Manually add a channel

[Mike Mike]

I love tellyserver


Is here a way to add a channel that the scan missed?

Thanks

Currently there is no way to manually add channel. A channel may be missing if the signal is weak and InstaTV-Server(AKA TellyServer) then choose to ignore it since streaming such channel will likely crash the video encoder. You can try to adjust the antenna (if you are using ATSC) and re-try the scan. We will consider adding the feature to manually edit channel in a future version.

The missing channel had a signal strength of 100%. I really don't know why the scan is not picking it.


I finally find a way to add the missing channel. I just add it in channels.db file. Now I can watch my channel.


Thanks

Yes one may edit channels.db directly. It is a sqlite DB file. However, make sure you have a copy of the edited file because a re-scan would simply overwrite previous result.
