VDR Wirbelscan - no channels found

Olodin · June 11, 2018 at 8:26 PM

Hi,

I'm struggeling with VDR on LibreELEC 8.2.5: the VDR Config Plugins does not find any channels.

My setup is x86 64-bit with a Conexant CX23885 PCI-E DVB-S2 dual tuner. The tuner is working with tvheadend (my working installation on ssd).

But on a fresh 8.2.5 installation (usb drive, just for testing, otherwise same hardware) I installed all three VDR addons, started VDR configuration, set tuner to DVB-S/S2, satelite to 19.2 Astra and started scanning. I takes about 2-3 minutes, scan is over but 0 channels found.

I am not quite sure where or what to look for and hope for some help. Any hints?

VDR config plugin never worked for me either. Just download channels.conf from the internet.

Thanks for the hint, that worked. (Got channels from here yaVDR Channelpedia: Overview)

No I can compare tvheadend and vdr on my system.

You have to stop VDR service before you start the scan. It works fine here with DVB-C

systemctl stop service.multimedia.vdr-addon

w_scan -f c -A 2 -c CH -o 2 -Q 1 -R 0 -O 0 -C utf-8 >> /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.vdr-addon/config/channels.conf
