All tables are now using DVBv5 format. That allows suporting all standards
|
||||
available on a standard way.
|
||||
|
||||
A Makefile target is provided to convert to the legacy channel format.
|
||||
For it to work, you need to have v4l-utils installed (specifically,
|
||||
the v4l-utils package that contains the dvbv5 utils).
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure that you have at least version 1.4.0 installed, or, if you're
|
||||
compiling v4l-utils from its source. Versions below may work too, but
|
||||
some DVB files won't be properly parsed with earlier versions.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the minimal changeset of v4l-utils required for it to work:
|
||||

Subject: libdvbv5: make sure that all needed properties are filled
|
||||
|
||||
You can download and install v4l-utils from:
|
||||
http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/v4l-utils.git/
|
||||
|
||||
Once having it installed, generating all the tables usind DVBv3 channel
|
||||
format is as easy as running:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make clean
|
||||
$ make dvbv3
|
||||
|
||||
The files can also be individually converted from DVBv5 to DVBv3 with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ dvb-format-convert -I dvbv5 -O channel dvb-c/ch-Rega-Sense legacy-format-ch-Rega-Sense
|
||||
|
||||
And converting back into DVBv5 format with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ dvb-format-convert -I channel -O dvbv5 legacy-format-ch-Rega-Sense dvb-c/ch-Rega-Sense
|
||||
|
||||
Plese notice that comments are not preserved when doing the conversions.
|
||||
|
||||
PS.: If you're willing to submit new entries and/or corrections, please
|
||||
be sure to send them at the DVBv5 format and sending them via e-mail
|
||||
to linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
