[vdr] Making a channel.conf with 'scan' util?



Dear vdr users,

I tried to make a channel-list for Astra1 19.2E + Hotbird 13E + Astra2 28.2E + Eurobird1 28.5E + Sirius 5.0E with the scan utility from the linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0 package, but I can't really get it to work properly. This is the exact command I used to scan each satellite position:

scan -a 0 -s 0 -o vdr -x 999 -p -e 3 -l UNIVERSAL Astra-19.2E
scan -a 0 -s 1 -o vdr -x 999 -p -e 3 -l UNIVERSAL Hotbird-13.0E
scan -a 0 -s 2 -o vdr -x 999 -p -e 3 -l UNIVERSAL Astra2-28.2E
scan -a 0 -s 2 -o vdr -x 999 -p -e 3 -l UNIVERSAL Eurobird1-25.5E
scan -a 0 -s 3 -o vdr -x 999 -p -e 3 -l UNIVERSAL Sirius-5.0E

I used 999 as CA to be set for encryped channels, which I replaced with zero afterwards, so that each channels CA is detected automatically during use (I think this is the intended proceeding). The -p option should skip the provider name (but it obviously didn't).

My problem is, that the scan utility does not know about VDR 1.3.x channel.conf format, as each data line is missing some PIDs, that's why I can not get any EPG data on the channels from that channels.conf.

This is the line, how it was in the channels.conf, that was enclosed with VDR:

VIVA PLUS;VIVA Fernsehen GmbH & Co. KG:12551:vC56:S19.2E:22000:171:172=deu:173:0:12120:1:1108:0

And this is the line from the 'scan' result:

VIVA PLUS;VIVA Fernsehen GmbH & Co. KG:12551:vC56:S19.2E:22000:0:0:0:0:12120:1:1108:0

I don't know exactly, how to create a proper channel.conf, but I think there should be a better way, than messing around with 'scan'.

Any comments welcome.
