Any idea what FM_SCxxxxxx classes are?

Report · Apr 19, 2014

Hi. I have RH11 and I'm working with topics that I imported from FM12. I just discovered a lot of phantom classes that start "FM_SC", followed by several numbers, sprinkled throughout the text, as shown just below in the quote. Any idea what these are all about? It seems like they can be safely deleted, but I'm not sure. If safe to delete, are there any tools that can delete them en-mass?

The main downside to these classes is that when I click on text that follows one of these items, the highlighted style in the Style tab becomes unselected.

Thanks in advance.

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) provides subscribers
with frequently updated scheduling information for each channel the subscriber
receives. The programming and scheduling information is obtained and ingested
automatically from an EPG provider, such as Gemstar and Tribune Media
Services. Metadata for local channels is created
through local data files and loaded into the system through the Local
EPG Loader script. 
The EPG files correspond
loosely to <?rh-udv_start name="ProdMain" ?>Minerva<?rh-udv_end ?> channels. A channel is a container of
time-based programs, including the EPG station to which it corresponds
and the address (or addresses) that carries the program content itself.
A channel appears in a channel lineup only when it is added to the lineup.
A channel may have multiple addresses, including a multicast IP address
for TV-over-IP, a virtual channel for a cable system, or a URL for HLS
content. The client automatically uses the appropriate content for the
device.

Whenever you see anything coming across as “FM_” that means that you haven’t mapped the FM character or paragraph tag to a corresponding RH style. Check your Conversion Settings or run your FM content through a FM template file before bringing it into RH.

Thanks Jeff. That makes sense. I'll check the FM source to see what might be triggering these codes.
