- improved reference list channel matching: if multiple channels match the same name, then the candidates are narrowed
down by service type (TV/radio/data - if known), case sensitivity (upper/lowercase), encryption (unencrypted first)
- added round-trip unit test for all loaders to check reordering channels and favorites, saving and reloading
- internal code clean-up regarding different favorite list modes (none vs. flags vs. ordered per source vs. mixed source)
- Toshiba settingsDB.db: support for lists without analog tuner data (missing TADTunerDataTable)
- Grunding: failed to load lists where the <Digital> element did not contain a <channels> child element
- W.I.P: reworking the reference list system so that a simple list of channels can be applied to the main channel numbers or a particular favorite list.
(The "Automatically reorder all lists" options currently does not work)
- Philips ChannelMap_100 and later: "Channel" XML elements inside the DVB*.xml files are now reordered by program nr.
- Philips ChannelMap_105 and 110: fixed saving favorite lists (keeping FavoriteNumber="0" in DVB*.xml and only
setting the numbers in Favorites.xml)
- m3u: keep original end-of-line characters (CRLF or LF)
- m3u: detect whether channel names are prefixed with a program number or not, and save the file in the same way.
- Philips ChannelMap_45: incrementing fav list version number when saving and setting the last_watched_channel_id to
the first channel in the fav list (ensuring that the channel is actually present in the list)
- Philips: show info that it may be necessary to unplug and reboot the TV after the import
- Philips ChannelMap_45: show info when there are checksum errors, which indicate that TV's internal list is broken
and a rescan is required in order to properly export/import the list.
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed handling of favorite lists (allow up to 8 lists, empty ones get removed automatically)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: no longer prompting to reorder channels sequentially (to close gaps).
(This feature caused DVB-C/T list to only contain odd numbers and DVB-S to contain only even numbers, when both exist)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: added display for service type (TV/radio), encryption, sat frequency polarity
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed display of DVB-C/T frequency
- Philips Repair\chanLst.bin (1.x): fixed sat frequency display for transponders with vertical polarity
and original number of bytes for hex-encoded Unicode names (channel name, fav list names)
- Philips ChannelMap_110: setting the "UserReorderChannel" flag in the file to 1
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed error when channel names did not match between tv.db and Cable/Terrestrial/SatelliteDb.bin
- fixed handling of reference lists (matching sat/cable/antenna, digital/analog, tv/radio/data criteria), especially for m3u lists which don't contain ONID-TSID-SID to identify channels
- 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.
- LG WebOS 5: added warning that support is only experimental.
- Panasonic: Channel name editing is now supported for svl.bin files (unless there is no indicator what encoding to use)
- Hungarian translation: added missing files to .zip
- added Hungarian translation (credits to Istvan Krisko)
- Sony XML: fixed display of wrong DVB-C cable channel/transponder number
- LG webOS 5: unfortunately no news yet, but the insight that some "CX" models run on webOS 3.6 and others on 5.1, using
different file formats.
- LG WebOS 5: fixed handling for deleted satellite radio channels (some TVs expect majorNumber 0, others 16384)
- "Open File Dialog" now works again when double-clicking on a shortcut to a directory (.lnk file).
- DevExpress library update
- Philips: added support for analog channel lists (Repair/CM_* format)
- GB Freesat reference lists updated
- Hiding "Favorite" column when the list doesn't support favorites
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)
directory.
(Philips exports the .xml file with file attributes "hidden" and "system", which makes them invisible to Windows Explorer)
- upgrade to DevExpress 20.1.6
- 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.
- upgrade to DevExpress 20.1.4
- aded NUnit test to compare original and modified file and ensure only expected changes are made
- added DevExpress Data.Desktop DLL is now with 20.1 to start the application
during the TV setup or channel search
- fixed: Sony KDL channel lists were not saved correctly
- upgrade to DevExpres 20.1.3
- Loaders can use Api.View.Default.MessageBox(...) to show a DevExpress themed message box without adding a reference to DX libs
- NO favorite list support
- UNCLEAR behavior when the list contains channels from multiple sources (DVB-C/T/S) - so far only files with a single source are supported
