epg.xml http://timefor.tv/xmltv/idxxxxxqwer123 #use sed to remove "www.timefor.tv/tv/" from channel id's. sed -i.bak 's/id=\"www.timefor.tv\/tv\//id=\"/g' epg.xml sed -i.bak2 's/channel=\"www.timefor.tv\/tv\//channel=\"/g' epg.xml

tvheadend handle not correctly when there is a slash in the xmltv channel id, which it very well may be a result xmltv standard.

Updated by Can someone provide a sample file that they believe causes the problem? There is nothing in TVH, that I can see, that should preclude a "/" being in the channel ID. But that doesn't mean there isn't something I've missed (quite probable).

Ah, the problem is the way in which I'm storing config to disk!
The slashes get used in the config path, and thus create unexpected subdirs. When reloading the config these files are completely missed and not properly tied up.

Will there be a new version of TVH 3.4 with all fixes from 3.4.27 until now?
