Add providers for 36e #7

Open dikonov opened 2 days ago

dikonov commented 2 days ago

I made a possible patch adding two major providers for 36e (NTV+ and Tricolor). Unfortunately I cannot test it because I do not know how to modify the compiled providers.pyc file correctly or rebuild the plugin package myself. 36e.zip

Just send your .py file to the box and reboot. And then test your provider works.

It would also be nice to show the orbital position near the provider names. Some of them (NTV+, Sky) have several satellites serving different regions.

OK I tested. It does find channels and transponders, but generates empty bouquets. Are the NID and TID values decimal or hex? Is the provider entry format correct? What is the method to verify the "Original NID"?

What is the method to verify the "Original NID"? Tune the transponder and check the info. If you are using the ViX image those values show in satfinder when you tune the transponder.

Are the NID and TID values decimal or hex? Here, "original_network_id": 112, the value is decimal, but you could write it in hex too, e.g. "original_network_id": 0x70.

I double checked all values and I am sure that they are correct. Everything seems normal during the scan process, yet I get empty bouquets. I also tried scanning OrangeTV at 16E (I used this provider entry as a sample) and it also produced an empty bouquet. Apparently these provider records are incomplete. But what should be added?

Where is the LCN descriptor located on those providers because that is not in your entries?

Do you know for certain these providers broadcast LCNs?

Have you inspected the transport stream and located the LCNs?

Could you point me to a how-to guide on obtaining the missing data? I do not see it at lyngsat or Enigma's channel info screens.

Do you know for certain these providers broadcast LCNs?

Yes, absolutely. There are tons of guides specific to their "official" receivers and TVs, which tell smth like "If your box is XXX, go to menu 'this and that' and do the (LCN) channel scan". The problem is that all necessary data is already known by those boxes and is never visible to the client. I do not own any of those. There are two big providers sharing the same satellites (36e and 56e) and they do not want the clients to see the competitor's channels.

Have you inspected the transport stream and located the LCNs?

How to do it? I do not have the CAM to decrypt their streams, but there are some FTA promo and shopping channels from them.
