Usage ‐ MTM ‐ Gracenote Search - babsonnexus/stream-link-manager-for-channels GitHub Wiki

Gracenote Search is a tool used to find the correct Gracenote ID for a station, something very useful for getting guide data when using extensions like PLM. While there are other solutions available for this in various locations like OliveTin for Channels, the MTM approach is to have the visual interaction be at the forefront. Please note that an active subscription to Channels DVR is required for this to function.

First, users should expand the top panel to reveal a frame linked to a website that uses the Gracenote guide data. After selecting a guide location and type, the list of stations is made available. Most importantly is the short code below each station. For instance, the code for "NFL Network" is "NFLHD".

Copying this code into the search field makes it easy to find the expected result instead of guessing what it might be.

However, you can still put whatever you want in search, including things like a call sign.

Once you identify the correct station, you can copy the Gracenote ID from the first column and use it elsewhere.
