Something was bugging me about the auto-Australia option and I just worked it out.

I get some duplicates too when I use auto-Australia. I think that it is because some of the frequencies are close enough for a scan to pick up both optons.

FREQUENCY = 177500000
FREQUENCY = 177625000
FREQUENCY = 184500000
FREQUENCY = 184625000
FREQUENCY = 191500000
FREQUENCY = 191625000
etc

Perhaps removing all of the '625' frequencies could remove the duplicates. I have not tested this.

You could try the attached au-All. I get no duplicates with this one in Sydney.

au-all.zip
630B

Tried au-all. Yes much better - e.g. SBS working, some duplicates.
Checked settings in 613.5 and 627.5 muxes which had "fail" on au-goldcoast2024-09-19
Found variation: Guard interval1/16 & FEC high 3/4

So went back to using au-goldcoast2024-09-19, scanned:
edited 613.5 and 627.5 Guard interval1/16 & FEC high 3/4, all other items were the same.
That got it. Now have SBS channels. :-)

But on first test record it is double recoding. So I stopped the recording and deleted the top one. It deleted both.
So now that is the next problem. The double recording.

I'll come back to it later in the day.

Good to hear that you are making process. Once we get this sorted, we will need to flag the exact answer for other Gold Coast users to benefit from.

How many muxes do you now have in total that have scanned services?
Could it be that you are getting some extra services from a transmitter that is close enough?

The double recording is odd. How do you start the recording and where do you see that duplicate recordings are occurring?

    Yes absolutely. be great to have it sorted for all to benefit.

    How many muxes do you now have in total that have scanned services?

    8 in total, no double up here.

    Could it be that you are getting some extra services from a transmitter that is close enough?

    It is possible. The system I'm using is unchanged from my past location. This problem did not occur.
    But there are at least 2 towers here. Antenna appears to point to Mt Tamborine.

    The double recording is odd. How do you start the recording and where do you see that duplicate recordings are occurring?

    Experimenting. I've tried through the online interface. + autorec. Plus direct via kodi - timers, timer rules.
    Same double recording for all.

    The channel list shows the named channels without duplicates + a number of "name not set".
    I'm sure I remember this from previous installations.

      Mark Brown 8 in total, no double up here.

      That seems to be correct for Mount Tambourine.

      All of the 'city' networks plus the 3 regional commercial affiliates.

      https://ozdigitaltv.com/transmitters/QLD/165-Mount-Tamborine

      Mark Brown a number of "name not set"

      Can you trace these channels back to the TVH WebUI and see where these are coming from?

      Mark Brown Experimenting.

      OK, but when you schedule one recording/rule/etc, do you end up with multiple finished recordings, or do you start off with multiple scheduled recordings that give multiple finished recordings?

      Do the duplicate recordings happen on ABC and SBS or only the commercial networks?
      Do the duplicate recordings occur across Seven/Prime pairs, for example?

        DeltaMikeCharlie Can you trace these channels back to the TVH WebUI and see where these are coming from?

        Not sure how to do this. I do a lot with TVH WebUI, but can't see this info so far. Will take another look.

        Yes, all channels that I have tried.
        DVD Inputs channel list does have some with duplicates, but all record double no matter how many are listed:

        SBS x1
        ABC x 2
        7 GC x4
        7HD GC x1

        All record x 2, and both are deleted when 1 is deleted.

          Mark Brown ABC x 2

          In the DVD Inputs channel list I unticked enabled on the second ABC. So now just one ABC is enabled. Started a recording. Result = Rage x 2.
          Again, deleted the top recording and both deleted.

          (I better come back to this later today)

          Mark Brown Not sure how to do this. I do a lot with TVH WebUI, but can't see this info so far.

          Make sure that in Configuration -> General -> Base, that your 'Default view level' is set to 'Expert'.

          Go to Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> Channels and look at the channel name column. Are there any that are empty or otherwise odd looking.

          I would be keen to know how your channels match to your services.

          In Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> Channels, how many channels do you have?
          In Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Services, how many services do you have?

          In each Channel, how many Services are assigned?

            DeltaMikeCharlie All of the 'city' networks plus the 3 regional commercial affiliates.

            Big congrats on helping sort this out. All GC Kodi users will benefit.
            Can this now provided to Kodi so this it becomes the default?

              DeltaMikeCharlie In Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> Channels, how many channels do you have?

              256

              In Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Services, how many services do you have?

              84

              In each Channel, how many Services are assigned?

              ??

              Mark Brown Big congrats on helping sort this out. All GC Kodi users will benefit.

              Can you please confirm which scan file actually worked for you and which changes you had to make.
              Perhaps a screenshot from Config -> DVB Inputs -> Muxes.

              Mark Brown Can this now provided to Kodi so this it becomes the default?

              That's the tough bit. The scan files are not maintained by TVH, they are maintained by a third party that is by all reports, minimally responsive. The best that we could probably do is post the scan file here and perhaps on the LibreELEC forum and hope that people will see it.

              We can TRY to get the upstream repository updated, but don't hold your breath.

              I would probably try to create a new scan file called au-GoldCoast_Mount_Tamborine (or whatever).

                Not sure if this is any help.

                  Perhaps you could just post a copy of the updated file that worked for you.

                  update:
                  Tried on a fully new install (new SD card) using edited au-GoldCoast... No duplicate recordings so far.
                  Will upload file after further testing.

                  So still have some duplicate channels, but no duplicate recordings in the 8 recordings so far.
                  Happy with that.
                  The duplicate channels have some with weak signals, so must be from other towers as suggested.

                  I'm still haven't had a chance to figure 788.5 yet. When I do I'll upload the file.

                    So the edited file that worked as described above is attached:

                    au-goldcoast2024-09-21.txt
                    3kB

                    Many thanks for putting this together.

                    It looks like it changed it to a .txt file in the process
                    the file name should be
                    au-GoldCoast(2024-09-21)

                    Not au-GoldCoast(2024-09-21).txt
