VLC and DVB: no lock, tuning again

Postby dfraga » 27 Jun 2007 23:24

Hi, I'm trying to stream a sattelite channel:

Linux 2.6.21
VLC version 0.8.6c
frequency=11982
symbol rate=4500
polarization=horizontal
PIDs: channel 1: 33 (video), 34 (audio)
channel 2: 43 (video), 44 (audio)
Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 Sky2PC PCI [SkyStar2] (rev 02)

Ok. I can lock the signal using szap, so the link between me and the satellite is ok...

reading channels from file '/home/fraga/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 2 'e6':
sat 0, frequency = 11982 MHz H, symbolrate 4500000, vpid = 0x0000, apid = 0x0000
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
status 03 | signal febb | snr 71c4 | ber 00002037 | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal ffff | snr c5a6 | ber 000015f4 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal ffff | snr c630 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

But, when I try to use VLC it gives me the following:

vlc -vvv --color --ttl 12 --ts-es-id-pid --programs=33,34 dvb: --dvb-frequency=11982000 --dvb-srate=45000000 --sout udp:192.168.102.255

Oops, I found the error... I typed one zero more on symbol rate. Sorry folks. Thank you!
