Good stuff, does anyone know the format that Myth is expecting.

I received this, which is great but now I see that it's missing fields.

Ffrr send me a great sample file.
ABC
HDTV:226500000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_64:TRANSMI
SSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_16:HIERARCHY_NONE:2314:0:576

I tried to imported the data, what do you know it worked.
But I still am unclear as to what the fields are, except for the obvious
ones.

At this point I can tune channels with azap, dvbscan or scan (renamed),
dvbtraffic gives me great info. I can cat traffic into mplayer and view my
HD video. But when I use my output file from scan Myth fails to import it.

sample output using -c -o zap
[0007]                   (0x0007) 00: PCR == V   V 0x0800 A 0x0801 (eng)
0x0802 (spa)
[0008]                   (0x0008) 00: PCR == V   V 0x0840 A 0x0841 (eng)
[0009]                   (0x0009) 00: PCR == V   V 0x0880 A 0x0881 (eng)
0x0882


Sample output -c
004:555000000:QAM_256:2048:2049:7
005:555000000:QAM_256:2112:2113:8
006:555000000:QAM_256:2176:2177:9
name:frequency:modulation:vid_subchannel,aud_sub_channel,pid

So can anyone shed light as to what seems wrong with these config files?
Or at least open this format up so I can duplicate it by hand if need be.


HDTV:226500000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_64:TRANSMI
SSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_16:HIERARCHY_NONE:2314:0:576

Name:freq:??:bandwidth:??:??:Modulation:??:??:??:??:?? <- one of the last 3
is sub_channel I think.
