Problems streaming DVB-T (VLC 0.9.8a)

[ikusat]

Hello!

I'm rather inexperienced with Linux in general, and even more so with vlc, so I might have made some very simple mistakes. My current goal is to stream incoming DVB-T signals to RTP/UDP.

OS: Fedora Core 8
VLC version: 0.9.8a, ./configure options listed below
[00000001] main libvlc debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure '--with-live555-tree=/home/test/live' '--disable-glx' '--disable-remoteosd' 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/lib/pkgconfig/'

If I am only watching the channels, there is no problem. Here are the arguments I am passing to vlc(I don't really know what the options do, but these are the values that vlc debug showed when I tuned to them using channels.conf):
dvb:// :dvb-adapter=0 :dvb-frequency=533000 :dvb-inversion=2 :dvb-fec=9 :dvb-bandwidth=6 :dvb-guard=8 :dvb-transmission=8 :dvb-hierarchy=-1

However, if I try to stream it at all(play locally, to a file, to UDP all have the same results), with the exact same arguments, it will fail, saying VLC could not open the MRT. Below is the output provided by vlc -vv after I try to run the streaming command.

Code: Select all

I tried narrowing it down to a specific program by adding :programs="101" or so at the end, and it also didn't work. The fact that it says unknown option worries me, but I'm not sure where to go from here at all. I've tried removing the arguments one by one but the error remains the same.

Additional notes which might or might not be signficant:
I am able to stream a file without any problems.
VLC playback currently has the blueberry effect(I don't plan to watch videos on the system so this isn't really problem to me, but maybe its related?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what the problem is still, however I am able to get around it by using "Open Capture Device" instead of streaming, and then just input the whole command line including the :sout stuff to it.
