Bug #63587 for Linux-DVB-DVBT: Uk part-time channels and scan/epg

Subject:

Uk part-time channels and scan/epg

Just noticed there are some issues with updating channel lists and epg. As you probably aware a lot of UK channels do not broadcast 24/7, so the current settings have two problems 1. With prune=>1 channels do not appear at all in channels list if they are not transmitting when scan takes place. 2. If channel is not pruned the video and audio pids are overwritten by value 0 I'm looking at the code ATM to fix these issues

Thanks for the feedback Mike. I had noticed the problem with scanning in the morning, but hadn't spotted that I zero out the pids on merging. Sorry about that! I'm currently adding in advert removal code so a new release is pending in a few weeks time (it obviously won't happen over Christmas!). I can always do an earlier release (branching off from the previous release) with just the scanning fixes if you need one? Please send me any suggested fixes (or any other suggestions for that matter). Thanks Steve On Sat Dec 04 09:30:00 2010, redtuxuk wrote: Show quoted text

Could you re-run the scan with '-debug 15 -verbose 15', pipe the output into a log file, and then attach the zipped log file? It would also be useful to have a list of some/all channels that are affected. Note: I would copy your existing config files into a temp directory then use the '-cfg tempdir' option of dvbt-scan so that your working config is not affected. I can understand why the noprune option gives you pids of 0 (this option was mainly added to make the epg gather data for a channel even if you can't record from it), but I don't understand why a channel setting would "go away". For example, tuning in the morning will not find BBC4 but my config keeps the original BBC4 settings.

As far as I can tell (and without any further feedback) this bug has been resolved. Please let me know if you think otherwise.
