Tvheadend

Yeah someone mentioned they thought that it should be the same coding, but I've not looked into it. How long has your system been running? Has it had time to find the transponder carrying the EPG data, because since I've not looked into it I've not hardcoded the mux as I have the freesat one.

I don't unfortunately have a DVB-T card I can test on, so I might need to enlist some help?

The system has been running for a while now and has had time to get epg data for all SD channels. I certainly don't mind helping out with testing. I haven't looked into it too deeply but I assume the epg data for the HD channels is on a separate mux to the SD epg data as standard DVB-T channels work fine, just DVB-T2.

Try removing freesat if test in epg.c around line 152. Think the problem is I only explicitly enabled Huffman tables for freesat module on freesat pids.

You appear to be correct. I modified eit.c so that the Huffman conversion code was not explicit to freesat and I now get epg data for the HD channels on DVB-T2. Thanks for your help, much appreciated and great to see development for TVHeadend underway again, great job.

The reason for the freesat specific bit is that they use an encoding type byte (0x1f) that's just defined as for future/private use. My concern is that use of this value is probably not globally unique, and since TVH is designed to accept many different satellite/terrestrial feeds its possible there might be a clash somewhere.

However since this is the only use I'm "currently" aware of and support, I'll possibly remove the restriction. But I'll give it some thought and see if I can't come up with some halfway house solution.

I applied the above patch and for some reason tvheadend crashed on startup. I tried a clean config and it crashed as soon as I added a mux to one of my adapters. I had a quick glance over the patch and couldn't see anything obvious but maybe you will have more luck.

Hmm, I'll have to take a better luck. I have to admit I hacked that together and didn't both to test it. So my idea of creating a "dummy" module is probably at odds with what I've actually coded in the rest of the system, probably doesn't like the NULL ptr I'm passing to some of the callbacks.

I'll have a look.

Just applied the patch and selected 'UK Freeview' OTA interface (all others de-selected) and all channels including HD channels are now receiving EPG data OTA. Brilliant job and thanks for taking a look and implementing the fix.
