I already did. should I have had any kind of reply?

Thanks,

Hi, Below is the patch I created. It was made against VLC 0.9.8a, but applies OK against VLC 0.9.9a too, I haven't tested it against anything more recent. Thanks, Lou diff -urN --exclude 'Make*' vlc-0.9.8a.orig/modules/access/dvb/access.c vlc-0.9.8a/modules/access/dvb/access.c --- vlc-0.9.8a.orig/mo...

Yes, you're right

I'd forgotten that I'd patched VLC to work with the new S2 API! I'd better rework my patch to change the rolloff from AUTO to 35.

I should add that I'm happy to share this small patch if anyone is interested.

Cheers,

Lou

Hi, I use VLC to tune and then stream dvb adapters in a Linux server. When tuning a DVB-S2 adapter one needs to specify the rolloff factor so that the driver can then set it. This seems to be unsupported, I've looked at the VLC command line help: http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help but se...

I have the same problem, I don't think it's a configuration issue, I think it's a problem with dvblast.

Has anyone used the latest version of dvblast successfully?

Well, I fixed it using the latest VLC. My problem was twofold, the VLC syntax was wrong and I had a small network problem which meant that even when it was working, the stream wasn't getting out into the main network so I didn't realise it was working :) My command line is: vlc -vvv pvr:///dev/video...

You don't need the frequency in the conf file, the format is explained here:

http://svn.videolan.org/filedetails.php ... %2FINSTALL

Also, is the qam setting correct? The default is qam_auto but not all cards support auto setting.

So you can play the hdpvr with a different program? I don't think that warning is a problem, but the error might be problematic. Try restarting the hdpvr, sometimes they need that. Make sure you've got all the requisite modules installed. I've got it running on .8.6h...i've never tried .9 or 1.0 Th...

I recently learnt of dvblast, and it seems a very useful utility so I thought I'd try it out. I have a variety of DVB adapters available to test with but so far I have no joy in making it work. I'm using dvblast 1.0 with command line: ./dvblast -c /root/chans -a 0 -f 11954000 -v 18 -s 27500000 -m qp...

I noticed that there is a new release of VLC so thought I'd try it and see if it helps, unfortunately I'm no closer but I do get some different warnings and errors: [root@CS]# vlc -vvv pvr:///dev/video0 --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.31.32.32:1234}' VLC media player 1.0.0 Goldeneye [0x8...

What processes are using the CPU and memory, is it VLC, a driver task or something else?
What version of VLC are you using?

Windows or Linux? Under linux with the V4L drivers, this is a pretty simple task at the command line something like: vlc -vvv /dev/dvb/adapter0 --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.16.0.32:1234}' I guess a similar command should work under windows, but I don't use it so can't give you an exam...

We do something similar with VLC under linux. You'll probably need to have one instance of VLC for each stream you want to broadcast. As for CPU loading, I can't really tell you very much without knowing what hardware you're using, but we use Intel Xeon processors and have no problem serving 6 or ev...

Well, I tried the suggested command but I'm not having much luck. [root@CS ~]# vlc -vvv pvr:// :pvr-device=/dev/video0 --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.16.0.32:1234}' VLC media player 0.9.9a Grishenko [00000001] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - version 0.9.9a Grishenko - (c) 1996-200...

If anyone has a command line they can share to get this working I'd be really grateful, so far I've not had much luck!

Cheers,

Lou

Hi,

I'm having the same problem viewtopic.php?f=13&t=58274

I did search before posting my question but clearly not quite well enough!

I guess maybe the VLM interface doesn't support the same features as the command line.

Cheers,

Lou

Hi all, I hope someone can help me understand the strange behaviour I'm seeing when trying to transcode internet audio streams from the BBC. The following command line is successful on my FC5 system, with vlc 0.9.8a. vlc -vvv http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1_hi.asx --no-sout-video --sou...
