reordering channels doesn't work

Yeah, I seemed to have missed that feature in the migration to 2.0. At the moment you can get around it by ordering your channels.conf file before the import.

I have restart the development of me-tv with the version 1.4 (from the code base of 2.0.1) and I found out why it isn't working.

I'll fix that soon (before next year :))

I really need this feature ;)

You said you found the problem. Can i help?

Hi Thomas,

Basically, me-tv server talk with me-tv client thru XML. When the client
send the new channels.list it forgot about the channels ordering. The work
needed to be done is to add a string for the channel ordering when the
client send the channels.list to the server and the server must read this
string and populate the DB accordingly.

I hope I explain it well enough. I'll try to find time to send you more
specific stuff.

Cheers,
Frederic

I'm looking in source 1.4 and I found the problem. In file request_handler.cc, function RequestHandler::handle_connection
There is no code for request "set_channel_order"

line 263 :
  else if (command == "set_channel_order")
  {

  }

I gonna look in previous versions if this feature was already implemented.

Did you ever find the resolution for this, or is it still an open issue?

On v1.3 it work OK but the code is missing for v1.4. If you look at the
code that produce the XML between the client and the server, you will see
the blank fonction.

I am going to start my posts here, and someone can redirect me if appropriate. Not a bug report, but how to get MeTv working.

Using Ubuntu 12.04, I have tried many ways to install Me-Tv and get it to consistently work on my HP g6 laptop. I did get it to work once(not sure of the ver but maybe 1.3.6, so I know it will work on the laptop. But things went amiss and I have not been successful since trying many different versions.

So for starters, what specifically is the latest .deb version I should be using and where do I download it from. I will clean me-tv entries, install the deb, then return for help as needed. I like the simplicity of MeTv and do not want to have to mess with MythTV.

[I obtained me-tv_1.4.0-0~49~precise(from somewhere) and have it currently installed. It will not autoscan and only goes to Scan Wizard(Import a channels.conf option only)in foreground and Channels Editor locates behind it. ]
