Feature Request

[ferrellsl]

I live in the Phoenix area where there are over 120 channels so it's really time consuming to match channels by their call-signs instead of by channel number in NextPVR. Would it be possible to add a channel tag like the one we get using the old zap2xml PERL script when used with the -9 command line switch? I.E. <display-name>3.1 KTVKDT</display-name>

Here's a complete example for channel 3.1 in the Phoenix area generated by the PERL script with the -9 switch:

<tv source-info-url="http://tvlistings.gracenote.com/" source-info-name="gracenote.com" generator-info-name="zap2xml" generator-info-url="[email protected]">
<channel id="I30817.labs.gracenote.com">
<display-name>3.1 KTVKDT</display-name>
<display-name>3.1</display-name>
<display-name>KTVKDT</display-name>

</channel>

Funny you should ask @ferrellsl this was added about an hour ago

  <channel id="21300">
    <display-name>KTVIDT</display-name>
    <display-name>2.1 KTVIDT</display-name>
    <display-name>FOX ENTERTAINMENT</display-name>
    <display-name>2.1</display-name>
    <icon src="https://zap2it.tmsimg.com/h3/NowShowing/21300/s28719_ll_h15_ac.png" />
  </channel>

What the -9 did was add to the channel id so in the above example channel id="21300" would display as "I21300.labs.gracenote.com"

[jesmannstl]

I have but don't regularly use nextpvr so I see what you're asking give me a few

[ferrellsl]

Thanks. Yeah, this is what I'm getting from an npm run:

src="https://zap2it.tmsimg.com/h3/NowShowing/25104/s56725_ll_h15_ab.png" />
</channel>
<channel id="30817">
<display-name>KTVKDT</display-name>
<display-name>INDEPENDENT</display-name>
<display-name>3.1</display-name>
<icon src="https://zap2it.tmsimg.com/h3/NowShowing/30817/s30817_ll_h15_ab.png" />

I'd like to get an additional tag like this one for each channel:

<display-name>3.1 KTVKDT</display-name>

[jesmannstl]

<display-name>3.1 KTVKDT</display-name>

@ferrellsl The additional tag was added about an hour ago but I just added --nextpvr to make it listed first or if Docker NEXTPVR=TRUE

[jesmannstl]

This was an output using --nextpvr

  <channel id="21300">
    <display-name>2.1 KTVIDT</display-name>
    <display-name>KTVIDT</display-name>
    <display-name>FOX ENTERTAINMENT</display-name>
    <display-name>2.1</display-name>
    <icon src="https://zap2it.tmsimg.com/h3/NowShowing/21300/s28719_ll_h15_ac.png" />
  </channel>

I just downloaded your branch and rebuilt the npm version and I get this:

node dist/index.js --lineupId=USA-OTA85208 --timespan=350 --country=USA --postalCode=85208 --appendAsterisk --nextpvr
error: unknown option '--nextpvr'

Delete the zap2xml folder and download again then npm install and npm run build

[ferrellsl]

OK, did that and now I get the following:

node dist/index.js --lineupId=USA-OTA85208 --timespan=350 --country=USA --postalCode=85208 --appendAsterisk --nextpvr
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1404
throw err;
^

OK, it's working now! Thanks again!

All good
