How to change scheduled recordings after channel rename?

Post by chis » Sun Mar 12, 2017 2:34 am

Two of our channels have renamed, and a lot of repeating scheduled recordings point at the old channel name.

Is there a way to automatically swap all the old channel names for the new names in the schedules?

Have you tried renaming the channels in the Channels screen of the Scheduler Console?

Renaming the channels there appears to just change the display name with the underlying id unchanged.

After renaming the old channel to "channel old", all my recordings now point to "channel old" too.

Found the "all-too-obvious" solution! Export the schedule, rename the channel entries in the XML and import back in. All there, working happily on the new named channel.
