Feature Request: Easily Change Channel Numbers

Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#1

Feature request to easily change the channel number.

  1. Both individually, (eg: change a pluto channel that is weirdly low like 0)
  2. And by source. (eg: Start Philo channels at 100, Pluto at 1000)

Its weird that the number is displayed in a box that appears to be editable, but isnt.

example:

Also, can we get easily adjustable channel number ranges for TVE sources like the pluto add on has?

Its a real bummer that I cant go in and quickly change the channel for 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 as they interfere with virtual channels i want grouped at the top of the guide

You can type any number in that box

ive tried on two linux systems. never registered any input. Chrome, Fedora.

edit; just tried on windows using firefox. still doesnt work.

#4

Same here, the box seems to be for editing the channel number, and I can select all of the text with the cursor, but typing does nothing. Chrome browser on Win 10 Pro.

He was referring to the field in the Custom Channel source editor for setting the Start Channel Number.

Channel numbers are not editable in sources, and those boxes you're referring to are not text fields.

You can do this when you create a custom source:

In also would like to be able to custom edit individual channel numberd within editor, not just start number.

Add it to the growing listbof my unreasonable demands. Lol

You can use the channel-number tag to specify your preferred channel number in the M3U playlist.

Sure, there's not a pretty UI for it, but the feature already exists.

That is a good reminder. That works for M3U playlist.

But,. . . What if I want to edit a channel number on HDHR or cable.

I think a elegant GUI solution should be added to roadmap/wishlist. But it should be low priority. Nice to have But not world changing.

You can always use the M3U from your HDHomeRun Tuners instead of the physical device.

i got that option for the Pluto source under edit settings, but im not getting that for the TVE source Philo. I probably worded it poorly above.

how would that work for a TVE source?

If the TVE source updates the original channel number on their end post change, does it mess up the changed number? The whole listing? (speaking for TVE not necessarily for a IP address that you manage in your own house)

I get its possible if the signal is coming from your own device...

The TVE channel numbers (59XX-6999) are assigned internally by Channels. They have no inherent "channel number" on their own. (Also, the source for all TVE feeds is the same, regardless of which provider you use to authenticate with.)

In Playlist Manager for Channels, you can individually renumber all stations, if you so desire...
