Can't get DVB-S Astra (dutch) channel tuned properly

Postby blackb1rd » 30 Jul 2006 17:53

I'm struggling with this problem for many hours now but just can't get it to work. I succeed streaming CNN Int. through Astra after searching this forum, thus it's definitely working.

Let me give an example. I'd like this channel: NED1:12515:h:0:22000:517:88:4011

So I execute this command:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv --color -I dummy dvb: --dvb-satno=1 --dvb-frequency=12551500 --dvb-srate=22000000 --dvb-voltage=18 --dvb-tone=1 --program 4011 --sout-standard-access=udp --sout-standard-mux=ts :sout='#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:1234}}
But this results in the following:

Code: Select all

I guess "value too large for defined data type" has something to do with it. What am I doing wrong?[/code]

Forget it, it's unbelievable, but I just saw that the frequency isn't correct! Argh, seems to work now :)
