Enigma2 and ku blindscan in NA

[el bandido]

Was that a free scan for 125? Is that how many you should get???

The freebie decompiler is all I have.

We need to figure out what we want the plugin to do, then re-write it and put it in ipk. Right now, I am working on system time/blindscan ipk for BlackHole images.

The blindscan plugin can probably be re-written to include 10750 lnb easily or pretty easy if circular lnb setting is used for 10750 lnb. Doingit this way would allow us to have One BS plugin instead of two. Currently, I am running three BS plugins for tests.

Box trype is gotten either from the enigma file or from boxbranding file. Probably just best to tell the plugin to look in boxbranding, and just send that file with the blindscan plugin. This stuff is easy to put in ipk so others can use it, but figure out what we want the plugin to do first....

Yes a free scan the last couple days it has only been scanning in 9 channels a couple of times last week it scanned in 16 channels.

No, it was not the free scan; that's about all I can get using my pizza pan dish. Haven't tried using the bud yet.

In regards to the freebie decompiler..... there isn't too much out there except commercial websites that charge 5-10 euros to decompile upto 5k scripts. There are plugins that run in Linux along with python but have never tried them.

I also have a few versions of portable python that run in windows and read the py files very well, but have no decompilers within the portables. I wonder if the plugins available for the Linux python version would work with the windows portables, just haven't had time to pursue it.

What do we want the blindscan plugin to do? (Keep in mind that the binary file supplied by VU does the actual blind-scanning.)

I configured one blindcan plugin as follows:

(1) Save a list of found transponders when doing a channel scan. I like to have a record of what was found, so I added this automatic feature.
(2) Save the found transponders lists in a hard drive folder. Doing it this way forces you to have an internal or external drive configured.
(3) C or KU scan type determined by LOF ONLY. Default uses LOF and the transponders in the sat file to determine C or Ku scan. This caused problems for Rodder and others.

Thought about:
(1) Adding other LOF frequencies for blindscan (10750,11250)
(2) Writing found transponders to the main satellites.xml file
(3) Changing the saved transponders Heading. Adding the found transponder count.

Now is the time for blind scan plugin suggestions.

The red asterisks would be a good experiment. Not necessarily in that order.

Writing directly to the satellites.xml file will be difficult for me. First to tell it t do it, and second to only add new transponders to the satellites.xml. I will look at this dead last.

10750 lnb is definitely doable, and should be added in with the universal and c band settings. 10750 will need to be used with the circular lnb setting. This will be be next to last.

Saving the found transponders during a normal blindscan has been done, But where should the saved .xml files be stored? I prefer the hard drive but the plugin will crash if a hard drive is not available. What do we do about this???

The found transponder count has been added to the .xml file. What other information do we want in our header?

Are you using the 10750 blindscan plugin?

[rodder]

yes

[el bandido]

Do not move the low frequency setting. Blindscan only using 11500, else you will lose all transponders 11850 and below..

Here is the saved .xml header:

What do we want to keep and What do we want to add or get rid of?
