OpenDCT Missing Channels

[bcjenkins]

Could OpenDCT fall back to http streaming if a QAM frequency isn't known but the stream URL is?

Optionally, can it start a stream and get the QAM frequency?

If I use the SageTV tuner, bypassing OpenDCT, it will scan for channels. I was thinking OpenDCT would allow me to use the same channels as the HDHomerun listing. This makes it easier for me to map them as I can preview via VLC.

I performed a scan using the hdhomerin_config tool and the results are attached. In case it is of any interest.

I just added this last night, so yes. The next release will have it.

You can change hdhr.always_tune_legacy=false to true and that should do it.

That's awesome. I look forward to that.

Thanks
