You can't use the graphical setup yet. Use a similar setup as for analog
cards, e.g.
capturecard:
* videodevice: the adapter number of your device, e.g. 0 for
/dev/dvb/adapter0[/frontend0]
* audiodevice: empty
* vbidevice: empty
* cardtype: "DVB"
* defaultinput: "Television" (just "TV" might work as well, but must
match cardinput, I'd think)
* audioratelimit: empty/default
* hostname: obvious
* dvbtype: S, C or T, see docs
* use_ts: see docs
cardinput:
* inputname: "Television" (or just "TV", see above)
* tunechan/startchan: I don't know what the difference between those
is, but it's the same as analog
* externalcommand: ignored
* preference/shareable: I don't know, if any code uses that yet,
certainly not the DVB code
videosource:
* name: free
* xmltvgrabber: command name of your grabber, e.g. tv_grab_de
* userid: unused (was for the gist USA grabber, now dead)
Of course, the ids must match in a meaningful way. "See docs" refers to
the document I wrote some time ago and to which I posted a link earlier
today.
As cheat-sheet, here the syntax of some SQL commands for the mysql
console (of course, you need to adapt and extend them):
* To invoke mysql:
mysql -uusername -ppassword -hhostname
* To select the database:
use mythconverg;
* To add a row:
INSERT INTO capturecard (cardid, videodevice, cardtype) values (1,
"0", "DVB");
* To change an existing row:
UPDATE channel SET callsign="ARD" WHERE chanid=1;
* To view a row:
SELECT * FROM channel WHERE chanid=1;
SELECT callsign, channum FROM channel;
If you son't want to deal with SQL commands, I found the QT application
"tora" to be quite nice to browse around the database, but I didn't
manage to commit changes using that :-(. PHPMyAdmin (or similar) is a
webinterface for roughly the same purpose.
