I'd be interested in helping with parsing the file formats to start with - if they were to be exported into a seperate library that is. Looking at VDR 1.26 there are three config files: sources.conf. This contains a description of the source of the transmission - the satellite/Dvbt/dvbc transmitter: S19.2E Astra 1B/C/E/F/G/H/2C S21.5E Eutelsat II F3 S23.5E Astra 3A S24.2E Astra 1D (you use T and C prefixes for terrestial, and cable respectively) This is referred to from diseqc.conf, which lets the user specify how to tune to a signal to that source: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 A W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 A W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 A W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 A W15 T The above specifies how/what diseqc/tone/voltage commands to send for the four "bands" for Astra 1B/C/E/F/G/H/2C.. the format is as follows: # satellite: one of the 'S' codes defined in sources.conf # slof: switch frequency of LNB; the first entry with # an slof greater than the actual transponder # frequency will be used # polarization: V = vertical, H = horizontal # lof: the local oscillator frequency to subtract from # the actual transponder frequency # command: # t tone off # T tone on # v voltage low (13V) # V voltage high (18V) # A mini A # B mini B # Wnn wait nn milliseconds (nn may be any positive integer number) # [xx ...] hex code sequence (max. 6) Finally, channels, conf refers to sources.conf directly, and looks up the appropriate entry in diseqc.conf to know what diseqc stuff to use: RTL:12188:h:S19.2E:27500:163:104:105:0:12003:0:0:0 So RTL is at freq 12188, h polarization on source S192.E... you can guess the rest.
