> [channel name] > property = value > ... > property = value Currently, at least gstreamer's dvbbasebin and mplayer assumue that the channel configuration file has the format of one line per channel. So when I personally patched them to use v5 parameters, I chose the one-line-per-channel format of <channel name>:propname=val|...|propname=val:<service id>, for example, NHKBS1:DTV_DELIVERY_SYSTEM=SYS_ISDBS|DTV_VOLTAGE=1|DTV_FREQUENCY=1318000|DTV_ISDBS_TS_ID=0x40f2:103 , to minimize modification (hopefully). I understand that it is not that difficult nor complicated to adapt applications to use the ini file style format, but the old one line style format seems slightly easier. and I wish that the channel configuration can allow nicknames/aliases, as the canonical channel name can be long to type in or difficult to remember correctly. If I remember right, MythTV has its own database, and it would be convenient if we could share the database, because applications currently have their own channel configuration separately, and the configuration change like new service or parameter changes must be propagated manually. regards, Akihiro -- 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
