Mux file location

yury lafontaine

I created a new mux file with just my frequencies and placed it in /usr/share/tvheadend/data/dvb-scan/atsc. I was expecting to see in the list of predefine muxes however that is not the case. should be be places in another location or do i need to set an option somewhere to have it show up?

Thank you.

Have you tried restarting tvheadend, as this list is probably only read at startup:

sudo service tvheadend restart

or equivalent on your platform.

Yep - tried that. the file is not read. i did notice the file format has changed. not sure if that has anything to do with it.

FWIW, I just copied one of the existing files to a new name and restarted tvh, and it immediately appeared in my list...

Now, I haven't tried using it for obvious reasons, but it is detected, at least. And apologies to the residents of Lansing, it was simply the first thing to fall off my keyboard...

Nothing for me, does not even pick it up.

My previous scan file looked like this

A 849000000 qam256
A 843000000 qam256
A 837000000 qam256
A 813000000 qam256
A 807000000 qam256
A 771000000 qam256
A 765000000 qam256
A 759000000 qam256
A 753000000 qam256

A 747000000 qam256

can the format be the factor?

Well, yes, if I compare that to the format of an existing file, e.g. the us-MI-Lansing one I copied:


# initial tuning data for Lansing, MI

[CHANNEL]
	DELIVERY_SYSTEM = ATSC
	FREQUENCY = 617000000
	MODULATION = VSB/8
	INVERSION = AUTO

[CHANNEL]
	DELIVERY_SYSTEM = ATSC
	FREQUENCY = 695000000
	MODULATION = VSB/8
	INVERSION = AUTO

[CHANNEL]
	DELIVERY_SYSTEM = ATSC
	FREQUENCY = 719000000
	MODULATION = VSB/8
	INVERSION = AUTO

... and so on. So that may well be the issue - but I'm only guessing.
