MPEG TS demuxer PID selection

Posted: 16 Jun 2006 11:58

Hello all,

I've seen that for the sout module is possible to select for the TS muxer the PID for video, audio, etc... as follows

--sout-ts-pid-video
--sout-ts-pid-audio
...
all for the outgoing PIDs

Now, regarding the MPEG TS demuxer, that is the ingoing PID, is there anyway to select or tell vlc which PID corresponds to the video, audio, pcr, ...and so on?

In the longhelp I've found things like --ts-es-id-pid, but I could not find more information about it.

Any help is welcome

Thanks

This is because I'm trying to receive an MPEG-2 TS from an Harmonic encoder, and if I try to join the stream in the middle of the streaming, vlc does not recognize the PID 0 and then can not play the video (becasue does not know its PID).

On the other hand, if I start firt vlc and after I turn on the encoder, vlc works fine.

By the way, I can play the same exact stream any time using mplayer.

Any tip?
