muxpmt

[Skinnersplace]

Hi
Does any one know if the muxpmt command works when using the command line form of VLC for windows (i.e not a linux build)

is it possible to create a single ts with multiple channels using the windows version of vlc ?

[VLC_help]

You mean

--sout-ts-muxpmt=<string> Mux PMT (requires --sout-ts-es-id-pid)
Define the pids to add to each pmt. This requires "Set PID to ID of
ES" to be enabled.

?

Hi VLC_help,

yes that is exactly what I ment.

I was told it would only work in the linux version ?

would something like the following work in windows ? :

new chan1 broadcast enabled loop
setup chan1 input "BARS.ts"
setup chan1 output #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=512}:std{access=udp,mux=,dst=127.0.0.1:8080}
setup chan1 option sout-ts-pid-audio=110
setup chan1 option sout-ts-pid-video=120
setup chan1 option sout-ts-program-pmt="100"
setup chan1 option sout-ts-sdtdesc="chan1"


new chan2 broadcast enabled loop
setup chan2 input "BARS2.ts"
setup chan2 output #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=512}:std{access=udp,mux=,dst=127.0.0.1:8081}
setup chan2 option sout-ts-pid-audio=210
setup chan2 option sout-ts-pid-video=220
setup chan2 option sout-ts-program-pmt="200"
setup chan2 option sout-ts-sdtdesc="chan2"


setup channel1 input udp://@127.0.0.1:8080
setup channel1 input udp://@127.0.0.1:8081

setup channel1 option sout-ts-tsid=1
setup channel1 option sout-ts-netid=511
setup channel1 option sout-ts-program-pmt="100,200"
setup channel1 option sout-ts-muxpmt="110,120,,210,220"
setup channel1 option sout-ts-sdtdesc="MY TV,Channel 1,MY TV,Channel 2"

setup channel1 output #rtp{mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:8082}

control chan1 play
control chan2 play
control channel1 play

I do not have --sout-ts-es-id-pid line that you mentioned, where would I insert that ?

Any help on this would be greatly appretiacted

[VLC_help]

You are running VLM? Not VLC? Because the syntax is different. What I pasted is command line option not VLC config file thingy.

Thanks for the swift reply VLC help,

I have been trying to achieve this with both vlc and vlm. what I posted was my VLM attempt as i thought it was closer to being right.

what I want to achie is to take to input files, give them unique PID's and PMT's, then mux and output them in a single transport stream so I can choose between them in the navigation menu of another copy of vlc.

Do you have a copmplete example of creating and muxing two streams from the command line in vlc ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[VLC_help]

I don't have any experience with muxing/demuxing streams with VLC. VLM is better option if you want combined stuff together.

Thanks VLC_Help,

I will look at this further in VLM.

One other question though, can you expand on the --sout-ts-es-id-pid command, I did not find much explanation of what it does in the help ?

Many thanks

it has the latest info about command line options in nightly builds. I don't have any more information available.

This now works and can be found in the "VLM to MUX two channels" thread in the VLM section
