Hi,

I try to create a VOD based on DVB-S streams.
I managed to broadcast DVB-S stream with this configuration :
test1.vlm :

Code: Select all

new France5 broadcast enabled
setup France5 input "dvb:"
setup France5 option dvb-frequency=11591000
setup France5 option dvb-srate=20000000
setup France5 option program=260
setup France5 option ts-es-id-pid
setup France5 option sout-standard-mux=ts
setup France5 option sout-standard-access=udp
setup France5 output #std{dst=192.168.1.2:1234,select="program=260"}

NB: 192.168.1.2 is the client IP
VLC command line :

Code: Select all

vlc -vv --color -I telnet --vlm-conf test1.vlm

throught Telnet, I can play this channel

Now, here my VOD configuration (which doesn't work

)

test3.vlm :

Code: Select all

new France4 vod enabled
setup France4 input "dvb:"
setup France4 option dvb-srate=20000000
setup France4 option ts-es-id-pid
setup France4 option dvb-frequency=11591000
setup France4 option programs=257
setup France4 option sout-standard-mux=ts

VLC command line :

Code: Select all

vlc -vv --color -I telnet --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 --vlm-conf test3.vlm

1- there isn't port 5554 binding with NETSTAT -na
2- vlc try to play the DVB stream without demand

I get to many messages error :

Code: Select all

[00000311] [Média: France4] dvb access debug: trying to tune the frontend...

I would to know if it is possible to use a DVB stream instead of a video file in VOD mode.

If it isn't possible, I can use a program which send signal to telnet server in order to activate/desactivate broadcast flow.

Info:
VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus on Debian

Thanks for help.

I did another test : I decided to stream a AVI movie and it worked:
my VLM config file :

Code: Select all

new France4 vod enabled
setup France4 input "/mnt/divers/partage/test.avi"

VLC command line :

Code: Select all

vlc -vv --color -I telnet --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 --vlm-conf test4.vlm

maybe I did a mistake in the syntax of VLM config for DVB streaming.

Posted: **15 Apr 2007 14:45**

as I thought, it was a mistake in the syntax :
I used this vlm config viewtopic.php?t=22247 although he had a DVB-T device

vlm config

Code: Select all

new France4 vod enabled
setup France4 input "dvb/ts:frequency=11591000:srate=20000000"
setup France4 option :program=259

The question : why the syntax between Broadcast mode and VOD mode changes ?

Conclusion :

How to configure VLC for VOD & DVB-S

myconfig.vlm

Code: Select all

new France4 vod enabled
setup France4 input "dvb/ts:frequency=11591000:srate=20000000"
setup France4 option :program=259

new France5 vod enabled
setup France5 input "dvb/ts:frequency=11591000:srate=20000000"
setup France5 option :program=260

new France2 vod enabled
setup France2 input "dvb/ts:frequency=11591000:srate=20000000"
setup France2 option :program=257

VLC server :

Code: Select all

vlc -vv --color -I telnet --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 --vlm-conf myconfig.vlm

VLC client :

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://<server address>:<port>/<channel>

example:

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://192.168.1.2:5554/France2

Nice to see that you made it on your own

Thanks

, I spend a lot of time trying to configure :
- my DVB board (Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S-Plus) under linux (I forgot to load the DVB frontend module cx88_dvb)
- a solution to stream TV (VDR doesn't work for me -> VLC)

Perhaps, I will write a tutorial which describe the WinTV-NOVA's installation and vlc configuration.

Hi,
Doesn't the latest Kernel support ?
I have the same setup, can you tell me how did you configure?
and some problems in broadcasting too many channels at once.

thanks

I compiled a 2.6.20 kernel

modules :

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep dvb

Before you compile a kernel, verify if there isn't a cx88xx module in your distribution (check in /lib/modules/<kernel>/drivers/media/dvb/ ).

Hi

Thank you for your post it help me a lot
But it work one time for me.
After a lot of search on google I don't find any good reply for

Code: Select all

Média: test] ts demuxer warning: invalid header [0xc8:2c:2d:1f] (pid: 172)

Many line like this output from vlc

I try to reinstall retest eg...

So I test to setup the vod with the telnet interface

The first line

Code: Select all

new test vod enabled

ok

but with the second line

Code: Select all

setup test input "dvb/ts:frequency=11551000:srate=30000000

Vlc output many of "ts demuxer warning: invalid header" and I have nothing on port 554

so I del all the setup and change like this

Code: Select all

new test vod enabled
setup test option :program=8098
setup test input "dvb/ts:frequency=11551000:srate=30000000"

It work perfect like this, it take the program firt.and tune the dvb

Config:

Debian Lenny
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
Sky2PC/SkyStar 2 DVB-S
Sat NSS-7 with Canal Horizon
Program 8098 is Africa24 freeTV

Now I can setup two freetv direct8 and africa24 on the same frequency and diffuse by VOD

Hope it help

Thank you

Bye
