I have a Tuner PCI Card "TechniSat SkyStar2" on my Linux OS. I am able to get to watch the Transport Stream with mplayer by /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0.
I start mplayer with

Code: Select all

mplayer -vo aa -ao null - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

Now I would like to get the Transport Sream with VLC. How can I do that?
I already try to open /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 with the Video4Linux method for opening the file.
Should I install a specific DVB module?

did you try vlc dvb:///dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 ?
(check "vlc -p dvb --advanced" for help information about the dvb access plugin ... and check the streaming how to on http://www.videolan.org/doc/, chapter 9)

did you try vlc dvb:///dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 ?

Yes off course.
I tried

Code: Select all

vlc dvb:/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

and

Code: Select all

vlc v4l:/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

but vlc say nothing to play

Mark: I don't want send a command with VLC (like --dvb-frequency=11739000 --dvb-srate=27500000...) I just want read a Transport Stream in /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

I don't. Sorry. (You could try sending an email to vlc@videolan.org ... those usually get a bit more of answers for Linux related questions)

I try an other method but I still have a problem.

Code: Select all

$cat /dev/dvb/adapert0/dvr0 > toto.ts

And after I try to read the toto.ts file but with VLC it is not working.

Code: Select all

$vlc ./toto.ts

Mplayer is able to read it though.

Code: Select all

$mplayer ./toto.ts

Can somebody help me?
