streaming dvb-t

Postby dorijan » 20 Sep 2008 23:02

Hi...
I am trying to stream dvb-t channels, so I tried this as input:

dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8

and encode it using h.264
but I got error:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8'. Check the log for details.

I also tried:
dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :program=1

but I also got this error
When I try to play just dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :program=1 it plays.
What am I doing wrong?
thank you...

The dvb module is a linux module. On windows, you would need dshow or you will need to develop a DBA module for VLC mediaplayer, that can use windows DBA api to access DVB devices.

BDA already is on 0.9.x

bda warning: ParsePath: Unknown parameter program=2
--program=<integer> Program
Choose the program to select by giving its Service ID. Only use this
option if you want to read a multi-program stream (like DVB streams
for example).
--programs=<string> Programs
Choose the programs to select by giving a comma-separated list of
Service IDs (SIDs). Only use this option if you want to read a
multi-program stream (like DVB streams for example).

The Program number must be the Service PID number, also known as SID.

So you only get ParsePath error when you add streaming options?

What am I doing wrong?
thank you...

I use this one for streaming freq 714 Mhz with 5 PID's,you can change the --programs= x,x,x to --program=x, and also the transcode options as I stream with a very low bitrate.

vlc dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=714000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 --programs=102,101,103,111,217 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=200,scale=0.25,acodec=mp4a,ab=16,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ps,dst=:8080}}


running VLC with http to the IP port 8080 opens op ALL streams in individual windows..

Hi...
Is there any way to get this streams separated?
I am using this command with 0.98a

vlc dvb-t://frequency=522000:bandwidth=8 --programs=1,2,3 :sout=#transcode{vcodec="h264",vb="600",scale="0.3",acodec="mp4a",ab="64",channels="2"}:std{access="http",mux="ts",dst="10.168.4.3:1231"}:sout-all

and I get all tree channels...
but I want only one...
and I want all channels to be recoded, so that I can select only one channel and transfer it...this way I am using more bandwith

thank you..

Try adding

Code: Select all

,select="program=1"
including the comma and quotes
as described here
Note - bda commands are slightly different from linux dvb but you have those already
