TVHeadend custom "DVB by Location" file location

[Sion28]

Over at lonelycoder.com, there's a great how-to for creating your dvb-by-location mux list file for configuring TVHeadend. Here's the link

The only problem is, the author assumes that TVHeadend was installed on a Linux machine in the standard way. So he refers to a folder where the custom DVB mux list needs to be placed. But this folder does not exist on my OpenELEC box. Can anyone here help me out, and figure out where I should place this file so that TVHeadend sees it and offers it up as an option in the DVB-by-location list?

Here's a quote from that page:

I was able to query my hdhomerun prime for a list of frequencies and programs. The resulting list is a file that you can stick in /usr/local/share/tvheadend/data/dvb-scan/atsc to make it available in your "Add DVB by Location" button within the TV Adapters tab of tvheadend configuration. I have attached a list for my local Comcast. This is for the Waukegan/Lake Forest Illinois area.

So I'm looking for the equivalent of /usr/local/share/tvheadend/data/dvb-scan/atsc on an OpenELEC box.

Any clues?

Thanks!

I'd like to know this as well. I've tried searching base on the files there do show and I can't see them

was anyone ever able to figure out this location?

I'm currently struggling with this

Hi, I would like to bump this thread.

I have updated my tvheadend to the latest version, and have noticed that the pre-defined ar_Argentina muxes are not listed. I have checked on an Ubuntu installation, and I was able to succesfully upload such a file to the folder:
/usr/share/tvheadend/data/dvb-scan/dvb-t/

and have tvheadend properly detect the muxes and scan for services.

I have cheked the OpenELEC installation, and was unable to find such a similar folder.
I have started to input the the information manually, but it is very cumbersome.

Can any dev enlighten us on where to save such a file to make tvheadend recognize the muxes?

Thank you

Those files do not appear to be installed in the tvheadend addon

Thanks nickr, so is it your suggestion to check with the addon developer?
If these files are not present in the addon, then they must be hard coded into the binary, as there are a bunch of muxes present when I access it's configuration.

Yes it does seem to be compiled in. I looked at the binary on my regular linux desktop and strings certainly shows my locality in the binary file:

Code:

nick@envy ~/Downloads/XBMC/service.multimedia.tvheadend/bin $ strings tvheadend|grep -i christchurch
nz-Christchurch
nz-Christchurch

You could submit a patch for your locality I guess. Or compiile your own.
