I have attached two patches for scan-s2 at http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2.

Patch1: Some fixes for problems I found. QAM_AUTO is not supported by all drivers,
in particular the HVR-4000, so one needs to use QPSK as the default and ensure that
settings are parsed properly from the network information -- the new S2 FECs and
modulations were not handled.

Patch2: Add DiSEqC 1.2 rotor support. Use it like this to move the dish to the correct
position for the scan:
 scan-s2 -r 19.2E -n dvb-s/Astra-19.2E
 or
 scan-s2 -R 2 -n dvb-s/Astra-19.2E

A file (rotor.conf) listing the rotor positions is used (NB: rotors vary -- do check your
rotor manual).
Hans,
I'm looking on your QPSK diff and I disagree with the changes.
I think the concept of having all missing parameters as AUTO values should have modulation, rolloff and FEC set to AUTO enumeration.
If your card can't handle the AUTO setting, so you have to specify it in the frequency file.
Applying your changes will break scaning S2 channels for a freq file with the following line:
S 11258000 H 27500000
or even
S2 11258000 H 27500000

Since it will order the driver to use QPSK modulation, while there should be 8PSK or AUTO.
I don't really know how rolloff=35 will affect since its the default in some drivers, but again, AUTO setting was intended for that purpose,
to let the card/driver decide what parameters should be used.


Regards,
Hans
