Streaming of STB updates

[Stowaway]

Dear all,

I need to stream SW loads for STBs. The update stream is in TS format, it contains two PIDs: payload and service data (not PSI/SI). How can I make VLC to stream this file.

Thanks in advance.

You can try to stream it as any normal TS input file with the --sout-all, but I doubt that this is properly implemented.

That is the problem. I have even created the stream with PAT and PMT tables that describe parts of the update stream as video and audio. No result.

you can use the quick UDP streamer from the the MPEG-TS demux. It basically UDP transmits everything it receives to the UDP address of your choosing. On the other hand, it might just be easier for you to write a simple C program that does the same.

The DJ, thank you. But I'm not sure I understand what do you actually mean. Is it some kind of software?

It is an option in vlc. On the commandline it would be --ts-out="ip:port"

Thanks, DJ. It seems it streams the update file.

Is there any option which can set a bitrate of the output stream?

Hi guys,

Do you have any idea how to make an output bitrate slower?

Thanks.
