DVB-S ini file parsing change

[martint123]

The UK satellite cluster has just been a pain recently - with a dying satellite and some channels moving to temporary transponders and back to a new satellite.
This site http://satellites-xml.eu/ can generate up to date .ini files for satellites or clusters but it's format of the "extras" seems to be in a format disliked by npvr.

I was wondering (hoping) that as the site above can create up to date ini files for everywhere that it could be handy to be able to use these files as they are???.

p.s. could you also refresh my memory about the channels shown when scanning and the difference between normal and greyed text.

regards

oops, forgot log and sample ini file

The ones that show in grey are matches to ones already in the database.

Thanks for the very prompt response.

Sadly it looks like it is using dvb-s2 for each transponder - as seen on the top scanning window and only finding channels on S2 transponders.

Attached zip with npvr.log from this run and the ini file with text as parameters. I'll run it again with edited parameters to produce a log and ini for comparison, but it takes around 45 minutes to scan.

damn - why do I always forget the attachments! Well at least the second scan finished.

bad = textual parameters to ini file seems to only tune S2
good = numeric parameters manually edited and full scan

I think this will fix it.

I'm getting on a plane later today to head to London. I see you've turned on some good weather for me

I hope you're in time - Seems yesterday was the hottest July day on record... Usually followed by thunderstorms!.

Have a pleasant and successful visit.

Indeed it did. Very many thanks, one less pitfall when they shuffle transponders again.
Have a warm pint on me when you arrive
