EpgScan for Octagon HD
« on: June 29, 2010, 01:02:18 PM »
EpgScan Version 0.2

Quote:
This is an Alpha version of a background scanner for SF1018
How it works:
The second playback channel is used to scan in the EPG data.

Once launched, the satellite channel of the current display is determined.
If a tuner is not used and the second playback channel is free, is scanned.
Now is the turn around all of the satellite transponder is read.
This will always receive the "first" TV-channel of the transponder for 10 sec.
PIP during the scanning is interrupted.
If the second tuner used for a recording, the scan will be interrupted.
Is changed to a different satellite, it will be scanned.
After switching back to the scan of the current satellites will continue.
According to the transponder once through all happened, nothing more.

The data is not saved. So, after restarting a new scan is necessary.

Since the second playback channel is used is during the scan when you turn the PIP always the newly scanned channels active.
Then again everything is "normal".

The scan on Astra 19.2 at the moment takes me about 20 minutes.

The LogFile is currently on / STORAGE / HDD / written, as it is with me with debug info quite large.

Test, as always, at your own risk. Particularly with respect to botched recordings.
Since I do not use cards, I can not say anything about the behavior with Sky + or HD. After all, does the scanner every few seconds, a little computation time and a tuner will set again.

If the two tuners attached to various dishes, is not the whole work.
If the two tuners in the loop mode is used, no idea whether it works.
