[mythtv] Recordings fail due to switching channel which it thinks failed (Solved!)

[Chris Moore]

Hi,

I think I've found my problem.  frequid is passed to 
ChangeExternalChannel instead of chan in channel.cpp.  I could change 
freqid in the database but that doesn't feel right (I have a cable box 
with a red remote channel changer) so I made this code change:


===================================================================
--- libs/libmythtv/channel.cpp  (revision 9318)
+++ libs/libmythtv/channel.cpp  (working copy)
@@ -543,7 +543,7 @@
                  return false;
          }
      }
-    else if (!ChangeExternalChannel(freqid))
+    else if (!ChangeExternalChannel(chan))
          return false;

      QString min_maj = QString("%1_0").arg(chan);


Cheers,
Chris
