New satellite transponders file

Hi, i'm using latest Tvheadend build on a Gentoo Linux.
I've found that files containing list of transponders is located in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s. So i've added new file for Eutelsat W4/W7 satellite. Here it is http://pastie.org/2076213. Although all permissions seems to be right:

watcher dvb-s # ls -la Eutelsat*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1521 Июн 13 14:30 EutelsatW2-16E
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1613 Июн 16 09:56 EutelsatW4W7-36E

I still can't find my new satellite in the web ui when i press "Add DVB network by location". Is there some kind of index file, which contains list of satellites that i need to update?

I've restarted tvheadend, no result.

RE: New satellite transponders file - Added by Hein Rigolo over 13 years ago

The DVB locations are currently "hardcoded" into the compiled binary of tvheadend. So updating your initial tuning files will not "automagically" make them appear in tvheadend. With each official release these lists are updated with an script to convert the initial tuning files to a "source file" that is part of the tvheadend source code.

There are bugs/feature request already filed that are aiming to change this hardcoded data to something like what you were already expecting.

But you can manually add at least one transponder you need, and then tvheadend will find all the related transponders if this information is correctly broad-casted. If not all the transponders that you need are found, you can continue manually adding them until you have all that are needed. Currently it is not advised to have a large numbers of transponders listed because that might negatively impact the performance of the GUI (not of tvheadend it self)

An other more complicated method is making your own binary with the details included in that binary by updating the correct files in the thveadend source code (manually of via the conversion script)

What we do, when dvb-apps (with is source used for "automagically" make them appear in tvheadend)
haven't satellites witch we need ex. Hellas Sat 39east?
It's not so easy to put 41 transponder in with only 14 have NIT + 1 fake (10000000 V 30000000)
