- put file name in Sqlite connect string in quotes
- improvements to Mediatek Philips 120+125/Sony serializer (physically reorder XML nodes, use flags stored in Java serialized blob)
- selecting a RefList changed the current working directory, which prevented .ini files to be found by loaders
- experimental support for MtkChannelList.xml (which is part of several MediaTek based Google TVs, e.g. Philips formats 120 and 125)
- Philips formats 100-125: improved decoding of non-latin characters (turkish, cyrillic, ...)
".BIN" and ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin".
- Philips: Removing a channel from a list is no longer possible (because it is not supported by the TV's import).
When saving a file, all unsorted channels will be placed at the end of the list.
- support for Philips Repair\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists is now read-only. Files can be used as a reference list,
but modifying them won't be possible.
- Philips: fixed display of symbol rate and frequency (off by factor 1000 depending of list and DVB source)
- Philips: fixed special characters in channel names (e.g. german umlauts)
- Philips: "ServiceType" now only shows "TV" or "Radio". There is no information about HD/SD in the file.
currently supports:
- read and write of satellite channels (incl. sorted favorites and "locked" flag)
- read-only of digital cable/antenna files (still missing transponder information)
- Samsung .zip loader: auto-detect UTF-16 endianness and allow to change encoding after loading to UTF-16 LE/BE
(some files use Little Endian format and show chinese characters when loaded with the default Big Endian format)
- Customized column order is now preserved across file formats and input sources
- Note about LG WebOS 5 files (e.g. CX series):
It is still unclear what exact firmware version and conditions are needed to properly import a channel list.
Users reported about varying success of an import, reaching from not possible at all, only after a factory reset,
importing the same list twice or working just fine.
The problems is not related to ChanSort, as it can be reproduced by exporting a list to USB, swapping channels
in the TV's menu and trying to loading the previously exported list back. The TV may keep the swapped channels and
show inconsistencies between the channel list in the settings menu and the EPG.
