Me TV

invalid channel record in the channels.conf

Asked by Cláudio Silva

I had this error with the version Ubuntu Hardy has in the repository and also with the current one, so i made a little prog to check if all parts were correct, and, in fact, they were. So, after checking the source code and put a log entry in ChannelManager, i found out that it happens because Me-TV just scans 1000 lines in channels.conf. If more, error, which is my case with Sat Hotbird.
Another error, this one with just the current version:

The version in the source repository (yet to be released) loads 2000 channels and logs a message on every channel it loads.

Actually, when it comes to DVB-S, I know very little. For DVB-S, it seems better to use the scan utility from dvb-utils to generate a channels.conf and copy the output ~/.me-tv/channels.conf.

Thanks,

Michael

That's what i've done to create the channels.conf ;) .
Regarding the channels load, my channels.conf has 2024 entries (hotbird has a lot of crap - literaly, most of them are crap), so even that wouldn't do it for me.
