Looking at the source code for Eepg it's not
looking for the Freeview private data descriptor tag 0x0000233a.
Does anyone know where I could find
information on
Freeview descriptors?
Would they be the same as Freesat?
I doubt they would be the same, but perhaps http://deadpenguin.org/svn/dp/trunk/src/core_si.c is a
start for you
to investigate from?
You probably need to get hold of a copy of the DTG
D-Book
to get actual documentation of the private data descriptors.
The Freeview private data descriptor I referred to above came from the Deadpenguin developer website. Unfortunately Deadpenguin does not appear to use the Freeview private data descriptor.
The D-Book is THE reference, but £10000 is rather steep for access to technical data.
Are there any applications or libraries that can analyse DVB streams and list the descriptors?
Dvbsnoop shows the compressed epg data is in the event descriptor of the transport stream EIT. I should have realised earlier if I had run VDR without the Eepg plugin and seen the gibberish epg for Freeview HD channels was still there.
I'll try creating an issue on the Eepg plugin page of the VDR Projects website.
