No tool isn't throwing any errors whatsoever, but that same tv29.db if I try to load it again it is my understanding should show changes for groups, renamed channels, like it is in template correct ? But for me it just loads same unmodified tv29.db. I tried copying it regardless but it doesn't show, and of course I did turn off all those sync options with backend.
@Alucard thanks for all the help, so I tried just with renaming channels, and that works, than I added groups, and I can see in your tool when Applying changes that it's updating groups, but when I transfer file to the pi 2 it doesn't see them, I tried also deleting all the groups that it picks from server and than transfer tv29.db still nothing, tried creating group that I know I created but its empty. So its definitely something related to my setup, will try today to put modified group file into windows kodi and if that will work
Do you have any groups? If you have the NFPS groups, then they are being overwritten from the back end. But I think you said you already made sure that you disabled the back end syncing. If this is the case, you may try resetting your MAC. I know that I had an issue where I enabled one of the channel back end channel syncing options and once set it would not disable and I had to change the MAC for it to disable.
If I turn off sync groups from backend and clear data I don't have any groups obviously, but seems something with OpenELEC is going on because on setup like that I add TEST group and channels to it from Group Manager, and I can use it, but it's gone after reboot, which is really strange. Not sure if it's a bug, but need to see how to sort that out, I did try changing MAC but yeah as I said there's something not working properly if groups created inside OpenELEC can't be saved.
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/tv29-db-not-preserving-channel-groups-between-boots/8632The template will not change. It will ask if you want to add new channels if you load the template and new channels have been added to the system.
Are you sure you are looking at the correct DB? It should take a couple of minutes to update everything. If you want to post your template I can take a look and make sure it is correct.
You may need to use the DB file from the device that it was created on. I have seen this issue in the past where if I copy a working good DB from a Windows install to an android install it will not work. You need to reset your TV Data and then wait for the files to be updated. Once updated, then copy and use the template loader.
@Alucard I'm aware you're way more knowledgeable than me, but is it possible that DBs are different on android boxes and other systems, causing issues for some of us? When I use kodi manager from adskiremote everything works, but when I use your version I can see changes happening in status bar but not reflected once its loaded on the box?
I'm not sure I understand how to use this feature. I'm looking for a solution for the issue that makes all my personal channel groups disappear every time I relaunch Kodi. How can I use your feature to keep them?
I'm using Windows10.
Thanks!
