[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] selecting tv channel by name (tv://)

[Ivan Szanto]

Hi,


it's nice to see that tv:// is such a hot topic today ;-)

I like tv:// URL, cause I have a line similar to the
following in my ~/.mplayer/config

tv:channels=e9-1:NL1,e11-2:NL2,28-3:RTL4,63-4:RTL5,47-5:Net5+17,31-6

only with more channels ;-)

By using the channel number on the command line I can switch
to the channel I want to watch right away, e.g. tv://4
The only hassle is that I have to remember the numbers.
In order to overcome that, I made this small patch.
Now it's enough to remember the names of the channels (easier for me).
Even a substring is enough...

Enough said already. Have a nice week end!

Ivan
