[vdr] Re: Generating channels.config for vdr

[Stuart Wallace <stuart@wapbot.co.uk>]

I've come up with a solution using dvbtool. 
  
% dvbtool -qam 16 -cr 3_4 -f <frequency> -i > mux.xml 
% xml2vdr mux.xml >> channels.conf  
  
And repeating the above for each multiplex. 
  
For the Digital 3&4 and SDN multiplexes it should look like: 
  
% dvbtool -qam 64 -cr 2_3 -f <frequency> -i > mux.xml 
% xml2vdr mux.xml >> channels.conf  
  
The channels.conf will need editing as dvbtool sets things like polarity and other stuff that are irrelevant for terrestrial and cause VDR to choke. 
  
It's not perfect but it seems to work (at least for Mux 1). 
  
But I would like a better solution. 
  
Maybe I'll cook one up.

For sample conf files look into the sub-directories of DVB/apps/scan. 
There are files for dvb-c/dvb-s and dvb-t.
