Hi Mauro, (Hi Chris) sorry for my late reply. I test the v4-utils on my HTPC, where I'am not often have time for experimentation ;-) Am 24.08.2016 um 16:52 schrieb Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Em Wed, 24 Aug 2016 11:49:27 -0300 > Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> escreveu: > >> Hi Markus, >> >> Em Wed, 10 Aug 2016 11:52:19 +0200 >> Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@xxxxxxxxxxx> escreveu: >> >>> From: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> From: Heiser, Markus <markus.heiser@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> The vdr format was broken, I got '(null)' entries >>> >>> HD:11494:S1HC23I0M5N1O35:S:(null):22000:5101:5102,5103,5106,5108:0:0:10301:0:0:0: >>> 0-:1----:2--------------:3:4-----: >>> >>> refering to the VDR Wikis ... >>> >>> * LinuxTV: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf >>> * german comunity Wiki: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf#Parameter_ab_VDR-1.7.4 >>> >>> There is no field at position 4 / in between "Source" and "SRate" which >>> might have a value.

Hmm, I'am a bit confused about vdr's channel.conf v1.x and v2.x. I can't find any documentation on this and since there is no version control system for vdr it is hard to dig the history. As far as I can see, Chris fixes an issue with DVB-T and the issue with the leading ":". My patch fixes an issue with DVB-S/2 entry-location (and the issue with the leading ":"). I will give it a try to merge my changes on top of Chris's patch and test DVB-T & DVB-S2 on my HTPC with an vdr server. -- Markus -- > > > > Thanks, > Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
