Hello,

I need to make HTML playlist of 3 channels.

Satellite: Eutel Sat W2
Transponder:

dvb-frequency = 11596000
dvb-srate = 288000000
dvb-voltage = 13 ( Vertical )

Programs:

Kanal 8 : SID = 4, VPID = 513, APID = 660
ETV: SID = 7, VPID = 517 APID = 700
FEN TV: SID = 12 VPID = 523 APID = 760

My questions are:

- Which is the best way to stream them by multicast
- How can I create my own html web page(I can create it), and insert some vlc client starting code which will start vlc with proper [S/V/A]ID.
- Shell I use many vlc sessions for every channel
- Does every broadcast need to be on different port
- Will this page work for Amino or Kreatel BOXes
- Can I stream all transponder using --sout-all and then choose which program to watch using some special code in html/vlc script?

Hope you will share your knowledge soon.

Hi,
I am using Aminet 110H, which is STB for hospitality solutions. There is a few differences between 110 and 110H (like two ethernets ports, external ir dongle, etc) but inside is same.
We are using video server with DVB-S card (plan to use more than 1 to stream channels from various multiplexes).
VLC is running using this command :

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv --color --ttl 12 --ts-es-id-pid qpsk/ts: --dvb-frequency=12480000 --programs=46,51,32,661,897,898,899,900 --dvb-srate=27500000 --sout '#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.15:11115}, select="program=898", dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.16:11116}, select="program=899", dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.17:11117}, select="program=900", dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.18:11118}, select="program=46", dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.19:11119}, select="program=51", dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.20:11120}, select="program=32", dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=238.242.100.21:11121}, select="program=661"}'

Using Astra satellite, streaming almost all video channels from one multiplex. I didn't try to stream everything within one IP and different port, but should work.
Now I have a problem with pixelation, when stream out these 7 channels. Tried to stream 3 and no problem.
STB recieve it by command :

Code: Select all

AVMedia.Play (src=igmp://238.242.100.15:11115;servertype=mediabase);

Hope this help. Any question?

Robert

Have you checked how much bandwith you are using (CPU, network) ?
I can imagine some packets might be getting out of order.

Bandwith is about 20Mb/s and CPU load average is 0,7. It realy looks some pakets lost, but I don't know it is the DVB-S card (Skystar 1) or VLC problem.
I assume there is nothing wrong with other components ( like a 1Gb switch 3com ES-3024, etc.), because we use it for VOD (http://www.nec-talia.com/). Will try a different DVB card.
