Nevertheless, I am still stuck with my "making a channel.conf" problem.
In the meantime, I patched the "scan" sources, to have the order of channel
name and provider reverted, and to have both seperated by a ";" instead of
a " - ", so that it's conform to the requirements of VDR. I also found out,
that the use of the option "-e 2" is necessary, to have NID and TID set to
zero, as otherwise the channel-update-function does not work properly.
The output is now quite useable with VDR 1.3.15, but it's still a total
mess. When I scan Astra1 to a channels.conf file, and use that file in VDR,
at first it changes all channel data, updating PIDs and adding data-stream
to the file, so I assume first it's about zapping through all transpondes,
so that all additional data gets added to che channels.conf file. Then I
want to try to sort that file, just by editing it with the prefered editor
(I work on a ssh connection most of the time, so I just use the nano
editor), but this is a process with open end.
Is there a way to first sort the channels.conf by providers? (no idea how
to do that, since the order is now "ChannelName;Provider:Freq:....)
What about channel-numbers? Are they useable in channels.conf?
I really would appreciate to get some input, how all the other VDR users
manage to have a fitting channel-list, and how to maintain it.
I can receive 4 satellite positions (19.2E + 13.0E + 28.2E + 28.5E + 5.0E),
and at the moment it seems to be a hell of a work to come to a useable
channel setup.
