Comment(by jmwislez at gmail.com):
This is the one feature I am waiting for in 0.21, so I hope it will be
included. I have a few suggestions/ideas, but they should in no way delay
the inclusion in 0.21.
On could also create a table four classes of channel groups:
CREATE TABLE `channelgroupclasses` (
`classid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`classid`)
) ;
and add "classid" to channelgroupnames.
This would allow to re-group the channel groups into logical classes, and
possibly also to store some automatically gathered meta-data about the
channels (e.g. taken from DVB-S) in an orderly manner. An example:
Transmission type: (channel group class)
- TV (channel group)
- HDTV (...)
- Radio
- Data
Language: (...)
- English
- ...
Country:
- ...
Channel type:
- News
- Movies
- Advertisements
- ...
Attribute:
- Teletext
- Digital Dolby
- Subtitles
- Duplicate
- ...
Especially for satellite systems where hundreds of channels are available
this would be very useful.
I am willing to try to help implement features to support this through
mythweb (I only know some php), but I do not want to destabilize my myth
box and I do not have a separate development machine available. Is there
a way to have both on the same machine?
