Channel Mapping

[ErikaJ 65]

Hello...I had mapped the H2 channel to what was in DTV which is now not supported by DTV because of a channel change. However, the UK still has H2 so I mapped it to that EPG but unfortunately the channel i still holding on to the previous mapping. IOW the channel is locked on to the incorrect channel and will not let go in order for the correct channel to be mapped. Is ther a work around or a fix?? Cheers...

Can you just pick another channel instead?

Good Day Luke...Maybe but the issue is that MB will not release its hold on the previous channel mapping even when you try to remap it. However, this issue has been fixed so let me tell you what I had to do in order to unlock the hold MB had.

 

1. ​Close down MB completely
2. Make copy of library.db file
3. Compact library.db file (I don't know if this part was necessary but it did reduce the size of the database by 36%)
4. Delete the channel stream related to the incorrect mapping in the m3u file.
5. Delete the guide data provider that contained the incorrect mapping hold (in this case USA-DITV-DEFAULT)
6. Copy back compacted library.db file
7. Reload m3u file and restart MB
8. Check that previously incorrect mapping is gone
9. Re-map channel to correct mapping program
10. Done
