Sounds very good. A lot better than an arbitrary Id-String. At least these 4
or five Id are unique and the data for tuning is provided over dvb, so
changes will be catched and channels don't disappear (like Disney/Planet).
Futher I searched a lot on lyngsat about these obvious "french radiostations"
As I catched it was 12207:v: (tp90 according to lyngsat) the Sid in the former
mail was wrong.
The only channel I found there till now is:
Name | SID | Apid
-----------------------------------------
Hits Music | 8503 | 1975
Classic | 8503 | 1977
Jazz | 8503 | 1979
Chanson Française | 8503 | 1980
Vinyl Culte | 8503 | 1981
Planet Sound | 8503 | 1982
House of DJ's | 8503 | 1984
Rock'n'Pop | 8503 | 1985
And in these theory they should have RID's ...
I could do more search on lyngsat (think lyngsat is actual and proven, or am I
wrong ?) if it is helpful. Right now I dont know how to see these PMT/PAT
data, but will try to figure that out.
For people , who want more than one channel-entry for one channel with
different language, there will be the coming "favourite channels" there could
be according to the provided data the language be defined ( first language,
second, third and so on)
Is there any reference to read about the informations provided by the
Transportstream ?
Thanks & Greets
Steffen
