Hi, I'm writing a program to edit / sort vdr channels.conf in a smart way.

From what I can understand so far, the first field format of a valid

channel line is:

Provider - ChannelName;Bouquet

Actually it's "long name,short name;provider" (see man vdr(5)).

Where both provider and bouquet are optional.

"long name" and "provider" are optional. "provider" is sometimes referred to as "bouquet".

While I can get the provider with scan -p (from dvb-utils), I don't understand how I can get the Bouquet info.

Does vdr fill the bouquet info automatically ?

Yes.
