Channels

Settings

Preselect playing channel in lists

Settings level: Standard
Description: When enabled and there is a playing channel, the playing channel will be selected when opening a window or dialog containing a channel list.
If disabled, the channel previously selected in a window or dialog will be selected when opening a window containing a channel list.

Synchronise channel groups with backend(s)

Settings level: Standard
Description: Imports channel groups from the backend (if supported) and will delete user-created groups if they're not found in the backend server.

Use channel order from backend(s)

Settings level: Advanced
Description: When enabled, channels are sorted by the channel numbers used by the backend server.
When disabled, channels are sorted using Kodi's own channel numbering.

Allow backend channel numbers with more than one PVR add-on

Settings level: Expert
Description: Allow using channel numbering from more than one backend. Note that the 'All channels' group can contain duplicates of the same channel number if this option is enabled. This means that 'Jump to Ch. #' may not work correctly for that group. This setting is only visible when multiple PVR backends are enabled.

Use channel numbers from the backend

Settings level: Advanced
Description: When enabled, Kodi will use the channel numbering from the backend.
When disabled, Kodi will assign numbering or you may use the Channel Manager to manually configure them.
To avoid conflict between PVR servers, this setting is available only when a single PVR backend is used.

Start group channel numbers from …

Settings level: Advanced
Description: When the previous setting is disabled, Kodi can enumerate channel numbers sequentially and this setting specifies the initial integer value from which that numbering should start.

Channel manager

Settings level: Standard
Description: Opens the Channel Manager, which allows modifying the channel ordering, channel names, icons, etc.

Group manager

Settings level: Standard
Description: Opens the Group Manager, which allows for the management of channel groups and their populations.

Search for channels

Settings level: Standard
Description: Instruct the backend to search for channels (if supported by the add-on and backend)

Clear data

Settings level: Standard
Description: Purge Kodi's PVR database of guide and channel data, then re-import the data from the backend.
Useful for when data between the backend server and Kodi falls out of sync.
