USAGE:

* If you use SendTo, or drag-n-drop, the files that were selected, or dropped, will be edited and copied to the target directory (while keeping their original file extension).
* When ChannelFixer.exe is run directly it will edit all the files in the target directory with an extension that matches the TargetExt setting.
* When you run "ChannelFixer.exe" it will check if a shortcut exists in your Window's SendTo folder. If it does not exist it will be created.
* Original files are replaced by the edited files (unless using drag-n-drop or sendto from a different directory).
* Only 9 files at a time can be processed via SendTo or Drag-n-Drop.

 For Up2Date users the ChannelFixer.zip download includes an end.bat file for transferring the TGD files to the Toppy. You need to edit EPGdata in end.bat if your epg directory on the toppy is different. You also need to change 2 settings in up2date.ini - change upload=yes to upload=no and endbat=no to endbat=yes.

Note:
The only error checking done relates to the ini file. So it WILL overwrite files in the destination(s) configured in the ini file even if they are newer versions.

INSTALLATION:

It's as simple as unzipping the contents of the zip file to any directory, and then configuring replace.ini.


INI File Settings:

  • TargetDir = path to the files to be fixed.
  • TargetExt = file extension of files to be fixed.
  • The remaining fields are for the text you want changed.
  • And what you want the text changed to.
