updated DVB-C tuning file for SAT>IP The Netherlands and question

[mvallevand]

Does this look right, 900 channels are mainly radio I think.  I can't find matches for all of them but a few are ok.

Hi Martin, I checked and yes, they are correct, and indeed mainly are radio channels. In the 4x range the regional TV channels are located.
But not all are presented.

This is how Tvheadend shows it correctly for all LCN of the FTA channels, see attachment. Maybe TVH continues to search until it finds a LCN?
I'm using network ID 4444 for FTA and the main network ID is 5555 (all channels including FTA).

But anyway, this looks very promising and it's useable already, thanks!

Another question: if you guys release a new version of NextPVR, how long will it take before Libreelec also benefits from the update? Right away I guess?

Was it table 5.2.9 here https://ziggo-main.aem.aws.ziggo.io/cont...nal_63.pdf

Close. Same document, 4.8.2 SDT Descriptors.

Good find! Nice to read :-)

I usually wait about a week after the release to get any initial bugs included, then it is the time for the approval of the PR, not sure if LE11 is support by LE team any longer. For the impatient the installer does allow install from the generic NPVR.zip but it won't include comskip or power management changes.

This time the changelog is huge and there are lots of changes pretty much everywhere, so I might wait more than a week. However I build it and test it right away so would be willing to let you try a pre release installer.

O, great, thanks! I'm on LE12 by the way with Raspberry Pi 4.

I initially wasn't able to see any LCN information in your ts file. After a bit of research I found a document saying ziggo use a proprietary method for LCN. This is not uncommon, but it's stored in a different location than other DVB services. I think I've got support for this working, but I've been unable to find a definitive list of channels on the internet to double check the numbers I'm now pulling out.

Hi, great, and maybe you also can add an option to skip channels without LCN, because those are mostly data channels.

Thanks!

Hi, great, and maybe you also can add an option to skip channels without LCN, because those are mostly data channels.

I probably won't do that, because I that's not a good idea for many service providers, since lots don't send LCN numbers (and it's a pain adding an option in the web page for this). Data channels are usually filtered out elsewhere. ie, it only adds channels that are explicitly marked as being audio/video services (though not every provider sets these correctly, so some might make it through).

When the test version of NextPVR (to import as add-on with zipfile in Kodi) with LCN support is ready, please let me know. :-)

I do the LE release and normally I don't post before the release since users can subscribe to the announcement thread, but since you are offering to test I will package something up when sub releases the next version before I submit the PR and before the version is considered stable and will let you know.
