DVB-S streaming trouble

[cMex]

Hi!
I have trouble when try to stream out DVB-S content. Trouble is:

Code: Select all

[00000245] dvb access warning: no lock, tuning again [00000245] dvb access debug: using inversion=2 [00000245] dvb access debug: using fec=9 [00000245] dvb access debug: using voltage=13 [00000245] dvb access debug: using tone=1 [00000245] dvb access debug: frontend has acquired signal [00000245] dvb access debug: frontend has acquired carrier

But szap tells:

Code: Select all

sat:~/.szap# szap -n 12 -x reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf' zapping to 12 'Nile': sat 0, frequency = 12539 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x049d, apid = 0x049e using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 01 | signal 8e6d | snr 72e1 | ber 0000fff0 | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal acd1 | snr 919e | ber 0000fff0 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

vlc compiled:
./configure --enable-dvb --enable-dvbpsi --enable-ffmpeg --disable-dvd --disable-mad --disable-skins2 --disable-wxwidgets --enable-libmpeg2

dvb_core was already recompiled with dvb_shutdown_timeout=0,

streaming command is:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv --color --ts-es-id-pid --programs=1181,1182 dvb: --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-frequency=12539000 --dvb-srate=27500000 --sout udp:192.168.30.29

Thanks for attention.

There is a full log:

If I use --dvb-voltage=18 for horizontal polarisation (because of channel H-polarised) there are another errors:

And one more: when I trying to play with mplayer this - dvbstream -c 1 -f 12539 -p H -s 27500 1181 1182 -o >test.mpg, it'a all right.

[kmf31]

Did you test to simply view DVB-S with vlc (and not yet streaming) ?

Did you equally test to stream with some mpeg-file as source (and not DVB-S) ?

Actually, I would believe that you should include the live555 library when compiling vlc in order to be able to stream (but I am not 100% sure if simple udp-streaming requires this, certainly rtsp-streaming requires this library).
In any case, for the moment your ./configure options do not include live555.

In short you must test if your problem is either with DVB-S support or with streaming support in VLC.


PS: Obey to the error messages: do not run vlc as root!! Run vlc as a normal user.

Will test today.

Did you equally test to stream with some mpeg-file as source (and not DVB-S) ?

I've tested streaming of mpeg source file (avi, mpeg, mp3). All right.

I think trouble in DVB-S support, because of normal supported streaming of other, local sources (like wrote upper). I'll test package without live555.
What do you think about libdvbpsi errors, which is in the posted log? Maybe, there is a trouble?

PS: Obey to the error messages: do not run vlc as root!! Run vlc as a normal user.

It'll be done when streaming starts to work.

[kmf31]

The libdvbpsi errors of type: "TS discontinuity" seem quite harmless, I have them regularly with DVB-T after startup of vlc. The errors "Bad CRC_32" may be more serious but it is possible that they are due to some problem with the reception.


It is possible that your precise choice of dvb-options is not perfect (this is always a bit complicated). Actually you can charge the file channels.conf (the one you use together with szap) directly in vlc simply by:

Code: Select all

vlc channels.conf

(provided you have a copy of channels.conf in the actual folder).
This should start the first dvb-channel of this file with vlc. Then you open the playlist-menu of vlc and save this as a vlc-playlist, say: "dvb.m3u" and here you see all the options vlc has selected. Maybe you have up to now some errors with the technical options ?
Have also a look here:

[00000229] main playlist: stopping playback

[kmf31]

If you don't have a graphical interface for vlc things are more complicated for testing (you can still view videos in a simple window with vlc ??).

I suggest that you edit a simple channels.conf file with only one line (i.e. one channel) and that you start vlc with this file:

Code: Select all

vlc channels.conf --sout file/ps:file_to_record.mpg

or if you prefer the TS format:

Code: Select all

vlc channels.conf --sout file/ts:file_to_record.ts

Here you will see if this creates a file or not.

Furthermore, depending on the parametrisation (or preferences) of vlc it is possible that vlc does not automatically starts with the first element of the playlist. You previous problem with channels.conf may be simply that you have manually to start with some entry. Normally this is done in the playlist window but if you don't have a graphical vlc this may be cumbersome. Also the action to save or better transform channels.conf to a playlist is not obvious without graphical interface.

You can also use the option "--playlist-autostart" to force vlc to start with the first entry of the playlist.

Actually you should think to compile vlc with one graphical interface, otherwise testing is really cumbersome.

Maybe anyone can give me sample of playlist (m3u) with dvb formated string?

kmf31, great thanks for your attention, I'll build GUI and then try again.

[kmf31]

As an example I have a playlist such as:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,TF1 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-inversion=2 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-bandwidth=8 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-fec=2 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-fec=9 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-modulation=64 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-transmission=8 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-guard=32 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-hierarchy=-1 #EXTVLCOPT:program=1537 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-frequency=730167000 dvb:

and the corresponding line in channels.conf is:

Code: Select all

TF1:730167000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:120:130:1537

But this is for DVB-T (or in France called TNT) the terrestial version of DVB and not the Sat-Version which is quite different in these details.

[cMex]

Thanks for help, I finished setup. Trouble was in programs id, I've typed video channel id (vpid) and audio channel id in --programs parameter, but have to write program id (sid).
But now one more question: what I have to do, when streaming channel with one sid, which having many audio languages (Euronews for example) and have one vpid and many audio channels ids accordingly?

[kmf31]

You may use the options "--sout-all" to stream or record "everything" that arrives but in my case (with dvb-t) this actually uses the full multiplex with many channels and many audio tracks and certains channels having one or two audio tracks. This creates a highly multiplexed file with many tracks.

If I want to record with dvb-t one channel but with all audio tracks I use a command line such as:

Code: Select all

vlc --programs 514 --color --ttl 12 --ts-es-id-pid dvb:// --dvb-frequency=698167000 --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-bandwidth=8 --sout="#standard{mux=ps,dst=record_file.mpg,access=file}"

The important thing here is "programs" with an "s" in plural and not "program" and in the end the use of
--sout="#standard{blabla}"

because if I use the more simpler way to record with:

--sout file/ps:record_file.mpg

it does NOT work to retain all audio channels. I don't know why there is this difference between the different ways of writing these options.

I believe if you stream with "programs" and a similar #standard{blabla}-line (with streaming parameters) it should work correctly.

There are also ways to separate different channels of the same multiplex for streaming to different (local) IPs using the #duplicate directive.
