Hi guys,
Why could we not choose from more than just one EPG Provider? All issues would be gone for everybody!
Not all Providers in Gracenote are complete, which means you nearly never can use all channels for recording or LiveTV. This is just sad as the tuner would have the channel but due to EPG from Plex you cannot use it. And realy the reporting brings not too much and is a pain in the ass…
Why not make the ability to pick about 3 Providers which would have all the channels we want for recording and LiveTV. On a next step after picking the providers we need, we could setup the channels according to the EPG from these 3 Providers. The auto matching would be disabled if you choose more than 1 Provider. The Data from these 3 Providers come anyway from Gracenote, its just more data but still just for one user(premium user). Should also not be a problem about licensing.
Like this everybody could use (mostly) all of the channels available from the tuners. Also People who are using mixed cable and satellite would be happy about that.
There are many ways to implement that…its not far away from what it is already. Now we just choose from one Provider and Plex is only downloading content from the channels you selected from the Provider. Later with my suggestion Plex would download from 3 EPG Providers but also only the channels you selected before in the setup. Everybody would be happy and also not need to report everything to Gracenote.
