VDR Diseqc settings are off in my configuration. Similarly to the rotor and actuator plugins there is a file in the plugin directory that stores the disecq postion number for every satellite: - S3.0E 31 S4.0E 30 S4.8E 15 S7.0E 14 S9.0E 29 S10.0E 13 S13.0E 12 S16.0E 11 S19.2E 10 At the moment you need to manually edit the file to set the positions up. A later version might include assigning or changing the position numbers directly in the plugin interface. I should at this point thank Luca Olivetti for all his work on the actuator plugin. I'm no developer, so wouldn't have been able to get this far without all the work he did on the scan interface etc. I've merely hacked his work to modify it to work with disecq 1.1 and fixed some issues with DVBS2 tuning. Ideally, we should probably work together to unify the two plugins so you can select Actuator / Disecq / GOTOX as the motor type attached and have a totally new plugin probably called "Dish" or something similar. Still left to do: - 1) Remove or fix some actuator specific interface buttons that are not too relevant or don't work 2) Fix enabling and clearing of limits as this doesn't work with my VBOX, I can't clear the limits via the plugin once they are set 3) Look at "recalc" and see how that can be implemented within rotor-ng 4) Remove old unused code that is related to actuator use 5) Update documentation etc 6) Find somewhere to host it - vdrprojects? 7) Implement GOTOX (though I don't use it so not sure how it would be tested. Might need a volunteer to do this by looking at the GOTOX patches for rotor and implementing them on rotor-ng).
