I don't know what the scope of mythweb is, or if there are other plans for solving the issues involved with QAM channel configurations. This may or may not be usefule for general inclusion, but, several of us were having difficulties in configuring QAM channels that were not recognized in a channel scan. So I wanted to post the patch in case others can use it. Basically, I added a few fields to the mythweb channel configuration page, to make updating some channel settings easier. The added variables are: xmltvid: Not directly related to QAM configs. But, the xmltv listings had different channel numbers than what showed up in channel scans. So, manually assiging the right xmltvid to the scanned channel was useful. mplexid: This refers to the entry in the "dtv_multiplex" table, where the frequencies for the scanned channels are defined. So, if InHD is on channel 105, which is 681000000Hz, you find the dtv_multiplex entry for 681000000, and use that mplexid in the channel config. serviceid: As far as I can tell, this equates to the subchannel in the transport stream. e.g. InHD is on 105-1 and InHD2 is on 105-2, so the serviceid for InHD is 1. atscsrcid: In the scanned channels, this value is more random. It may relate to the PIDs for the audio or video in the transport stream (that's just a guess). But, this value seems less important, as I can tune channels when I leave this value set to 0. -- The patch was made against the svn rev 6910, from 7/23/05. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
