I'm trying to get the 0.90 nightly builds to play TV from Firedtv DVB-C card since it says DVB-C to be supported. I've searched the board alot but can't find how to do it. I also fiddled around the settings for DVB with no luck. How to do it?
This is where one channel is on my transponder.
Frequency 338000 (mhz)
Symbolrate 6875
Modulation 64 QAM
Stream ID 32
Network ID 40999
Video PID 4097
Audio PID 4353
So what settings to use in VLC to play the channel?

vlc dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=338000 :dvb-modulation=64
hopefully it works.

It doesn't work. VLC starts but just freezes. Are you sure that I should use dvb-t? Isn't that for terrestrial?
My card is a dvb-c. And what about symbolrate, shouldn't I add something about that?
And how to select channel if I got it to work? The numbers I posted in my first post for the transponder has about 8 channels on that frequency.

Sorry, it should have been
dvb-c:// :dvb-frequency=338000 :dvb-modulation=64
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=29557
has info about channel.

To specify symbolrate (not always needed) add to the command line
I'm assuming your symbolrate of 6875 is in MHz
To select a specific channel add to the command line
Code: Select all
:programs=<pid> :sout=#duplicate{dst=<dst>,select=program=<pid>}
