Updating scan tables

[LL88]

Hi there,

I use the Docker version of NextPVR (actually I use Ranbato's version with bundled Comskip) on my Truenas machine and an issue that I had when I first installed it was that the scan tables were out of date. HD channels in my area changed frequency a few years ago but NextPVR was scanning the old frequencies.

I searched for the scan tables on my machine, found them in the docker files and overwrote the relevant one with the updated version from linuxtv.org. Channel scan now scans the correct frequencies and picks up all channels.

Will this be overwritten next time I update NextPVR? And if so, is there a way to make the change permanent on my Truenas, or is the only way making an update to the source file?

Yes. You could script it in PreStartup.sh

I did post a request for comments here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=65433 but didn't receive any. It is a shame that UK users especially have to deal with this but I expect to change the Linux and LibreElec installer. sub can probably do the same with Docker

Ah ok nice, I didn't think of writing a startup script. Shouldn't be too tricky to do.
