dvbsrc: support dvbv5 channels format
Last modified: 2016-06-25 09:59:08 UTC
Currently dvbsrc supports only reading the channels.conf file in the old zap format. It would be nice to also support the new format that is more complete and readable. Some details can be found at this link: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Dvbv5-scan
Created attachment 325808 [details] [review] dvbbasebin: also accept DVBv5 channels.conf format This patch allows reading and using libdvbv5 channels format, it uses the old format as a fallback when parsing fails for some reason. It also was only tested for ISDB-T so some fields might be missing to have it working with other standards. It would be nice if someone could try this and add any missing fields to have it working for their regions.
Created attachment 325837 [details] [review] dvb/parsechannels: fix dvbv5 modulation names Patch builds on Thiago's and fixes it for ATSC The idea of adding dvbv5 file parsing capabilities is indeed quite useful. Some of the delivery systems can only be supported properly by moving out of the loosely defined ZAP format so in general: +1 from me. It might also be a good idea to double check the labels/names for the rest of the parameters are OK before pushing though.
Any other opinions on this new feature?
The patches can no longer be applied by "git apply" due to subsequent changes in the repository.
Pushed.
