Post subject:  [Solved] Channel order differs in LiveTV and MythWeb

Hi there,

I just came across a weird issue with respect to the sequence of channels. After channel scan I assigned channel ids that match the channel numbers of my previously used non-MythTV-setup. I ended up with approx. 42 channels all having assigned the channel numbers my wife and I are used to. Great!

When using MythWeb, all is fine: the channels appear in the very same order as defined. However, when watching TV and switching channels, that order is not effective. Instead of switching from 1 to 2, the box obviously tends to switch to 10 :shock: .
This is backed by the observation that LiveEPG has that same "alpha"-sorting resulting in 1,10,11,12,...,2,21,...,3 instead of "numerical".

Any idea why MythWeb is ok but LiveTV isn't... and any hint how to quickly fix that issue?

Edit: Ok, modifying the channel ids did the trick. I simply ran the following SQL against mythconverg :
Code:
UPDATE `channel` set `chanid` = `channum` where 1

Afterwards, I had to truncate table 'programs' containing the EPG-data with outdated channel-ids and rerun mythfilldatabase to update the program infos...
