Bouquet interfering with Schedules Direct internal grabber.
0%
Description
I am using the London HD Sky bouquet to keep all the channels on my system up-to-date.
I also have a Schedules Direct account, importing the EPG data with the tv_grab_az_sdjson_sqlite grabber.
Most of the Schedules Direct EPG channels are named exactly as that received by the bouquet and they automatically match up.
The rest will not automatically match and I have to manually assign them - for example, BBCONE and BBC One would have to be matched by hand.
I have set my system to use both the Schedules Direct grabber and the OTA OpenTV Sky scanner, with the SD grabber having a higher priority.
The effect of this is that all channels that are available on Schedules Direct get the best data and then any other channels have to make do with the EPG data provided by Sky.
The issue starts when I restart my system or when I have install an update - all the channels that I have manually assigned get deleted and re-added.
The problem with this is that I have to go back in manually assign the SD EPG data, again, as the newly added channel fall back to using OpenTV data.
The other downside of this is that if you have a timer set on a channel that gets removed and re-added, that timer gets permanently removed too.
I have tried the following, but nothing seems to permanently solve this:
1. Tried renaming the channel on TVH to match that of the Schedules Direct.
2. Adding the Schedules Direct channel to one of the alias names listed in TVHeadend.
3. Removing the automatically assign EPG check box.
It seems that if the bouquet senses that anything at all has changed to the channel, it deletes it and re-adds it.
