Configuration - Channel/EPG - Channel Tags

This tab is used to configure channel tags. Tags are used to define a set of channels - to group them, to aid searches, and similar. Tags are not required by Tvheadend itself, but are useful in media applications such as Kodi and are a requirement for using Tvheadend with Movian.

'Channel Tags' Tab

The following functions are available:

Button Function
Save Save any changes made to the tag configuration.
Undo Undo any changes made to the tag configuration since the last save.
Add Add a new tag.
Delete Delete an existing tag.
Edit Edit an existing tag. This allows you to change any of the parameters you’d otherwise set when adding a new channel, e.g. internal/private status, icon, etc.
Help Displays this help page.

Add/Edit Dialog Example

A common set of fields is used for the Add or Edit functions, most of which can also be seen in the grid view:

Grid Items

The main grid items have the following functions:

Enabled : Make the tag available in the rest of the system. If the tag is not enabled it is only presented in this grid for the administrator.

Name : Name of the tag. Changing the tag name does not interfere with any automatic recordings, groups, etc.

Internal : Tags are exported via HTSP/HTTP and used there for grouping of TV channels. If you do not wish to export a tag you can flag it as internal only.

Private : Tags are exported via HTSP/HTTP and used there for grouping of TV channels. If you do not wish to export a tag to other users you can flag it as private only. Only users with this tag configured in the access configuration (or users with not set tags) can use it.

Icon : Full path to an icon used to depict the tag. This can be a TV network logotype, etc.

Icon has title : If set, presentation of the tag icon will not superimpose the tag name on top of the icon.

Comment : Allows the administrator to set a comment only visible in this editor. It does not serve any active purpose.
