Same effect if the file is stored on a local drive?

Usually DBox's don't have Hard-Drives :D

But I localized the Problem:
according to other sources the problem is as follows:

TS-Streams from Neutrino (Linux-OS on the Dbox) don't have "PMT"-Info
(PMT="Program Table") because if so the stream would be overloaded with garbage i.e. it would contain all EPG-Info from other programs too.
Therefore PMT is not included and filtering would be too much effort.
Hence the stream is not conform with MPEG.

Simple answer: VLC refuses to work with non-conformal streams

Unfortunately I cannot find hints in the VLC debug window that there is an error.
Comparing with a MPEG-conformal stream shows "PMT Callback" or something.

Since I am not a programmer and I am not familiar with MPEG I cannot give advises.

May be it is possible to patch a dummy-PMT into the TS-stream.

Thomas.

Hehe, Joker

my question obtained to this conclusion.
This file lay on my NAS and i want open it over WLan with VLC.
How do u stream the .ts files? Which Engine? udrec? Theres more than one way to grab

/etc/services
# Local services
streamsec 31335/tcp
streamavpes 31336/tcp
streamps 31337/tcp
streampes 31338/tcp
streamts 31339/tcp
udpstreampes 31340/tcp
udpstreampes 31341/udp


Grabbing works fine with VLC, take a look at this topic viewtopic.php?t=13395&highlight=wmcommand


btw, i know what a dbox is :roll:

hi,

i use the record function of neutrino which files the ts-stream direct to a nfs-mount
it's the simplest way to me since those ts-streams could be played with neutrino's movieplayer
in case that i want to play those stored ts-streams on my pc i have to use tools which are tolerant to neutrino's ts-streams.

thank you for the url's and have a merry christmas too!

Thomas.
