Hello,
I finally installed a satellite board (Hauppauge WinTv Nexus-s) under linux and I can view satellite flow after that I downloaded vlc 0.8.2 version.
Now I want to stream this flow in my multicast network using vlc.
So I tried these commands:

-From http://videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch09.html
vlc -vvv --color --ttl 12 --ts-es-id-pid --programs=8508,8505 dvb --dvb-frequency=11739000 --dvb-srate=27500000 --dvb-voltage=13 --sout-standard-access=udp --sout-standard-mux=ts --sout
'#duplicate{dst=std{url=10.0.0.8},select="program=8508",dst=std{url=10.0.0.9},select="program=8505"}'

The output is

VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--dvb-frequency=11739000'
Try `vlc --help' for more information

-From http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/VideoLA'#dupl ... /x818.html
vlc --program 8211 dvb:12597000:0:3:27500000 --sout udp:192.168.0.12 --ttl 12

The output is

[00000244] main input error: no suitable access module for `dvb:12597000:0:3:27500000'
[00000237] main playlist: nothing to play

Please someone can help me to solve this problem???????????????

Thank you in advance

I have another question.

Are you sure that vlc can stream satellite flow?

thank you

I suspect your VLC or linux kernel was not compiled with DVB support.

I compiled vlc with
./configure --enable-dvb --enable-v4l

Moreover I dowloaded right driver for my card, I hope, from
http://www.linuxtv.org/cvs.php

What do you think?

make sure your vlc has the dvb module and i'm not sure dvb-frequency is a general option may-be just an input option so hth

Hello xtophe,
Why don't you make sure that my vlc has the dvb module?

I have typed the command and this is the output

root@multi3:~# vlc --list |grep dvb
VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
mux_ts TS muxer (libdvbpsi)
dvbsub DVB subtitles decoder
dvbsub DVB subtitles encoder

What do you think?

Regards

I think it wasn't compiled with it's DVB input module

Hi The dj,
please can you explain me what I have to do to compile (vlc) with it's DVB input module?
So I can say you if I did it.

Thank you

Hello,
I have a question.
Below you can see what libreries I installed to use vlc.

a52dec-0.7.4-i486-3sl.tgz libdvdnav-CVS20050215-i686-1jto.tgz
faac-1.24-i486-1kjz.tgz libebml-0.7.4-i486-1ahl.tgz

But I think that I need of the libdvb-0.2.2.tar.gz library.
I try to install it from http://www.videolan.org/streaming/downl ... urces.html
but when I install it using make and make install command the output is:

Please DJ can you help me?

Hello
I installed vlc under Fedora to view satellite flow but the problem is the same.
But now the output of vlc --list |grep dvb is

VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
mux_ts Muxer TS (libdvbpsi)

What do you think?

What do you think?

I got dvb streaming to work - but I had to compile my own client.

I am using Fedora Core 3 on this box. Fedora don't supply any DVB tools. I force installed an RPM meant for Suse to to get the tools - and they work, so I knew the card was working as I could get sensible results from dvbscan. (Which you need to run anyway to get the PID numbers).

I had some problem compiling VLC for DVB support as configure couldn't find the required kernel include files. I ended up doing the awful hack of symlinking
ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1381_FC3/build/include/linux/dvb /usr/include/linux
so that the vlc configure process could find the DVB header files. I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea - especially since at some point in the future ill remove the obsolute 2.6.12-1.1381 rpm and break the symlink...

After many hours of 'suffering' I did eventually manage to recieve a DVB-T signal, split 3 channels off the multiplex and multicast stream them to different multicast groups.

Hello!

I have problem with vlc-0.8.2 and dvb module

if I try It is OK.
But if I try I have Fulll list here
What I wrong doing?

Hello!

I find in source VLC 0.8.2 file linux_dvb.c:
uncorrect support C-BAND for LNB

I take file linux_dvb.c from VLC 0.8.4 and replace in source VLC 0.8.2
recompile, and work correctly

Thank you for attention.
