Guide shows duplicate channels after multirec if channum's are the same

[Mark Buechler <Mark.Buechler@…>]

This occurs when having two or more channels with the same channel number on different tuners, one of them in use. The channel residing on the in use tuner (would be marked with an X in the channel column) shows as a duplicate of the channel not in use with the same channel number.

This patch seems to fix the issue, but I doubt it's correct:

--- guidegrid.cpp 2008-01-18 12:22:27.000000000 -0500 +++ guidegrid.cpp.new 2008-01-20 16:04:11.000000000 -0500 @@ -1357,9 +1357,9 @@ bool GuideGrid::paintChannels(QPainter *

• channelsChanged = true;

+ channelsChanged = true;

}

Try alternates with different channum if applicable

Also, the second call "chinfo = GetChannelInfo?(chanNumber);" in ::paintChannels() is redundant since chanNumber doesn't change between the first and second call.

i am having an issue also i am only getting one sorce listing on mythweb ? going to check osd guide also .. will check back later.

note it is only in mythweb that has the issue .. the osd guide is fine.. channel 515 on source 1 and 515 on source 2 display and work fine..

Mark, do I have this right?

DVB#1 -> Source Y -> Recording channel Z DVB#2 -> Source Y -> not recording

Channel Z shows up twice, once with an "X" next to it and once without it?

Anon, what you are describing may not be a bug. If the two channel '515' are on different sources and have different, or blank, callsigns the should be shown twice. Actually checking if the content is still the same on the two channels would make the guide grid too slow (unless it was done via some regular preprocessing on the backend and saved, but that would be a feature request.)

[Mark Buechler <Mark.Buechler@…>]

Daniel, more like this:

DVB: Channel 500, Source X Recording MPEG: Channel 500, Source Y, not recording

Normally, the first channel (DVB) would show up with an X since it's tuner is recording a different transport and the second channel (MPEG) would show up available as expected. However, what shows in the guide is:

MPEG: Channel 500, Source Y, not recording MPEG: Channel 500, Source Y, not recording

Mark, in that case do they have identical non-empty callsign values?

PS If they do this is a bug, if they don't this is a feature.

Closing, if two channels have the same channel number but different callsigns we want to list them separately as per discussion in mythtv-dev some months ago...
