Important

Support for DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C channels for Neutrino is not fully implemented and has an experimental status.

Main supported lamedb format is version 4. Versions 3 and 5 has only experimental support! For version 3 is only read mode available. When saving, version 4 format is used instead.

When using the multiple import feature, from lamedb will be taken data only for channels that are in the selected bouquets! If you need full set of the data, including [satellites, terrestrial, cables].xml (current files will be overwritten), just load your data via “File/Open” and press “Save”. When importing separate bouquet files, only those services (excluding IPTV) that are in the current open lamedb (main list of services) will be imported.

The built-in Telnet client does not support ANSI escape sequences!

For streams playback, this app supports VLC, MPV and GStreamer. Depending on your distro, you may need to install additional packages and libraries.

Command line arguments:

• -l - write logs to file.
• -d on/off - turn on/off debug mode. Allows to display more information in the logs.
