	Me TV - Digital television viewer for GNOME (features)
	===========================================

	Channel DB location < me-tv 1.0.1
	=================================
(https://answers.launchpad.net/me-tv/+faq/1170)
From version 1.0.1 of Me TV the channel DB location has changed from ~/.me-tv to ~/.local/share/me-tv/


	import/export channels
	======================
-	Ex. 1, get new list of channels 
(http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/w_scan, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/dvb-utils)

run:	w_scan -f s -c DE -s S19E2 -X  >> me-tv.channels.conf

if error: "Ungültige Bytefolge", die im Format ISO-8859 vorliegende channels.conf 
in das UTF-8 Format konvertieren [2]:
iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 ./channels.conf > ./channels_new.conf 

Import the new list in me-tv 
	(/Ansicht/Senderliste bearbeiten/Hinzufügen/channels.conf importieren)

Done, 
changed list is found in: /media/sda6/gerd/.local/share/me-tv/me-tv.db (sqlite-DATA-format)


-	First thing, open a terminal and enter the following (from 1.) on the 
source PC, then copy the channel.sql to the target PC and then 
(from 2.) to import your channels.
(https://answers.launchpad.net/me-tv/+faq/1193)

1. sqlite3 ~/.local/share/me-tv/me-tv.db ".dump channel" > channel.sql
2. sqlite3 ~/.local/share/me-tv/me-tv.db < channel.sql

1. will export channels, 2. will import channels. Of course, you can
 always just copy the database file.

NOTE: ensure that you do not have Me TV running when doing this!


	How do I get HD channels working smoothly?
	==========================================

You need to increase the buffer size of the input stream. This will have the unfortunate side effect of increasing the time to change channels and hence not included by default.

The easiest way to increase the buffer size is to write these 3 lines to ~/.me-tv/xine.config (if it does not exist create a new file),

video.output.xv_deinterlace_method=linearblend
 engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:500
 engine.buffers.video_num_buffers:1000

You may need to tweak these numbers depending on your setup.
