Piping a .ts stream to vlc

[Guest]

Hi.

What I would like to do is somthing like this:

Code: Select all

mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

or

Code: Select all

xine stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

and then use VLC to stream the data to a 2nd PC
I have a dvb card that it seems is not supported by VLC and so using the linuxtv tools to tune the device and sending the stream to vlc seems an easy solution but... It kind of works, but no matter what I try VLC seems to think it is getting a DVD...

If VLC can't do this does anyone know something that can?

thanks
