From GBPVR to NPVR

[Stargrove1]

Hello Sub,

in the zip file is the scan.cache file, the country file I created for kabelbw and the logs directory.

One of the first lines of the scan.cache file contains for example the channel KIKA (370000,6900,QAM256), this one is not found although the frequency (60=C,370000,6900,QUAM256,8) was scanned.

Thanks.

Hi sub, did you have time to take a look at logs? How is the channel data saved, perhaps I could edit the file by hand to enter frequencies. Or would it be possible to add such a feature in addition to the scan function? I would like to change to npvr but without all the channels my girlfriend would be not amused ;o)

Is this the remaining problem? If so, make a .ini file with just that frequency, do a scan, and post the npvr.log and I'll take a look.

Hi sub, did you have time to take a look at logs?

No I hadnt, but I just checked now. I cant see any attempted channel scan in those logs you posted above.

There are more channels with problem, here is the log:

How did this end up saying "QUAM256". There is nothing nothing in the application that would have set the text to this. Do you maybe accidentally add the "U" when posting the logs?

[Stargrove1]

The failure happened by creating the .ini file with only 370000. Here the correct log:

He probably just has a spell-checker in his browser that changed it. I think Quam is actually a word, though I have no recollection as to what it means.
