w_scan and Tvheadend

balanga · Jun 29, 2018

When running multimedia/w_scan it seems to locate satellite services which multimedia/tvheadend does not.

Is there any way I can get Tvheadend to use the data that w_scan?

Also how do I use the data which w_scan can generate?

You create a channel list from it.
w_scan [options...] >> channels.conf

I found this page which shows how to use VLC with a channel list generated with w_scan....

Code:

w_scan -c FR -X > channels.conf
vlc channels.conf

but have yet to get it to work.... Maybe because I used the '-L' parameter instead of '-X'...
