Can anyone please tell me how to create a list of terrestrial TV channels to be able to watch TV using VLC?
Hi From the forum circa 2009;
scan /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB -o zap | tee ~/channels.conf
Modify file scanned as required, channels.conf is/was recognized by VLC.
Thank you Malcolm.
Just the information I was looking for :-) .
While I have no idea of what '-o zap | tee ~/channels.conf' is supposed to do, I was able, with some slight modification, to produce a channel list of ALL the channels I have available which VLC now displays on my monitor and which I was able to view until a couple of days ago :-) .
(The most important bit which produces the result for me to have *all* the digital channels available for me as in the past was use the 'auto-Australia' file in '/usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/'. Using the 'au-Canberra-Black-Mt' file produced only a short list of digital TV channels. )
Once again, thank you, Malcolm, for remembering what was mentioned in the Forum way back in 2009 or so :-) .

Hi The only reason I remembered because i wrote about it ;) I have a usb device which I need to patch and recompile the au8028 kernel module if/when I want to use it for FTA channels here. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.28-4-default up 0:02, 3 users, load average: 0.35, 0.40, 0.17 CPU Intel® B840@1.9GHz | GPU Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
