This is for people whose XMLTV file has channels tags that looks like this:

<channel id="3sat.de">
  <display-name lang="de">3SAT</display-name>
</channel>

1. Look for only a number in a display-name tag.
2. If none is found, look for a number in the id property of a channel tag; either just a number, id=”2”, or a number followed by a dot, id=”2.WCPT”.
3. If none is found, fake the channel number.

To get this behavior, you’ll need to install 0.9.8 first, then update a file:
Download it here, then overwrite the file with the same name found in /Library/WebServer/Documents/eyetv-epg-proxy/dataservice.asmx

To verify you have the right file, you can open it in a text editor, and look for this line:
// Didn’t find a rfid, try to get it from the ID, or fake it if it can’t find any.

Good luck,

will this work with shedules direct or what is it for?

No. Schedules Direct is not supported, and will never be unless they change their license to allow us to use their data.

This is for XMLTV grabbers; unrelated to Schedules Direct.
