There is a problem with deleted channels

Open ghost opened this issue 9 years ago • 7 comments

When i remove channels from the list and save the channel list and then open it again it puts the deleted channels back with the number 16383 and you should really add a remove all duplicates feature screenshot 21

Same problem here when editing 'GlobalClone00001.TLL' file from LG 55UH850V. Any solution?

It is intentional that channels do net get physically deleted from LG channel lists, because the TV would automatically re-add them with an unpredictable program number as soon as it finds them. When your TV is tuned to receive a channel on a specific transponder, it will automatically re-add all the other channels that are broadcast on the same transponder.

Instead of deleting them, ChanSort sets them to channel 16383 and should also set the Skip and Hide flags. It seems to be a bug that it doesn't set those flags in this case.

Ok. Thank you. My initial problem which led me to use this software is my TV is very slow in displaying list of channels. And I mean really slow. Something like one minutes or so of hour glass and frozen display. I assumed if I delete unused channels and say keep about 150 from about 2600 currently scanned channels, it will speed up things. So I don't know if hiding channels will have the same effect or not? And about the bug: How can I help? Will you point me to where in the code should I check? Or should I send you TLL file?

Why not only add only the channels of USED transponders with number 16383? If I can not change to a transponder, the TV can not add the unwanted channels... The unused transponders and satellites can also be delete from the transponder/satellite list.

There is only one solution, when you not use PVR(Recording of satellite broadcasts) and LG Connect Apps (which is the ability to control over the same network with the Android phone on the TV).

Post is from 15 mar from me here: https://github.com/PredatH0r/ChanSort/issues/64

Only when <enableHotelMode type="0">on</enableHotelMode> then <enableChannelUpdate type="0">Manual</enableChannelUpdate> work. Otherwise, it is ignored. Factory Reset work then only in LG Hotel Mode.

The support from LG says, LG hotel mode setup is not intended for enduser and offer no support.

This is my edited GlobalClone00001.TLL: GlobalClone.zip

Instead of deleting them, ChanSort ... should also set the Skip and Hide flags. It seems to be a bug that it doesn't set those flags in this case.

I can confirm this as I also tried to delete channels from a file created by Samsung TV but to no avail. But it works after activating the skip flag manually.

Hello, I'm using chansort for mostly hotel tv models. Love it, and also love it's creator (hope it is a girl!) :=)

  1. Please, from the hotel mode menu, enable before scan the ONE CHANNEL MAP option (if needed) and set the Channel Update to Manual.

  2. Every model has to make its own channel list with BLIND scan.

  3. Export, edit with Chansort and save with "DELETE UNSORTED CHANNELS".

  4. Remove from </ITEM> and after, any <ITEM> containing <prNum>0 Linux command for this: sed 's:</ITEM>:&*:g' GlobalClone00001.TLL | awk 'index($0,"<prNum>0")==0{print $0}' RS='*' > GlobalClone00002.TLL

  5. If the first <ITEM> on the list contains <prNum>0 the

</TUNINGTYPE>
<ATV>
</ATV>
<DTV>

or, depending on the model,

</CADTV_TUNING_INFO>
<ATV>
</ATV>
<DTV>

are removed, so please add them back carefully with a text editor.

  1. Additionaly, remove the <prNum>16384</prNum>, if therev are any Linux command: sed 's:</ITEM>:&*:g' GlobalClone00002.TLL | awk 'index($0,"<prNum>16384")==0{print $0}' RS='*' > GlobalClone00003.TLL

  2. Remove the empty lines: sed -r '/^\s*$/d' GlobalClone00003.TLL > GlobalClone00004.TLL
