Yep, got that to work. Look forward to testing the recategorize recordings feature!

I guess this never happened I planned on recording some classic Scifi/Monster movies from Pluto Channel 9026 but they show up as shows ... see The invisible man returns.

I just move them to imports when they are done recording and match them if needed.

#52

Either that or avoid using Pluto's xml source and use the epg Channels provides. Seems like an issue with that dreaded epg from pluto...

#53

Don't think there's a gracenote station id for every Pluto channel, is there?
Pretty sure if there was, maddox wouldn't be using the Pluto xmltv in his Pluto for Channels docker.

Yeah that's true as some channels are not real channels so they got no gracenote listings but most are (ie. NFL channel, MLB channel, thegrio, start tv, BeIN Xtra/En Español, BounceXL)

It is simple enough to move then into the Channels DVR IMPORT Folder.

I use Gracenote Id's for TUBI and Friendly TV.
