Hi Fabian.
Btw. I've just published version 0.66 - it is the most stable release so far. 
I run it at my home for few months without any problems.

I want to scan the list of channels on given frequency via my library and not 
rely on dvbscan external utility.

As far as I know next JavaFX release will eventually happen in February. Then 
I'll see what to do.

I do not understand. You can use any player with dvbcentral too. That is 
obvious.
