- 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

About ChanSort
|
|
--------------
|
|
ChanSort is a PC application that allows you to reorder your TV's channel list.
|
|
Most modern TVs can transfer channel lists via USB stick, which you can plug into your PC.
|
|
ChanSort supports [file formats from numerious brands](#supported-tv-models) and can copy program numbers and
|
|
favorites from one file to another, even between different models and brands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Most of this software was written without support from TV manufacturers or access to any official
|
|
documentation about the file formats. It is solely based on analysing existing data files, trial and error.
|
|
There is a chance of unwanted side-effects or even damage to your TV, as reported in 2 cases.
|
|
|
|
Hisense is the only manufacturer who provided technical information and a test device.
|
|
|
|
Supported TV models
|
|
-------------------

|
ChanSort supports a large number of file formats, but it's impossible to tell for every brand and TV model
|
|
what file format it uses (with may even change with firmware updates).
|
|
This list gives some examples of what should be supported, but even if your model or brand is not in this list,
|
|

|
|
- Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 v1606 or later, Windows 11 (with x86, x64 or ARM CPU)
|
|
- [Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework)
|
|
- The .NET FW 4.8 does NOT work with Windows 7 without SP1, Windows 8 or Windows 10 prior to v1606
|
|
|
|
**Linux**:
|
|
- wine (sudo apt-get install wine)
|
|
- winetricks (sudo apt-get install winetricks)
|
|
- start winetricks, select or create a wineprefix (32 bit or 64 bit), select
|
|
"Install Windows DLL or component" and install the "dotnet48" package and ignore dozens of message boxes
|
|

Or using Docker: https://github.com/PredatH0r/ChanSort/issues/285
|
|
|
|
**Mac**
|
|
- macOS is not directly supported, but you can use Parallels or UTM to set up a VM with Windows 10/11 on the Mac
|
|
- instructions for Macs with m1/ARM CPU: https://history-computer.com/how-to-run-windows-on-m1-macs/
|
|
|
|
**Hardware**:
|
|
- USB stick/SD-card to transfer the channel list between your TV and PC. A stick <= 32 GB with FAT32 file system
