Looking for developers familiar with channel scanning and diseqc code
|
|
Hello
I am looking for developers who can help me understand the bigger picture of the channels scanning and diseqc code for DVB receivers.
So far it seems quite complex. What I would like to to is add functionality to import the so called satellite.xml file. This file contains a schema listing the known frequencies for the specified satellites in the file. The file is commonly used by DVB satellite receivers running on some form of embedded Linux.
There are various tools around that generate an satellite.xml file from well know sat web pages like lynsat or kingofsats.
Those tools make it very easy to keep on up to date list of known frequencies of sats of your choice.
So being able to import such a file in myth would make the whole channel scanning process much easier.
I also am having problems getting myth to use my rotor using the Usals config option. mythtv-setup works fine, it positins the rotor to the correct sat when channel for channels . Zapping channels via the frontend does not work, i.e. the rotor always stays at the position I lastly used during a channels scan fom mythtv-setup.
The logic and implementation seems hideous complex. Needing to define a source for each new sat in the setup phase.
So I am looking for some help and guidance to understand this functionality/architecture and code implementation in myth , before starting to make changes in it.
Regards
Peter
