[vdrpylib-devel] Confused with lstc

[Sebastien L. <seb...@gm...>]

Hi,

I had enought free time to have a look to the modifications you made
to svdrp.lstc and vdr.retrievechannels() and I found some differences
(And as I'm currently away from home because of my work, I can't test
accurately).

svdrp.lstc no longer return a hashtable (indexes by channel ID), that
must break vdr.parseepg() wich use channels.has_key() ...... should
not work with plain list. I think you've done that to have an sorted
list. I've done that :

self.listeChainesTriees = self.channels.values()
self.listeChainesTriees.sort()

and I added a __cmp__ method to Channel.py.

EDIT : I'm stupid i should have read retrievechannels till the end.
There is still a hashtable. Sorry. But I still find the use of sort
prettier ;), anyway no big deal.

In svdrp.lstc you use :
c = channel.Channel(tokens[-1], counter)
to create a new channel object. I personnally use :
c = channel.Channel(tokens[-1], int (tokens[0]))
With that the index of the channel represent exactly the channel
number in VDR and it still allow to sort the channel list

in vdr.parseepg, I changed a little the code to skip lines without
correct channels (self.channel.has_key(ch_id) -> false). I don't see
any interest in creating a new channel in this case. What do you think
?

More news to come ...

Bye
