That allows suporting all standards +available on a standard way. + +GENERATING FILES TO THE LEGACY DVBV3 FORMAT +=========================================== + +A Makefile target is provided to convert to the legacy channel format. +For it to work, you need to have v4l-utils installed (specifically, +the v4l-utils package that contains the dvbv5 utils). + +Be sure that you have at least version 1.4.0 installed, or, if you're +compiling v4l-utils from its source. Versions below may work too, but +some DVB files won't be properly parsed with earlier versions. + +This is the minimal changeset of v4l-utils required for it to work: + commit 64751eb98a15b9c0077d8c2e4409b9b69ac80448 + Date: Fri Sep 5 15:50:43 2014 -0300 + Subject: libdvbv5: make sure that all needed properties are filled + +You can download and install v4l-utils from: + http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/v4l-utils.git/ + +Once having it installed, generating all the tables usind DVBv3 channel +format is as easy as running: + + $ make clean + $ make dvbv3 + +The files can also be individually converted from DVBv5 to DVBv3 with: + + $ dvb-format-convert -I dvbv5 -O channel dvb-c/ch-Rega-Sense legacy-format-ch-Rega-Sense + +And converting back into DVBv5 format with: + + $ dvb-format-convert -I channel -O dvbv5 legacy-format-ch-Rega-Sense dvb-c/ch-Rega-Sense + +Plese notice that comments are not preserved when doing the conversions. + +PS.: If you're willing to submit new entries and/or corrections, please +be sure to send them at the DVBv5 format and sending them via e-mail +to linux-media@vger.kernel.org. + +INSTALL +======= + +In order to install the files, use: + $ make install + +By default, it will install the files at /usr/local/share/dvbv5. + +In order to install the legacy v3 formatted files, use: + $ make install_v3 + +Don't forget to run "make dvbv3" before running the above command, +in order to convert the files to the legacy format. + +By default, it will install the files at /usr/local/share/dvbv3. + +There are a few extra parameters that could be used to define where +the files will be stored: + + PREFIX=<dir> (default: /usr/local) + DATADIR=<dir> (default: $(PREFIX/share) + DVBV5DIR=<subdir> (default: dvbv3) + DVBV3DIR=<subdir> (default: dvbv5) + +So, if it is desired to install both v3 and v5 files at a tmp file, +under the current dir, the install command would be: + + $ make install install_v3 PREFIX=`pwd`/tmp + Installing dvbv5-formatted files at /home/myuser/dtv-scan-tables/tmp/share/dvbv5...done. + Installing dvbv3-formatted files at /home/myuser/dtv-scan-tables/tmp/share/dvbv3...done. + +Please also note that install takes some time, as there are lots +of files to be copied. |
