select PMT PID in cable QAM stream?

Postby cat6man » 20 Oct 2006 03:49

i've got an application that streams a cable TV 256QAM to VLC and VLC saves the file with the following command line:

"c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" udp://@:5004 :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="D:\Media\Temp\testhd.ts"}}

the command line above starts vlc, get udp on port 5004 and saves the file in TS format.

under the navigation dropdown menu, there can be up to 12 possible programs available, corresponding to the video substreams, and they are typically numbered 1-12. if i manually select a particular program number, i can change the video substream being saved.

i'm looking for a command line option to do this directly.

the help file says you can select the PID with the following options.
anyone know how to rewrite the command line for windows to include the PID selection for cable QAM?

(windows has to change from --option value to --option="value")

TS muxer (libdvbpsi)

--sout-ts-pid-pmt <integer> PMT PID

i believe this is the proper parameter i need to set (yes??)
if so, how do i modify the command line at the top to select substream program #N?

thanks
