At a guess either you have a typo in your local_conf.py or you have a permission problem on the live.buf file. Try deleting live.buf (it doesn't need to be created before freevo is run BUT the directories do, my mistake should have check the directories exist/created them before opening the file :-) ).

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
put it anywhere setupdvbstreamer -A /path/to/channels.conf One final point is that you will need to start DVBStreamer as the user that you set it up as. ie If you setup dvbstreamer as root you'll need to start it as root.

Jonathan,
Here's my local_conf file. As you can see, I finally made a channels conf for
dvbstreamer. Unfortunately, even though Freevo starts up with out any stated
errors, I still can't record or watch TV.
I thought if you looked at my local_conf, maybe you or some other Freevo user
could tell me what, if anything, is configured wrong.And yes, I run dvbstreamer
and Freevo as root.

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
No, I don't use xmltv and I can't manual record on this new Freevo box. I
choose to do manual recording all the time, like I have for the last 3 years
with my
other Freevo box that records only analog, using a hauppauge 350 with ivtv
drivers. I've never had any luck configuring xmltv, so I just don't bother.

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
I did dvbctrl lsservices -- -id as root and it executes the command, but nothing is displayed in the terminal. Does it create the file somewhere else?

We had a GSoC project improving the DVB code in GStreamer. I have a small test file with not much lines of code that records a whole program (incl. all audio languages and teletext). The problem I have right now is that there is a deadlock on stop somewhere we can not find. So there is much going on in that area. Snip Like I wrote above: better record the whole channel. Soenke had the problem once that the German audio pid suddenly changed to 'German for blind' with someone talking in the background what you see. The normal German audio channel was on a new pid. This sucks and can only be avoided if we record everything and choose later. Sorry for coming in late to this discussion (was away last week), the program I've been working on for the last 1 2/3 year would get round most of these problems. DVBStreamer monitors the PSI/SI data so you don't get the problem where the PID changes to a different use and you get the wrong audio. Currently there is no CAM support, but this can easily be added via a plugin (I can't do this as I have no CAM to test against). It already supports DVB-S/C/T and ATSC. GStreamer could still be used to render the stream as DVBStreamer outputs to a file or UDP/RTP. It also supports filtering multiple services (channels) if your using a card that can pass the whole transport stream. DVBStreamer is already being used for the live pause plugin in freevo 1.x (http://www.dvbstreamer.org) Cheers Adam - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
Don't know how this is with dvb-(t,c,s) but with dvbstreamer a
channls.conf file with all the channels
(2-69) for atsc could be feed into dvbstreamer and it would detect all
the channels. then a
'dvbctrl scan all` would rescan all the channels, so a script a night
could rerun the scan. next
'dvbctrl lsservices -- -id| grep -v ^.. ` would filter out
the ones that aren't there. so for example
..0003 : CHAN63
..0003 : CHAN64
..0003 : CHAN65
..0003 : CHAN66
..0003 : CHAN67
..0003 : CHAN68
..0003 : CHAN69
00bd.0435.0004 : 12-2 WILLSD1
00bd.0435.0005 : 12-3 WILLSD2
01f1.03fb.0004 : 17-2 WAND-SD
0209.0004.0004 : 0004
02a5.03e1.0004 : 3-2 WCFN-DT
TV_CHANNELS = [ (''00bd.0435.0004,12-2 WILLSD1, ''00bd.0435.0004),

(2-69) for atsc could be feed into dvbstreamer and it would detect all
the channels. then a
'dvbctrl scan all` would rescan all the channels, so a script a night
could rerun the scan. next
'dvbctrl lsservices -- -id| grep -v ^.. ` would filter out
the ones that aren't there. so for example
..0003 : CHAN63
..0003 : CHAN64
..0003 : CHAN65
..0003 : CHAN66
..0003 : CHAN67
..0003 : CHAN68
..0003 : CHAN69
00bd.0435.0004 : 12-2 WILLSD1
00bd.0435.0005 : 12-3 WILLSD2
01f1.03fb.0004 : 17-2 WAND-SD
0209.0004.0004 : 0004
02a5.03e1.0004 : 3-2 WCFN-DT
TV_CHANNELS = [ (''00bd.0435.0004,12-2 WILLSD1, ''00bd.0435.0004),
(...),
]
could be created. with python i guess we could import it via a
separate file, though it would require
restarting freevo every day.

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
Thanks, that worked.One more question. The other problem I have is with Freevo
finding or creating (not sure which) the live buffer file in the tmp folder.
I've tried creating it and seeing if it would create one when it begins
recording, neither works. Now that I have a channels.conf, will it create
this file? Or do I need to do something else?

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
Thorsten Pferdekämper wrote: I have also had a look at gstreamer a while ago, but it seemed to be a huge amount of work to get that running with DVB-S etc. It is much better now. We had a GSoC project improving the DVB code in GStreamer. I have a small test file with not much lines of code that records a whole program (incl. all audio languages and teletext). The problem I have right now is that there is a deadlock on stop somewhere we can not find. So there is much going on in that area. 1. Create a channels.conf with the DVB channel names ...where I have found out that these are not unique. In my channels.conf, some of them appear twice with different data. There are service numbers and stuff like that which seem to be more reliable. So we use service numbers or a list of possible names. E.g. both 'Das Erste' and 'Das Erste RB' match on ard.de. I don't know exactly. There could be a problem with the regionalprogramme which only differ at certain times. While these are running, Das Erste and Das Erste RB might me something different. Yes, that is true. There is one small difference every day. This is something a global grabber does not know. 2. A script should now scan the DVB names to get a guess where the DVB listing comes from (Germany, UK, US, etc). Thinking DVB-T, this makes sense. With DVB-S it's a bit different... My Astra 19.2E list contains Germany, UK, France, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria,... Right, that makes it more difficult and a script like yours may be needed. In that case we need a list of lanuages the user can understand. Yes, this is something my script can do. However, there is a slight problem. E.g. Arte delivers two audio streams: a french one and a german one. You can see this by... scan -o pids ... You might also see that the french audio channel is listed before the german one. This causes the normal channel.conf only to have the french one and (because of this) mplayer only being able to play the french channel, while I would like to hear the german one. Like I wrote above: better record the whole channel. Soenke had the problem once that the German audio pid suddenly changed to 'German for blind' with someone talking in the background what you see. The normal German audio channel was on a new pid. This sucks and can only be avoided if we record everything and choose later.

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB Channel Detection
Thorsten Pferdekämper wrote: I believe that the most annoying part of the freevo config is the setting of TV_CHANNELS in local_conf.py. There is some way to create the statement using the XMLTV data, but this never really worked for me because the XMLTV channel names (if present at all...) do not match the tuner channel names. At least this is the case with my setup using DVB-S and a (patched version of) nxtvepg as XMLTV provider. Yes, that suck. I have the same problem with DVB-T and epgdata.com or the tvtoday xml grabber. ...so I've thought about creating an own helper script to create the TV_CHANNELS. I have attached the (so far) outcome to this mail. It uses the scan utility program (with which DVB users usually create their channels.conf file) to detect the DVB channels, checks for already listed channels in local_conf.py and creates a new TV_CHANNELS statement. (Without inserting it in local_conf.py...) Without trying your solution, how can the script detect that ard.de (xmltv) is identical with 'Das Erste' (DVB)? I guess what we need is a simple txt based database shiped with freevo: 1. Create a channels.conf with the DVB channel names 2. A script should now scan the DVB names to get a guess where the DVB listing comes from (Germany, UK, US, etc). 3. Now the script uses dvbnames_Country to find a match for the names and gives you a list of possible XMLTV grabber for your DVB listing. 4. The script also configures the grabber that you only get the channels in the EPG you have. This requires (besides someone writing that script) that we need the mapping for all DVB names to all possible XMLTV names and information how to configure it.

You get far more details running xmltv. 1. Create a channels.conf with the DVB channel names ...where I have found out that these are not unique. In my channels.conf, some of them appear twice with different data. There are service numbers and stuff like that which seem to be more reliable. So we use service numbers or a list of possible names. E.g. both 'Das Erste' and 'Das Erste RB' match on ard.de. 2. A script should now scan the DVB names to get a guess where the DVB listing comes from (Germany, UK, US, etc). Thinking DVB-T, this makes sense. With DVB-S it's a bit different... My Astra 19.2E list contains Germany, UK, France, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria,... Right, that makes it more difficult and a script like yours may be needed. In that case we need a list of lanuages the user can understand. 3. Now the script uses dvbnames_Country to find a match for the names and gives you a list of possible XMLTV grabber for your DVB listing. Maybe it would be better just having a match from the name (or an other key) the the grabber name (and the name of the grabber itself). I do not really like the idea to have this by country. But maybe the same name is a different channel in a different country? IIRC there are many BBC channels around the world, can we seperate them? 4. The script also configures the grabber that you only get the channels in the EPG you have. This requires (besides someone writing that script) that we need the mapping for all DVB names to all possible XMLTV names and information how to configure it. ...and maybe an information to help automatically skip those which only show ads for sex hotlines. :) Dischi -- If you can't beat your computer at chess, try kickboxing. pgpcepuhat6XJ.pgp Description: PGP signature - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

For Freevo 2.0 I want the tv code based on gstreamer and gstreamer has CAM support. I have also had a look at gstreamer a while ago, but it seemed to be a huge amount of work to get that running with DVB-S etc. So I am currently using my dvbd/dvbcat solution. I don't know if there is any CAM support. (My DVB hardware does not have it...) Maybe we can integrate both solutions one day, so I can get rid of all my home grown stuff. My idea for the EPG was using the program information which comes with the DVB transmission itself (EIT data or something like that). I have already succeeded to create some XMLTV from that, but I have not yet written a script for a full grab. http://www.darkskiez.co.uk/index.php?page=tv_grab_dvb Yes, I've tried that. ...but you need to care for the channel switch and the integration of the XMLTV files yourself. In addition, I'd like to integrate this with my dvbcat stuff. This way, I could run a grabber process all the time, even while watching or recording. But the data sucks. You get far more details running xmltv. Yes, there is not much. But I bleieve that one could build a nice plug and play solution with that data. The nxtvepg data I am currently using is not much better. ...in addition, I have not yet succeeded to get any other german xmltv grabber to produce anything sensible. 1. Create a channels.conf with the DVB channel names ...where I have found out that these are not unique. In my channels.conf, some of them appear twice with different data. There are service numbers and stuff like that which seem to be more reliable. So we use service numbers or a list of possible names. E.g. both 'Das Erste' and 'Das Erste RB' match on ard.de. I don't know exactly. There could be a problem with the regionalprogramme which only differ at certain times. While these are running, Das Erste and Das Erste RB might me something different. 2.

My Astra 19.2E list contains Germany, UK, France, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria,... Right, that makes it more difficult and a script like yours may be needed. In that case we need a list of lanuages the user can understand. Yes, this is something my script can do. However, there is a slight problem. E.g. Arte delivers two audio streams: a french one and a german one. You can see this by... scan -o pids ... You might also see that the french audio channel is listed before the german one. This causes the normal channel.conf only to have the french one and (because of this) mplayer only being able to play the french channel, while I would like to hear the german one. 3. Now the script uses dvbnames_Country to find a match for the names and gives you a list of possible XMLTV grabber for your DVB listing. Maybe it would be better just having a match from the name (or an other key) the the grabber name (and the name of the grabber itself). I do not really like the idea to have this by country. But maybe the same name is a different channel in a different country? IIRC there are many BBC channels around the world, can we seperate them? There are some comments in the code of the scan utility which could help here. For DVB-S, the service-ids are usually quite reliable, at least while you stick to the same satellite. In addition, it might not be a big problem to store a sat-id. I don't know for DVB-T and -C, however. 4. The script also configures the grabber that you only get the channels in the EPG you have.
