Can VLC grab multiple pids from a single MPEG2 Stream?Demux?

Postby jphillips » 02 Dec 2009 23:35

I'm using a Multiplexer to add multiple channels to a single UDP Multicast stream. I was wondering if VLC can or an addon that will allow me to DEMUX or pull thouse streams
from said Multicast. When I view on the Multicast address I.E. 224.0.0.5 port 5000 it will only grab the first pid and not let me choose the other 4 pids. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you speaking about several programs/PMT?
In such case, you can use playback> program menu to switch between muxed channels. Using command_line, there is option "--program".

If PAT packets do not describe your PMTs, you can use "--ts-extra-pmt" option to virtualy create a PMT listing its elementary streams.
