Mhwepg

Beschreibung

(M)edia(H)igh(W)ay EPG (mhwepg) ist ein Programm um EPG Daten via Satelite zu empfangen, die Informationen werden von der Canal+ group (Mediahighway receivers) bereit gestellt.

Mhwepg bringt die Daten in ein VDR konformes Format.

Kanäle

Canal Digitaal (Netherlands) Digital+ (Spain) Canal+/CanalSatellite (France) Sky (Italia) Cyfra+ (Poland)

Hardwareanforderungen

(Driver API 3), heißt das Mhwepg im Moment nicht mit den neuen Kernel-drivern (1.1.1) zusammen arbeitet.

Softwareanforderungen

Mhwepg, Loadepg, Perl, At (Job-Manager)

Installation

cd $SOURCEDIR
wget http://jrepetto.free.fr/mhwepg-0.4.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf mhwepg-0.4.2.tar.gz
mv mhwepg-0.4.2 mhwepg
cd mhwepg
wget www.lukkinosat.altervista.org/loadepg-0.4.tar.bz2
tar jxvf loadepg-0.4.tar.bz2
patch < mhwepg-0.4.2.diff

Viel verkehrt kann man nicht machen, der mhwepg.log ist unter /var/log zu finden, bei Erfolg:

UTC Offset = 0
Country = ESP, Region = 1
Local Time Offset = 3600
Next Local Time Offset = 7200
Date of change = 25/03/2001

Nb of channels = 82

Auslagerort = /tmp beides ist in der loadepg.pl definiert, und kann dort angepasst werden:

system( "./mhwepg -o /tmp/epg.tmp &>/var/log/mhwepg.log" );
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
....
open( FILE, "/tmp/epg.tmp" );
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Probleme

Don't know if something changed in the driver in kernel 2.6, but I couldn't get the program to work even after patching. It seems that the default buffer size is too small for everything to work smoothly. What solved my problem was adding the following lines at the beginning of SetFiltSection, right after the line struct dmx_sct_filter_params sctFilterParams;

        if (ioctl(fd, DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE, 10*188*1024)<0) {
          perror("DMX SET BUFFER SIZE");
          exit(0);
        }

I'm puzzled because 10*188*1024 should be the default buffer size, but before the modification it didn't work, now it does so....
