! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Most of this software was written without support from TV manufacturers or access to any official
|
|
documentation about the file formats. It is solely based on analysing existing data files, trial and error.
|
|
There is a chance of unwanted side-effects or even damage to your TV, as reported in 2 cases.
|
|
|
|
Hisense is the only manufacturer who provided technical information and a test device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
System requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
- [Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework)
|
|
(When running under Linux, you need Winetricks, select a 32bit wineprefix and install the "dotnet48" package)
|
|
- [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328)
|
|
required to edit SQLite lists (Hisense, Panasonic, Toshiba and Samsung .zip format)
|
|
- USB stick/SD-card to transfer the channel list between your TV and PC (FAT32 file system recommended)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported TV models
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
**Samsung**
|
|
- .scm files: B (2009)*, B (2013), C, D, E, F, H, J series
|
|
- .zip files (Tizen OS): H, J, K, M, N and Q, R series
|
|
|
|
\*: The "clone.bin" format is not supported. In the "*.scm" format
|
|
the "Air Analog"-list of the 2009 B-series doesn't support all
|
|
editing features due to a lack of test files.
|
|
|
|
Instructions for transferring the channel list can be found on:
|
|
https://github.com/PredatH0r/ChanSort/wiki/Samsung
|
|
|
|
**LG**
|
|
- Series based on NetCast OS exporting a xx\*.TLL file:
|
|
CS, DM, LA, LB\*, LD, LE, LF, LH, LK, LM+, LN, LP#, LS, LT, LV, LW, LX, PM, PN, PT, UB\*
|
|
- Series based on webOS 2-5 exporting a GlobalClone00001.TLL file
|
|
|
|
\*: Some devices behave erroneously due to firmware issues.
|
|
+: See system requirements for LM-series. xxLM640T is not supported due to its firmware limitations.
|
|
\#: Only satellite channels supported.
|
|
|
|
Models with the NetCast operating system don't have the export/import function in the menu. Instead you need to press+hold the
|
|
settings button on the remote control until the settings disappear again, then enter 1105 and select the "TV Link Loader" menu.
|
|
With the latest firmware for the LM series the special "service remote control" is no longer needed, "1105" works now too.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: It is REQUIRED to select special options during the channel search on the TV. If you select a provider / country /
|
|
satellite specific list, it will be pre-ordered and your TV will behave erratic after an export+import.
|
|
Always select "none / other / all" and never your cable TV provider or something like "Astra 19.2E list" and blindscan.
|
|
|
|
**Panasonic**
|
|
Most Viera models since 2011 with a channel list formats
|
|
- svl.bin
|
|
- svl.db
|
|
|
|
**Sony**
|
|
- Android-TVs "sdb.xml" files using format "FormateVer" 1.1.0
|
|
- KDL 2012/2014 "sdb.xml" files using "FormatVer" 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 1.2.0
|
|
|
|
**Philips**
|
|
Philips uses countless incompatible file formats for various TV models.
|
|
ChanSort currently supports the formats:
|
|
- PhilipsChannelMaps\ChannelMap_45, 100, 105 and 110
|
|
- Repair\ChannelList\channellib\\\*Table and s2channellib\\\*.dat
|
|
- Repair\CM_TPM1013E_LA_CK.xml (sometimes that file is hidden and only a .bin file is visible)
|
|
|
|
**Hisense**
|
|
- Some older models like LTDN40D50TS use the same .csv files as Sharp. See "Sharp" for instructions.
|
|
- 2016 "Smart" models with a channel.db file, i.e. H65M5500
|
|
- 2017 models with a servicelist.db file
|
|
|
|
Special thanks to Hisense for supporting ChanSort with technical information and a test device!
|
|
|
|
**Toshiba**
|
|
- Models that export a .zip file containing chmgt.db, dvbSysData.db and dvbMainData.db files.
|
|
(e.g. RL, SL, TL, UL, VL, WL, XL, YL models of series 8xx/9xx)
|
|
- Models with a settingsDB.db file
|
|
|
|
**Grundig**
|
|
- Models that export files named dvb\*_config.xml.
|
|
- Models that export a cvt_database.dat file, e.g. 24 GHB 5944: see "Sharp" below
|
|
|
|
**SatcoDX (OEM for ITT, Medion, Nabo, ok., PEAQ, Schaub-Lorenz, Silva-Schneider, Telefunken)**
|
|
Various brands use the same hardware for DVB-S, which exports .sdx files
|
|
|
|
**Sharp (and some models from Dyon, Blaupunkt, Hisense, Changhong, alphatronics, JTC Genesis)**
|
|
Some of these TV share similar hardware and can export/import a .csv file allowing to change the channel order:
|
|
- DVBS_Program.csv (alongside cvt_database.dat)
|
|
- DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv (alongside dtv_cmdb\*.bin)
|
|
- MS\*_DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv (alongside MS\*_HOTELMODE_TABLE.json)
|
|
|
|
Blaupunkt B40A148TCSFHD, B32B133T2CSHD, ...
|
|
Changhong LED32E2200ST2, ...
|
|
Dyon Live 22 Pro, Live 24 Pro, ENTER 32 Pro X, ...
|
|
Hisense LTDN40D50TS, ...
|
|
Sharp LC-xxCFE4142E, LC-xxCFF6002E, LC-xxFI5542E, LC-xxFG5242E, LC-xxUI7552E, LC-xxUI7652E, xxBJ1E, xxBJ3E, xxBJ5E, ...
|
|
Grundig 24 GHB 5944
|
|
|
|
Depending on the actual TV the import/export function can be part of the regular user menu, a hotel menu or a service menu
|
|
and the exported files may be different. Some models like Sharp Aquos xxBJ1E have a sub menu for exporting. You need to
|
|
export all 4 type of files for the import to work.
|
|
To access the secret hotel / service menus, there are several possible key combinations on the remote control:
|
|
hotel menu: MENU 7906 / MENU 4588
|
|
service menu: MENU 1147 / MENU 11471147 / SOURCE 2580
|
|
Do not make any changes in the service menu, as this could damage your TV. Only use the import/export functions.
|
|
|
|
**VDR (Linux Video Disk Recorder)**
|
|
Supports the channels.conf file format.
|
|
Implementation for this was provided by TCr82 from the VDR project.
|
|
|
|
**m3u (SAT>IP)**
|
|
Supports SAT>IP .m3u files with extended information holding channel names and program numbers.
|
|
|
|
**Enigma2 (Dreambox, VU+ and many other Linux based receivers)**
|
|
Requires a local copy of the files "lamedb", "bouquets.\*" and "userbouquet.\*" from /etc/Enigma2/.
