I'm working on making the Channel Scanner more maintainable and fixing
some lingering bugs. This ticket is just to track the progress.
DONE
* It is possible to start the scanner before you set the video source in
input connections pane. [fixed in patch]
* It is possible to start the scanner from the channel editor, even if no
scannable sources exist. [fixed in patch].
* The scan wizard does not prefer the current card and card input if you
launch it from the input connections pane [fixed in patch].
* The scan wizard does not prefer the current source if you launch it
from the channel editor pane [fixed in patch].
* The scan wizard does not show always you which card and input it will
use when scanning [fixed in patch].
* The scan wizard does not handle multiple input cards correctly. [DONE]
* We should make the Analog scanner work more like the normal channel
scanners; at the moment it uses a completely different and mostly
unmaintained class for scanning which does not play well with XMLTV or
DataDirect channel insertion, does not handle inputs correctly, etc.
[DONE]
TODO
* The scan wizard classes interact in strange ways: functional classes
access private portions of the UI classes, the ScanWizard fires off events
just to run functions it could call directly, etc. [partially fixed in
patch]
* #2600 Channel scanner stops scanning after finding (C)VCT
* We need to seperate finding channels and inserting them
* We should report channels which are in a channels.conf import, but
were not found by the scanner (and perhaps allow these to be inserted
anyway).
* We should report channels which are in the PAT and have a PMT, but do
not show up in a VCT and allow the user to insert these.
* We should optionally allow the user to wait for the PAT and PMTs even
after a VCT has been found.
* #1866 DVB Scanning - Remaining Issues
* Tuned Scan does not use the information found in the NIT to find
other transports to scan, as it did in previous releases.
* Other????
