Hi Guys,



thanks to CBot from the ->Tuxbox Forum<- you & me ;-) can now have EPG on the FreeSat Platform provided by BBC & ITV etc.



The attached file is a early Version and hopefully later on will be released as a Diff or of possible included in the CVS.



File To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Easy test:

To try, telnet to your Dbox and ftp the sectionsd to /tmp and chmod 755 sectionsd



Then type: killall -9 sectionsd

Then type: /tmp/sectionsd



Permanent test:

To try, telnet to your Dbox and ftp the sectionsd to /var/bin and chmod 755 sectionsd.



Look for a file called start_neutrino within /var/tuxbox/.



You could modify it this way:




if [ -x /var/bin/sectionsd ]; then

/var/bin/sectionsd

else

/bin/sectionsd

fi



Above depends on your Image !!!

Little update

I tested it on my Box and for today the EPG on BBC for example is fine but during the rest of the day it suddenly jumps to Saturday and then to Wednesday ...

Eearly development Stage but good progress.

Whist watching BBC London it also added the EPG for ITV London but not for BBC2. I am only remotely on my box so not a 100% test.

Some extra technical Info for the EPG Guru's out there



Freesat EPG sends via EIT but not on PID 18 it rather uses PID 3842.



They only send short event description and not Extended and the Titel and Description is encrypted.



They use the Hoffman code were each letter is depending on the previous one.



The 1st Byte is always 0x1F and depending what table is being used is defined by the 2nd Byte.



MythTV has released via the GPL the used Hoffman Code and the decoding table.



Seife keeps developing the sectionsd so you might want to combine above Diff and this diff: dbox2 / linux &bull; Thema anzeigen - [PATCH] Mal wieder ein sectionsd-Versuch... (http://tuxbox-forum.dreambox-fan.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=360913#p360913)

I think this is in the cvs as I am using a fresh cvs neutrino on my 500s for freesat and the epg is fine.

Works great on my 500c with netid scanning (under 3 minutes) as well.

so far error free recording which is novel after the enigma images i have used in the past.
