satellites.xml

[knifeparty]

Hello !


Im using Pli imagem and i would like to know if the correct place to put the file Satellites.xml is in /var/etc ?

[satman]

been a while since i answered a question like this, but that would be correct as far as i remember. you can only write to /var usually.
and either be /etc or somewhere in tuxbox folder

what are the satellite.xml for please i am trying to learn more about dm boxes thank

The satellites.xml file (which definately lives in /var/etc) is used when carrying out a Service Scan

Cheers- AL

open it in wordpad and you will see.
holds all the frequancys you want to scan.
your box doesnt use it if you have a cable or terrestrial tuner.

edit in wordpad, delete all the sats you dont scan, and you get nice faster scanning

OUCH! Edit in Wordpad (or Notepad) for a Linux file? Are you serious?

Usually a recipe for disaster, when ediring xml and/or script files for linux, in my eight years experience...

Do yourselves a BIG favour, and use a PROPER text editor like Notepad++ which is Freeware. It will save you so much aggro when editing these types of linux files, trust me...

Yes indeed. If I was joking i would say,,,, a horse walks into a bar,, barman says why the long face

wordpad is fine it wont/shouldnt screw the formatting.
your correct though notepad will not. ( it will put formatting on it )
however, if you want a real linux edit ultraedit is by far the best

further to above,, silly me, it would seem wordpad since vista has been wordpad2 or wordpad+
(yet it still called wordpad),, and it is fine for open and edit linux files.

seems original wordpad in xp is just like notepad and no good.

Guess who is still on XP? Yep, me. I was just trying to warn you guys about editing linux files in a Windoze environment, that was all. Cannot remember the number of times I've done this, and ended up tearing my hair out..

As far as I know, it's to do with 'word wrap' being switched on in Wordpad / Notepad (possibly by M$ default). This puts a hidden EOL character on each line, which linux/neutrino/enigma doesn't understand.

So if it's a .sh script you're working with, it won't work under linux. Nor will an xml file. Corrupted...

It's good to share knowledge, innit? Cheers- AL

HeHe, me who still has about 300 machines to upgrade at work from xp > 7 should have remembered. lets say its been a while since i even tried editing a linux file in windows.
Sharing knowledge is what brings to me great sites like this in the first place
