Hi, this is a small channel scan tool for vdr which generates ATSC, DVB-C, DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T channels.conf files. It's based on old "scan" tool from linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0, the differences are: - no initial tuning data needed, because scanning without this data is exactly what a scan tool like this should do - it detects automatically which DVB/ATSC card to use - much more output formats, interfacing to other dtv software. 0. Newest Version -------------------- always at http://wirbel-htpc-forum.de 1. Building w_scan -------------------- Ususally not needed - w_scan is included as binary in this package. 1.a Using the autotools tool chain. ---------------------------------- If you really need to compile, just issue the usual ./configure make make install NOTE: For compiling need up-to-date(!) dvb headers with DVB API 5.3 support are needed. If configure fails complaining about missing or old DVB headers, run in your kernel source 'make headers_install' (needs kernel 2.6.29 or higher (!) ). At your choice you may also manually update this files; they're located in /usr/include/linux/dvb. 1.b Using the cmake tool chain. ---------------------------------- You may also use the new cmake tool chain, but be warned - that tool chain is new and experimental in w_scan up to now. It's intended to be used as mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make make install NOTE: cmake allows as ./configure does, a user defined install prefix. Use 'cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<YOUR_INSTALL_PREFIX> ..'. If you don't overwrite CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, w_scan will be installed with prefix=/usr. 2. Basic usage -------------------- NOTE: Newer versions of w_scan need setting '-c' for specifying country (ATSC, DVB-C and DVB-T) or '-s' for satellite (DVB-S). 2.a. DVB-C (using Germany as country, option -c) ./w_scan -fc -c DE >> channels.conf 2.b. DVB-T ./w_scan -c DE >> channels.conf 2.c. DVB-C and DVB-T ./w_scan -c DE >> channels.conf && ./w_scan -fc -c DE >> channels.conf 2.d. ATSC (terrestrial, using United States as country) ./w_scan -fa -c US >> channels.conf 2.e. US Digital Cable (QAM Annex-B) ./w_scan -A2 -c US >> channels.conf 2.f. ATSC, both terrestrial and digital cable ./w_scan -A3 -c US >> channels.conf 2.g. DVB-S, here: Astra 19.2 east ./w_scan -fs -s S19E2 NOTE: see './w_scan -s?' for list of satellites. 2.h. generate (dvb)scan initial-tuning-data ./w_scan -c DE -x > initial_tuning_data.txt 2.i. generate kaffeine-0.8.5 channels.dvb ./w_scan -c DE -k > channels.dvb 2.j. reformat output for UTF8 ./w_scan <OPTIONS> | tcs -f 8859-1 > channels.conf For more sophisticated scan options see ./w_scan -h. 3.
