Installation of NextPVR on Libreelec

[mvallevand]

Based on the scanning table it tried to find the "known" frequency but it gave up after 10 seconds or so. I have no idea if this is the right frequency, there are some repeater frequencies too, but I believe there is a way to increase the scan time from 10 seconds. It could mean signal issues too.

2022-03-08 21:22:13:982 [DEBUG] >>> Scanning 226500000
2022-03-08 21:22:24:903 [DEBUG] >>> Scanning@about to store

not certain how to progress from here, the scan tables come from Github and as far as I can see they are correct (I checked the frequencies, see below).
I have been trying to move away from TVheadend (which I assume use the same tables?), just to complex and no Schedules Direct integration.

[mvallevand]

I am the one who put those particular files on github to make the LE?CE integration easier, until sub has time to communicate with CvH, the original author of these scripts, on the LibreElec forum and finish them off. I sourced them from a few sites, though but in this case TVHeadend would use the same values, https://github.com/tvheadend/dtv-scan-ta...-Melbourne

If you can get ABC with TVHeadend then sub would need to get involved. Like I posted I don't how to increase the scan time, and what a could value would be. If that doesn't work you probably need to use dvbv5-zap to capture the full ts and then post it. I can probably help with that.

Maybe try a scan with dvbv5_scan. If ABC works with that, we should be able to get it working with NextPVR. (they both use libdvbv5)

[sub]

I doubt we'd need it to wait more than the 10 seconds it's currently waiting each frequency. That is already a very long time.

[jack2296]

Don't really know how to use dvbv5_scan however ABC does work with TVheadend, both use the same Scan table(i think)?

They're not necessarily using libdvbv5. TVHeadend is a fairly old app, so may be using an older Linux api for this stuff, and may behave differently.

You pretty much just run:

dvbv5-scan /path/to/tuningfile

[mvallevand]

Sub is suggesting seeing if this finds channels (you scan on 1 rather then 0 for some reason) on 226500000

dvbv5-scan -a 1 /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.nextpvr/dtv-scan-tables/dvb-/au-Melbourne

You might have to stop the NextPVR service via LE if you get a device error.

If it does you can capture the full mux by saving this as melbourne

Code:

# ABC Melbourne
[ABC]
        DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBT
        FREQUENCY = 226500000
        BANDWIDTH_HZ = 7000000
        CODE_RATE_HP = AUTO
        CODE_RATE_LP = AUTO
        MODULATION = QAM/64
        TRANSMISSION_MODE = 8K
        GUARD_INTERVAL = 1/16
        HIERARCHY = NONE
        INVERSION = AUTO

and running this to get a 60 second file.

dvbv5-zap melbourne ABC -P -t 60 -o fullmux.ts

Then upload fullmux.ts to some cloud storage site.

before I run this I need to install the program first, any idea how I do this in libreelec?
I ran the earlier command and got the attached.
