It will take 6-8 weeks to get to Oz and a bit more time unpacking at that end so I'll be out of action for a while yet. One of my motivations for writing the dvb module was to provide a more versatile capture engine for Webscheduler providing more options for streaming and transcoding. Am I right i...

I am in the process of moving house and my media PC is in pieces ... Ken, Where are you? :wink: Haven't heard from you for about 3 weeks now. With Terry's help I'm so close to finally streaming something at reasonable quality - and you're probably still up to your eyebealls unpacking boxes! The joy...

If you wind your way through this thread, you'll see there's an option for picking one program and one program from the stream; http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=35357 It fgoes something like: :programs=<program pid> :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=<your host ip>:<yo...

I have transcode as necessary, not always. Could be an issue, I also use screen size of 640 x 480, but I do not think that is an issue. Yeah, I transcode when needed too. I have an iPod and use aac encoding that TVersity transcodes when I play my music library at home. I agree that the screen size ...

D'oh! Dopey me! :oops: Can't even get the command line right. Thanks to your help I finally have got VLC to stream something to the DSM. Interestingly I tried DIV3 as you suggested and, while I could get graphedit to render it and I could play it locally using TVersity on the PC, the DSM wouldn't pl...

I must be holding my tongue the wrong way! :evil: I can't get graphedit to accept ANYTHING I send from VLC. I can render internet video in it, like http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/tv/mediawatch/mediawatch_2007_ep22.wmv perfectly. But download and try to stream the same thing from VLC and graphedit just ...

My, you have been busy! Thanks for all the great info. One thing I don't understand is why transcode to WMV2 to feed TVersity which (I think) transcodes it back to mpeg to feed the DSM (which doesn't do WMV)? Or is that simply to work with the mmsh protocol?

... a second version of VLC8.6c as per my initial post of a week or 2 ago on dual core Pentium D950 (3.4ghz). Works well enough but just seems somewhat inefficient and does max out my system on decent transcode bit rates, have to scale it down a bit with scale=0.625 as well to ensure HD channels as...

Terry, This is great stuff! :D I've been trying for over 2 years to stream my Fusion dvb-t card to the DSM-320. So, if I understand correctly, you are saying that you need to use the nightlies (VLC 9 which have DVB-T support) to stream to VLC 8.6c to stream (using mmsh) to TVersity to serve the DSM-...

The part of the magic that's not happening is, I think, a broader VLC issue in that the only thing that will pick up the URL I'm streaming is VLC. My mediaserver won't recognise the http URL. It will recognise it if I use mmsh - but nothing streams. :( Graphedit won't accept either URL. :( But VLC ...

When you do everything will magically happen With all your help I've got all that part of the magic happening with my DVB-T card, even filtering to one channel in the transport stream and streaming that. :D The part of the magic that's not happening is, I think, a broader VLC issue in that the only...

Try instead :programs=<program pid> :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=<your host ip>:<your port>},select="program=<program pid>"} Note that programs is plural and you can select multiple programs (comma separated). Thanks KenS, that worked a treat. :D I'm now down to one vid...

If all goes well I should be able to submit the patch tomorrow. Well done KenS. Let's hope all goes well! :D And thanks for the streaming command line. In streaming to my media player (DLink DSM-320), I need to filter the ts stream for an individual program id as the DSM doesn't do 1080i high-defin...

Its only live viewing where the audio stream seems to be falling behind causing large chunks to be dropped. This mightn't be much help but I found some VLC help (looks Linux based) at http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch09.html . It's got some command line options that might help (but ...

I dumped the stream to file then immediately started another vlc instance to read the dump file and this too worked ok. Strangely when I dump the stream to file the audio works perfectly! :shock: I've only tried this with a couple of channels (the one that gave the fewest and the one that gave the ...

Is there any way to save one channel only to a file instead of the whole TS ? I think this is where the program=program-id option comes in - but you'' need to know the program-id. Check the "messages" in display mode. I think the program-id's are listed when the ts stream is initially ide...

Thanks Ken. I had tried reading the help info and tried copying the stream command from the GUI version (which had "sout" to a "url" which was a file destination) but that didn't work so I was stuck. I'll be intrigued if, as I think has been said before, that the file plays OK. M...

Interestingly, I dumped the stream to file then immediately started another vlc instance to read the dump file and this too worked ok. Sorry to be horribly inept but I'm new to the command line stuff. What does the command line look like to re-direct to file? Like Lotesdelere, the video looks OK (o...

I've found on my computer that it works slightly better on my PC with no delay vlc dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=219500 :dvb-bandwidth=7 sout=#duplicate{dst=display} but the audio is still crappy. How can I designate that it's AC3 audio or MP2 audio or to use a filter that will process one or both of thos...

Better to use ProjectX than VLC for vob to ts conversion. It's free too.

Here's my results so far: - Audio is my biggest issue but that may be because it finds a number of audio devices including my bluetooth device and (I'm guessing here) trying to output to too many devices? Can I stipulate one with an "aout" switch? - Video gets lots of "PTS out of rang...

I'm going to download the nightly to test it over the weekend but I've never tried the command line approach before. I gather from all of the above that an appropriate command line looks something like: vlc dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=219500 :dvb-bandwidth=7 sout=#duplicate{dst=display} :sout-display-de...

Well done Ken! 8) I've been waiting for over 18 months now to hear of some movement on VLC streaming DVB-T. I'm looking to use it to stream TV to my media player (DSM-320) - it's possible to do but there's just no software out there to do it under Windows. :( Thanks from all of us who have been wait...

Just for my 2 cents worth, I have noticed that the WDM capture card device (mines a DVICO Fusion) requires "good" software to make it work well. While I don't know the "techy" aspects, I have used my capture card with a myriad of software (mostly OEM) for vastly varying results. ...

Unfortunately HDTVPump does indeed stop Nero7 doing what I want it to do. After I installed HDTVPump, the next time I re-booted, NeroVision4 (in the Nero7 suite) wouldn't accept my ts files to convert to mpeg. De-registered HDTVPump, re-booted, and all was well again. I've got to re-install it again...
