Input error with Nova-T and VLS under SuSE 9.1

[drouetn]

Hi,

I'm trying to get VLS and/or VLC working to stream DVB-T from a Nova PCI card, ideally to an Amino STB.

I've managed to get the DVB drivers working under SuSE 9.1 using the v2.17 firmware and I'm able to capture video using dvbstream with no problems. However, I'm unable to stream using VLS. I get the following errors when I issue the command to stream:

As I said I've tried also with VLS (0.7.2 and the latest SVN version but that also gives errors). I think I'll post a separate entry in the VLC group to cover that.

I'm aware that the plan for VLS is to move the functionality into VLC, but the streaming howto suggests that this is still experimental. Is this still the case?

Thanks

Nick
