1 All tables are now using DVBv5 format. That allows suporting all standards
2 available on a standard way.
4 GENERATING FILES TO THE LEGACY DVBV3 FORMAT
5 ===========================================
7 A Makefile target is provided to convert to the legacy channel format.
8 For it to work, you need to have v4l-utils installed (specifically,
9 the v4l-utils package that contains the dvbv5 utils).
11 Be sure that you have at least version 1.4.0 installed, or, if you're
12 compiling v4l-utils from its source. Versions below may work too, but
13 some DVB files won't be properly parsed with earlier versions.
15 This is the minimal changeset of v4l-utils required for it to work:

18 Subject: libdvbv5: make sure that all needed properties are filled
20 You can download and install v4l-utils from:
21 http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/v4l-utils.git/
23 Once having it installed, generating all the tables usind DVBv3 channel
24 format is as easy as running:
29 The files can also be individually converted from DVBv5 to DVBv3 with:
31 $ dvb-format-convert -I dvbv5 -O channel dvb-c/ch-Rega-Sense legacy-format-ch-Rega-Sense
33 And converting back into DVBv5 format with:
35 $ dvb-format-convert -I channel -O dvbv5 legacy-format-ch-Rega-Sense dvb-c/ch-Rega-Sense
37 Plese notice that comments are not preserved when doing the conversions.
39 PS.: If you're willing to submit new entries and/or corrections, please
40 be sure to send them at the DVBv5 format and sending them via e-mail
41 to linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
46 In order to install the files, use:
49 By default, it will install the files at /usr/local/share/dvbv5.
51 In order to install the legacy v3 formatted files, use:
54 Don't forget to run "make dvbv3" before running the above command,
55 in order to convert the files to the legacy format.
57 By default, it will install the files at /usr/local/share/dvbv3.
59 There are a few extra parameters that could be used to define where
60 the files will be stored:
62 PREFIX=<dir> (default: /usr/local)
63 DATADIR=<dir> (default: $(PREFIX/share)
64 DVBV5DIR=<subdir> (default: dvbv3)
65 DVBV3DIR=<subdir> (default: dvbv5)
67 So, if it is desired to install both v3 and v5 files at a tmp file,
68 under the current dir, the install command would be:
70 $ make install install_v3 PREFIX=`pwd`/tmp
71 Installing dvbv5-formatted files at /home/myuser/dtv-scan-tables/tmp/share/dvbv5...done.
72 Installing dvbv3-formatted files at /home/myuser/dtv-scan-tables/tmp/share/dvbv3...done.
74 Please also note that install takes some time, as there are lots
75 of files to be copied.
