|
! 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 4.6 or later](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework)
|
|
- [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)
|
|
- Some LG models require a special service remote control to access the import/export functions (see Wiki for details)
|
|
|
|
Supported TV models
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
**Samsung**
|
|
.scm files: B (2009)*, B (2013), C, D, E, F, H, J series
|
|
.zip files: H, J, K, M, N and Q, R series
|
|
Lists: Air analog, Air digital, Cable analog, Cable digital,
|
|
Cable Prime, Sat digital, Astra HD+, Freesat, TivuSat,
|
|
Canal Digital Sat, Digital+, Cyfra+
|
|
|
|
\*: 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. If you have such a file,
|
|
please send it to me.
|
|
|
|
Instructions for transferring the channel list can be found on:
|
|
https://github.com/PredatH0r/ChanSort/wiki/Samsung
|
|
|
|
**LG**
|
|
Series: CS, DM, LA, LB\*, LD, LE, LF, LH, LK, LM+, LN, LP#, LS, LT, LV, LW, LX, PM, PN, PT, UB\*
|
|
Lists: Analog TV, DTV (DVB-C, DVB-T), Radio (DVB-C/T), Sat-DTV (DVB-S2), Sat-Radio (DVB-S2)
|
|
|
|
\*: 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.
|
|
|
|
Other models might also work, but have not been tested. If you have a .TLL file of a series not listed here, please send it to me.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Support for WebOS 5 is currently experimental. Users reported issues when importing a list back - even without modifying it with ChanSort.
|
|
It may be neccessary to reset the TV to factory defaults to clear its channel list before a list can be imported from USB.
|
|
|
|
**Panasonic**
|
|
Viera models with an svl.bin or svl.db channel list (most models since 2011)
|
|
|
|
**Sony**
|
|
Android-TVs "sdb.xml" files using formats "FormateVer" 1.1.0 and KDL 2012/2014 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 3 different formats:
|
|
- PhilipsChannelMaps\ChannelMap_xxx\channellib\DVBC.xml, DVBT.xml and s2channellib\DVBS.xml
|
|
- Repair\CM_TPM1013E_LA_CK.xml (sometimes that file is hidden and only a .bin file is visible)
|
|
- Repair\ChannelList\channellib\\*Table and s2channellib\\*.dat
|
|
|
|
**Hisense**
|
|
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)
|
|
