I maintain my personal satellites.xml list of satellites and transponders (custom at /etc/enigma2/satellites.xml), as this is what I am used to from my non-Engima2 receiver.

 

So I wanted to know what are the possible (or recommended) ways to use satellites.xml.

 

 

1. What is recommended/possible with editing satellites.xml from PC?

 

Currently I edit satellites.xml from PC (with text-editor or XML-editor) and then reboot enigma. 

 

Can I somehow reload the satellites.xml? UI plugin, or some command via telnet, or some HTTP/Web-command, or something other?

 

Are there any PC-tools for editing satellites.xml?

 

 

 

2. Can I edit transponders in satellites.xml directly on the Box?

 

Is there any way with the UI on the box (e.g. plugin) to add/remove/change transponders in satellites.xml?

 

 

 

3. Adding transponders from blindscan to satellites.xml

 

How can I add transponders from blindscan to satellites.xml?

 

 

 

4. Lyngsat parser

 

There exists a Lyngsat parser, and I wanted to know:

Is the Lyngsat parser open-source, and if so where can I find it?

 

 

All the best!

(1) Look on the internet for enigma2 channel editors. There are plenty to choose from such as dreamboxedit.

(2) Installing ts-sateditor plugin from feeds will allow the editing of satellite transponders in the receiver.
 

(3) Transponders that are found in a blindscan are saved to a file in /tmp directory of receiver files. Easy enough to copy and paste what is found into the satellites.xml file.

(4) I do not have any information on a Lyngsat parser, but also see no reason to need it as the satellites.xml file is updated regularly. To each his own for this one.
