i wrote a simple "favorites" setting for mythweb and a link that lets you display all the listings or just the favorites.
it saves the settings in the session (which i've been trying to maintain for a longer period of time, i think i found the right entries for php.ini to keep them around for ever) i cheated and just added a column to the chanel editting page (not really the right place for it) works pretty well (and since it's session/cookie based my wife and i don't have to have the same favorites). but it's for a just-post-16 cvs snapshot.... been meaing to update my box and post the patch but been waiting for cvs to calm down a bit. henri On 09 Dec 2004, Chris Petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just noticed that zap2it added another huge block of channels to my > list, and I came up with the idea of channel groups (which is kind of > similar to what Dish does with their onscreen stuff).
