channel list derived from DVBv5 not accepted *SOLVED*

Hi there,

I have a channel list in the DVBv5 format, since I only have DVBv5 tools on my Linux box.

I have converted the format using this command:

Code: Select all

dvb-format-convert -I DVBV5 -O CHANNEL dvb_channel.conf dvb_channel_new.conf
Now, the content of the new dvb_channel_new.conf looks like this, just 3 lines as example:

Code: Select all

C 113000000 6900000 NONE QAM256 C 113000000 6900000 NONE QAM256 C 113000000 6900000 NONE QAM256
But VLC does not accept this new channel.conf.....
Did I convert it the wrong way?
If yes, how do you correctly convert a DVBv5 channel list to the accepted format?

SOLVED
I used the wrong syntax for converting the DVBv5 channel list. The ZAP format needs be used
This is the correct syntax:
dvb-format-convert -I DVBV5 -O ZAP -s dvb-c dvb_channel.conf dvb_channel_zap.conf
