| Post subject: | UK: sat channels that change |
G'day all, Since I have been using sat. for channels rather than over the air, I have come across the situation where channels move and then recording fails. This has become more of an issue lately with freesat coming online. So I have written a chunk of perl and added a table to mysql to try and fix the problem. Basically... Run a scan, save the output Process the output, comparing the scan data with the mysql tables channel and dtv_multiplex. At the moment, it outputs the sql commands that would be used to change the tables. It works... mostly. The problem I have is when we need to point to a new dtv_multiplex row. I can do a search looking for frequency, polarity and symbol rate and if I find one that matches then I can change channel.mplexid fine. The problem I have is when we can't match to an existing dvt_multiplex, I need to create a new one, which I think I can do by manually looking at lyngsat and getting the data from there, I can get some of the data from the scan output. My question is, does anyone know hoe mythtv does it, it adds rows to dtv_multiplex so it must find the data. I can look through the source code but thought someone might already have the information. Or is there another script I can run ... any other ideas? This should work for other countries as well and maybe even dvb t/c, but I can't test that. Or maybe someone has already done this? The extra table I added was to keep track of channels I am not interested in and I change the channel names from what is scanned to what is in the guide etc. I.E. ITV1 <region> becomes ITV Also the new table allows me to report new channels that appear. |
