Sorry for the long delay but i was testing YaVDR installation as it promised a better configuration and channel editor, which it had TBH, but the FTA HD channels that it's scanning did find, won't display.
So i have a new installation ..... again... now running XBMCbuntu ( latest release ) and TVheadend as backend ( Version 3.2.34 -no 1 mux left bug detected this time )
I added a Screenshot to clarify the points.
1. Again NO BBC HD / BBC HD ONE etc. ( even after 4x scanning - which is 2 hours per scan ) not found BVN either ( in a list of 6000 channels it is hard to find, and there is no SEARCH FUNCTION ).
2. Please break up the tags so we can filter on them ( filter on Provider - SDTV/HDTV/Radio ).
as you seen i wasted again a whole day just on scanning channels alone, so this is why i urge for a better way to store the information ( backup - no need for hours of scanning for example ).
TVheadend is still the better LiveTV backend out there, even with it's flaws on usability(*), which i hope will be picked up.
(*)
My view on what needs to be added in the (web)user-interface:
1. Tags break up for easy 1 click sort. ( and will make point 2 easier )
2. Adding Group editor ( adding groups and adding/removing channels to those groups and group priority ( sort groups )
3. Store information in a file format for backup and pre-designed listing ( no need to scan - it would even fix my missing channels problem)
4. Ability to easy add channel Icons (automatically) like in VDR and media portal for example, pre-defined icon names will help to make this possible when you just need to point to a location and not a file(name).
5. Search function for channels in various tabs like channels and groups.
This is by no means a rant on the program, but i hope some idea's that could be helpful to make TVheadend a backend that can be configured and up and running within minutes and not days.
