[Bug 263501] Re: Exclude scrambled channels from channel.conf

 

Yes, that's because they've adopted that from debian which doesn't make
the distinction between bugs and feature requests.  I don't follow that
philosophy, and I think the Ubuntu guys agree, that's why they created
blueprints.  If something doesn't work the way Me TV claims to work,
then that's a bug.  Otherwise, they are just request for changes of more
features which are far lower priority.  Plus it nice a list of things
for other developers to try and fix, if there ever are any.

Status in Me TV, it's TV for me computer: Invalid

Bug description:
When you do a channel scan you can see information about whether a channel is scrambled (encrypted) or not.

The scrambled channels aren't possible to watch so they should be excluded from the channels.conf (or if anyone ever would have a reason to still have them there, mark them red and place all of them in the bottom of the channel list perhaps).

Example for encrypted channel:

0x0000 0x03c0: pmt_pid 0x03c0 Nonstop Television -- Star! (running, scrambled)
0x0000 0x0348: pmt_pid 0x0348 Kanal 5 Ltd -- Kanal 9 (running, scrambled)

Example for non-encrypted channel:

0x0000 0x033e: pmt_pid 0x033e V -- The Voice (running)
0x0000 0x16f8: pmt_pid 0x16f8 Sveriges Television -- SVT1 Sydnytt (running)
0x0000 0x16bc: pmt_pid 0x16bc Sveriges Television -- SVT1 Västnytt (running)
