Hi, I tested DVBv5 tools, creating vdr channel lists. My first attemp was to convert a dvbv5 channel list: <SNIP> ----------------------------- # file: test_convert_in.conf # # converted with: dvb-format-convert -I DVBV5 -O VDR test_convert_in.conf test_convert_out.conf # [Das Erste HD] SERVICE_ID = 10301 VIDEO_PID = 5101 AUDIO_PID = 5102 5103 5106 5108 PID_0b = 5172 2171 PID_06 = 5105 5104 PID_05 = 1170 LNB = UNIVERSAL FREQUENCY = 11494000 INVERSION = OFF SYMBOL_RATE = 22000488 INNER_FEC = 2/3 MODULATION = PSK/8 PILOT = ON ROLLOFF = 35 POLARIZATION = HORIZONTAL STREAM_ID = 0 DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBS2 <SNAP> ----------------------------- this results in a strange VDR channel (test_convert_out.conf): <SNIP> ----------------------------- Das Erste HD:11494:S1HC23I0M5N1O35:S:(null):22000:5101:5102,5103,5106,5108:0:0:10301:0:0:0: <SNAP> ----------------------------- so I created an other (vdr) channel-file (test123.conf) to see how to fix the problem: <SNIP> ----------------------------- # file test123.conf # # tested with: mpv -v --dvbin-file=test123.conf dvb://"Das Erste HD fixed" # Das Erste HD:11494:S1HC23I0M5N1O35:S:(null):22000:5101:5102,5103,5106,5108:0:0:10301:0:0:0: # # dropping "(null):" and delete last ":" fixed the problem for mpv # Das Erste HD fixed:11494:S1HC23I0M5N1O35:S:22000:5101:5102,5103,5106,5108:0:0:10301:0:0:0 <SNAP> ----------------------------- 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 ... I suppose the '(null):' is the result of pointing to *nothing* ... An other mistake is the ending colon (":") at the line. It is not explicit specified but adding an collon to the end of an channel entry will prevent players (like mpv or mplayer) from parsing the line (they will ignore these lines). At least: generating a channel list with dvbv5-scan --output-format=vdr ... will result in the same defective channel entry, containing "(null):" and the leading collon ":". If I can help -- e.g. testing -- please contact me.
