    Starting with MP 1.0.1 alpha / svn 23144 we have done some restructuring of tuning information handling to get rid of different file formats (see also: 0002315: Rework tuningdetails to use a common format - MediaPortal Bugtracker)

    1. new filesystem structure (\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TuningParameters) contains one subfolder per tuning source:
      Code:
      TuningParameters\atsc
      TuningParameters\dvbc
      TuningParameters\dvbip
      TuningParameters\dvbs
      TuningParameters\dvbt
    2. all files inside (except DVBIP) are now completly XML based. This simplifies reading and writing much. For samples see current content of folders. When you edit manually, check for case-sensitivity!
    3. for DVB-S(2) users: we now have only one xml for both DVB-S and DVB-S2 transponders. To scan both, you have to check "enabled s2 scan".
    4. the DVB-T tuning info are now separated for each provider; additions and modifications can be made easier.
    5. For DVB-C and DVB-T we now have to selection boxes for fast lookup of your region:
      - Country
      - Region / Provider

      The list get filled by following naming conventions:
      dvbc\country.region_or_provider.xml
      dvbt\country.region_or_provider.xml
    6. new feature to create own tuning details. Creating the list of transponders is easier then ever before:
      for DVB-C ( DVB-S work in progress) you can do a manual scan for a NIT (Network Information Table). There the provider lists up all transponders. After scanning you are able to save the list for later usage and / or uploading here to share :) (see naming conventions above)

    Attached Files:

  1. ColinT Portal Pro

    Will this allow us to adds-video input capability to cards where it is currently not supported by Mediaportal (e.g. Hauppauge Nova S+)?
