Description

Is it possible to add such like per network (eg. terrestrial, or setellite name) tag to channels, so them can be grouped in mediacenters like XBMC without show an infinite list of mixed channels. This may be useful in multi adapter setups

Seconded. I've got a multi-satellite system and I find most of the auto-generated provider tags to be of little value, whereas an automatically created tag of the satellite name would be a great help.

When you say "Satellite name" do you mean the "network name" that you specified in the 2nd tab of the DVB configuration, i.e., the orbital location name of the satellite? Or do you refer to the network provider name (which is already copied as a tab in the Channel list)?

Yes, using tvh 3.4 for satellite name i mean the one i choose in the add muxes window (orbital location), but i think whatever tag which can refer to a source is enough (like the comment field in the satellite config tab). For terrestrial tuners, a generic "terrestrial" or "DVBT", or whatever is enough to group all channels. The goal - for me - is group channels eg. all terrestrial channels, all channels from astra 19.0E, all channels from Eutelsat 13.0E and so on, so i don't need to zap between 10.000 channels in a gigantic list where all services are mixed. The network provider name, for my goal, is not enough because each source (each satellite or terrestrial) has many providers (for example in my case - Italy - terrestrial dvb - the source - groups 28 different network providers)

Ok, i switched to tvh 3.9 series, so only now i understood your question;)
The answer is "network name", this is what i need in my tags to differentiate sources. Curiously in channels tab there is a "services" column which reports the network name, but this element is not shown as tag (at this point isn't better to unificate the "services" and the "tags" columns?)

I'm not a programmer, but after over a year, i still need this feature, then i got e try.

Maybe it's not a more elegant way, but, at least for me, works.

If anyone with my needs wants to try it, i'll be happy to know if it works too.

(p.s. sorry for my bad English)

Here is a more respectful patch to achieve the goal, Can someone more expert revise it and tell me if it's syntactically and formally correct?
If this can be considered useful, may i put a pull request for this? And how?

Sorry, this is my first time, i don't know the process to contribute to a project.

Thank you.
