satellites.xml creator - if one doesn't have one's area already catered for!!!

I am not an expert, just an enthusiast and I have never done this from scratch but some guys need some help...

Info is here:

https://www.lyngsat.com/ - pick a region and study what you need...

XML creator is here:

http://satellites-xml.org/

Set your co-ordinates.

This tab will create a custom satellites.xml file containing all satellites above the horizon at your location.

Pick the satellites.

This tab will create a custom satellites.xml file containing all satellites selected below.

All, Clear, Inverse, add Europe, add Atlantic, add America, add Asia, remove Ku-band, remove C-band

Create xml file - you have several ways, one will suit your needs, like...

Extra options

Band: Both

Transponders: All (including inactive)

System: Both

Encoding: ISO-8859-1

When done chosing > press > Download satellites.xml > there, now, better?:saint:

One even has this option:

Enigma2 settings converter

Convert your Enigma2 settings for full compatibility with our satellites.xml. Settings file must be in .zip or .rar format.

Done!

P.S. I'm attaching here an Asian satellites xml file from 180E - 42E, made by "Between limits" tab...

To mess with it I used 2 satellites editors: DreamSet and DB Edit.

Just one example of possibilities in DB Edit:

Start DreamBox Edit > Open > choose satellites.xml file you just created > FIle > Save As (lamedb5) > choose a folder > OK.

Tools > Update satellites.xml... > I got a message "2187 existing transponders..."

Tools > Edit satellites.xml > mess with transponders if you must...

The results of what I have done are in the second file attached here...

Another way to edit those lists is by using Notepad++ (freeware for Linux and Windows!).

I presume it is easier to create Favs etc. using DreamSet editor...

Good luck!

That is included in the post above, Jones...
