DVB-T logical channel number (LCN)

Is there a way to see the LCN of a program? Codec Information window seems not helping. Thanks.

I do not think so. Do you see it in the logs?

I don't see LCN in the log (verbosity 2). It would be nice to add support for LCN and use it to make a channel list into playlist.

Is there a way to view programs in playlist and not only the entire dvb mux? I'd like to avoid Playback - Program and choose program directly from my saved playlist.

You can force a program in the playlist file by specifying the program ID. That's what your TV does internally anyway.

Great idea! Thank you!

I added :program=aaaa (where aaaa is a four numbers Service PID or SID) in Show more options - Edit options.

Unfortunately changing from two program in the same multiplex is now slower as switching from one multiplex to another. It takes 1 or 2 seconds while switching inside a mux it's quite immediate. Is there something I can do about this?

No. If you know the other channel is in the same transponder, you can select it from the navigation menu.

There is nothing in the program menu when :program= is specified as option. Anyway now I have tv similar playlist.:-)

Are the there shortcuts for switching between programs or only the menu?
