OK, When I import an output txt file it's awesome, all the 0 channels show, I can right click and select modify, it shows the channel and sub channel, I can open hdhomerun_config_gui.exe and manually tune the channel and watch tv to figure out which channel it is and then enter the channel name in the modify screen. Then save the .strm files. WORKING PERFECTLY!!!!!
Now the problems, when I do a channel scan like 99% of the people using this program will do it is still filtering out the 0 channels, they don't show up on the screen when the scan completes. Only channels that broadcast their ID show up. I think the problem is when it runs mc2xml at the end of the scan the unidentified channels get ignored. Is it possible to separate the channel scan from the mc2xml matching?
1) Do the channel scan and display the results. (GUI button to select scan hdhomerun for channels)
2)manually edit 0 channels assigning names to them. (Done in display)
3) run mc2xml and let it match channels to names, hopefully if the 0 channels have been edited correctly it will assign the appropriate guide to them as well (Separate GUI button to match guide data to channel name)
4) After match attempt rather than eliminating unmatched channels from screen have some sort of indicator showing matched and unmatched channels (highlight rows or whatever)
5) At this point the user can choose what channels to keep and what channels to dump/ignore
Another possibility is to run the mc2xml matching initially but still display the unmatched channels after the match is run.
Hope you can understand what I'm saying. As I said before if you don't want to go there then don't the current functionality works great for me. It is the people that don't realize/know that there are more channels available that are losing out and if it's worth doing then it's worth doing right, at least that's what my mom always told me
