[mythtv-users] Recording radio channels on DVB

[George Styles]

Hi,

A few people mentioned that you can record radio channels on a DVB
card (in my case DVB-T UK). Using myth from svn 15 aug 05.

It does work, if you can get the channels added to channels, record is
TS format, and set it to not check for something (in settings of
advanced DVB, below the TS format).

The method I used to get the radio channels in was to hack siscan.cpp
where it says 'ignoreAudioOnlyServices' in if statements, I changed it
to read false.

(i am now trying a build where ignoreAudioOnlyServices is set to
false, in the lines
 // Settable
      ignoreAudioOnlyServices(true),
      ignoreEncryptedServices(false),

im not sure if that will work, as I dont fully understand that c++ syntax)

This allowed the scan to proceed and radio channels were added, which work.

The only thing missing is that the EIT (program guide data in the DVB
stream) doesnt seem to work for radio channels - anyone solved this? i
will use tv_Grab_dvb if its not possible.

The .nuv files produced by radio recording can be transcoded to mp3
using ffmpeg to make your own podcasts :)
