The idea with the xmltv ids is that they should uniquely identify a channel. Their behaviour is specified in rfc 2838: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2838.html (see definition of "broadcast"). If everybody followed this rfc there should be very few problems. There is of course several ways to name each channel and still follow the RFC, but we should encourage the different grabbers to cooperate and in my opinion, whoever is the first to provide data for a specific channel gets to choose the xmltvid for it and everyone else should use the same. By providing a list with mappings from DVB-T Channel name / ID to xmltvid we can actually encourage cooperation. So I think we should only map each channel to one xmltvid and make tv_grab_* adapt and cooperate. /Mattias (author of tv_grab_se_swedb) _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
