DVB-T MRL program #

[snaselj]

Hi,

is there a way to specify program # in MRL? I'm trying to control vlc over DBUS, but I can't open a specific dvb channel, vlc always displays the first channel in any multiplex.

When I run VLC with arguments:
vlc --live-caching=300 dvb-t://frequency=730000000:bandwidth=8:adapter=0 --program 258
... the correct dvb channel is displayed.

When I try to specify program (DVB channel) # in MRL:
vlc --live-caching=300 dvb-t://frequency=730000000:bandwidth=8:adapter=0:program=258
... the first dvb channel is displayed.

Can you help me please?

Thank's in advance,
Hany.

I don't think MPRIS has provisions for passing parameters. You would need a VLC-specific D-Bus interface that does not exist yet.

I think MPRIS D-Bus interface is good enough. I can play first channel in multiplex by calling:

org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.OpenUri("dvb://frequency=730000000:bandwidth=8:adapter=0")

But I couldn't find, how to specify channel number.

So, is there any way, how to specify dvb channel number (or vlc program name) inside the URI? For example like this:

dvb://frequency=730000000:bandwidth=8:adapter=0:channel=258

If not, should I open new feature request for this?

Thanks.

You cannot pass VLC options in an URL. The program number is no exception.
