Hi,
I tested DVBv5 tools, creating vdr channel lists. My first attemp
was to convert a dvbv5 channel list:
<SNIP> -----------------------------
# file: test_convert_in.conf
#
# converted with: dvb-format-convert -I DVBV5 -O VDR test_convert_in.conf
test_convert_out.conf
#
[Das Erste HD]
SERVICE_ID = 10301
VIDEO_PID = 5101
AUDIO_PID = 5102 5103 5106 5108
PID_0b = 5172 2171
PID_06 = 5105 5104
PID_05 = 1170
LNB = UNIVERSAL
FREQUENCY = 11494000
INVERSION = OFF
SYMBOL_RATE = 22000488
INNER_FEC = 2/3
MODULATION = PSK/8
PILOT = ON
ROLLOFF = 35
POLARIZATION = HORIZONTAL
STREAM_ID = 0
DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBS2
<SNAP> -----------------------------
this results in a strange VDR channel (test_convert_out.conf):
<SNIP> -----------------------------
Das Erste
HD:11494:S1HC23I0M5N1O35:S:(null):22000:5101:5102,5103,5106,5108:0:0:10301:0:0:0:
<SNAP> -----------------------------
so I created an other (vdr) channel-file (test123.conf) to see how
to fix the problem:
<SNIP> -----------------------------
# file test123.conf
#
# tested with: mpv -v --dvbin-file=test123.conf dvb://"Das Erste HD fixed"
#

#
# dropping "(null):" and delete last ":" fixed the problem for mpv

refering to the VDR Wikis ...
* LinuxTV: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf
* german comunity Wiki:
http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf#Parameter_ab_VDR-1.7.4
... there is no field at position [4] / in between "Source"
and "SRate" which might have a value ... I suppose the '(null):'
is the result of pointing to *nothing* ...
An other mistake is the ending colon (":") at the line. It is not
explicit specified but adding an collon to the end of an channel
entry will prevent players (like mpv or mplayer) from parsing the
line (they will ignore these lines).
At least: generating a channel list with
dvbv5-scan --output-format=vdr ...
will result in the same defective channel entry, containing
"(null):" and the leading collon ":".
If I can help -- e.g. testing -- please contact me.
Regards
