==Service Interface==
* since 0.0.5-pre12 supports wirbelscan a service interface, so that external plugins remotely control each feature of wirbelscan. For details see [http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/wirbelscan/SERVICES.html SERVICES.html]. So far tzhe following is supported:
** Ask Plugin Version and Service API
***''NOTE:''Service API Version of wirbelscan and external Plugin have to fit.
** Commands
***Start Scan
***Stop Scan
***store setup
** Actual status information
***Scanning/Stopped/Busy
***Name of DVB device used
***Progress in % of predefined transponders
***Signal strength as reported by dvb device
***Actual transponder
***sum count channels
***count new channels
**Set and query all setup parameters
**query known country IDs and Names
***ID (ATSC/DVB-C/DVB-T)
***short name
***full Name
**query known satellites, IDs and Names
***ID (DVB-S/S2)
***short name
***full name

a sample plugin is [http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/wirbelscan/vdr-servdemo-0.0.1.tgz here]. To use the service API an ''#include "../wirbelscan/wirbelscan_services.h"'' should be done.

    • DVB-T

Notes

  • the plugin is able to work without channels (channels.conf 0 bytes)

    • DVB-T ~ 3 min
    • DVB-C ~ 25 min (symbolrate=AUTO, QAM=AUTO)
    • DVB-C ~ 4,5 min (symbolrate=6900, QAM=64)
    • DVB-C ~ 5 min (symbolrate=6900, QAM=256)
    • DVB-S ~ 30 min (Astra 19,2E)
    • pvrinput ~ 5min
  • if DVB-C symbolrate and modulation ('QAM') are known and defined in settings, the scan can be speed up
  • signal quality influences scan time and probability to find all channels
  • some DVB cards need explizit Inversion setting: try "AUTO/OFF" and "AUTO/ON"
