Cannot save a stream to local file

Hello,

I use VLC on a Linux machine, but this issue may not be Linux related, thus I ask here.

Using this command I can very well watch DVB-C:

Code: Select all

cvlc dvb-c:// --dvb-frequency=370000000 --dvb-c-modulation=256QAM --dvb-srate=6900000 --program 28006 --dvb-adapter=0 --no-video-title-show --no-overlay --no-video-on-top
But, when I try to save the stream by adding --sout=file/ts:test.ts to the command line above, I only get a zero byte file test.ts.

Why does --sout=file/ts:test.ts not work? TS is the correct muxer.

Thanks a lot for any hint.

Thanks for providing this link!
The suggested workaround works well.

I installed VLC-beta 3.0 and saving MPEG-TS streams works now!
