Hi...
I am trying to stream dvb-t channels, so I tried this as input:

dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8

and encode it using h.264
but I got error:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8'. Check the log for details.

I also tried:
dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :program=1

but I also got this error
When I try to play just dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :program=1 it plays.
What am I doing wrong?
thank you...

and I forgot the complete line:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=10.168.4.3:8080}}

Can you Open those?

yes...when I open
dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :program=1

it plays without problem...

anyone?
did anyone managed any kind of dvb-t streaming?

Someone else reported the same problem here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50181

How can I report bug? or it is this forum for it?

Use trac for bug reports.

The dvb module is a linux module. On windows, you would need dshow or you will need to develop a DBA module for VLC mediaplayer, that can use windows DBA api to access DVB devices.

BDA already is on 0.9.x

here are some more debug information:

main warning: no access module matching "dvb-t" could be loaded
main debug: TIMER module_Need() : 1.000 ms - Total 1.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 1.000 ms)
main error: open of `dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8' failed: could not create access

ok...I managed to stream something with help from people on irc
but still got problem
I cannot change channel
lets say :program=2 is not working

--program=<integer> Program
Choose the program to select by giving its Service ID. Only use this
option if you want to read a multi-program stream (like DVB streams
for example).
--programs=<string> Programs
Choose the programs to select by giving a comma-separated list of
Service IDs (SIDs). Only use this option if you want to read a
multi-program stream (like DVB streams for example).

does programs work any better?

I cannot change channel
lets say :program=2 is not working

The Program number must be the Service PID number, also known as SID.

ok...but why does it work when you try to play it without streaming?

So you only get ParsePath error when you add streaming options?

thank you...

I use this one for streaming freq 714 Mhz with 5 PID's,you can change the --programs= x,x,x to --program=x, and also the transcode options as I stream with a very low bitrate.

vlc dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=714000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 --programs=102,101,103,111,217 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=200,scale=0.25,acodec=mp4a,ab=16,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ps,dst=:8080}}


running VLC with http to the IP port 8080 opens op ALL streams in individual windows..

Hi...
Is there any way to get this streams separated?
I am using this command with 0.98a

vlc dvb-t://frequency=522000:bandwidth=8 --programs=1,2,3 :sout=#transcode{vcodec="h264",vb="600",scale="0.3",acodec="mp4a",ab="64",channels="2"}:std{access="http",mux="ts",dst="10.168.4.3:1231"}:sout-all

and I get all tree channels...
but I want only one...
and I want all channels to be recoded, so that I can select only one channel and transfer it...this way I am using more bandwith

thank you..

Try adding including the comma and quotes
as described here
Note - bda commands are slightly different from linux dvb but you have those already
