ATSC, dvbsrc, and dvbv5-scan

[Russel Winder]

I am in a DVB-T /  DVB-T2 area and cannot experiment with ATSC. A person
trying to use GStreamer in ATSC land is having huge difficulties creating a
channel file from the ATSC frequency files in the Debian dtv-scan-tables
package in the /usr/share/dvb/atsc directory.

I am unable to constructively help this person, I am just blundering:

https://github.com/Me-TV/Me-TV/issues/31

Is there anyone out there in ATSC land that has been able to run something
such as:

   gst-launch-1.0 dvbsrc uri=dab://WUPW%20TV

and can give advice to this person on how to get a suitable channels file?

Sorry that should of course have been:

   gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=dab://WUPW%20TV

and we have now got it working. Sadly dvbv5-scan issues what it claims are
errors and yet it correctly completes it's task. Also dvbbasebin and dvbsrc
issue dire warnings that appear to be errors and FIXME messages which do not
seem to affect correct execution but really frighten users being asked to
debug remotely.

I am unable to trial or test any of this ATSC stuff so what dvbbasebin and
dvbsrc need is a GStreamer person in an ATSC area with a DVB capability to do
some experimentation and make suggestions for change to the source in
gstreamer-plugins-bad. I can only do work from a DVB-T2/DVB-T perspective.

Or even:

   gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=dvb://WUPW%20TV
