Let it be known, while it does "work," it's really pretty OK for single-display-at-a-time sorts of traditional sat tuner uses. The DVR functions are actually OK, too. That it did any SAT>IP stuff in previous firmware revs (and still retains and HTTP stuff on :81) is pretty cool. What's really annoying is they *still advertise* SAT>IP functionality for this device. Absolutely untrue in its current state. > Did you have some DVB-S USB/PCI tuner? Could work better than the V8X and > way more flexible. (Although the Harmonic seems to be a more definitive > solution) I did contemplate trying to get some flavor of next-day shipment of TBS's USB DVB-S tuner, but was able to get this V8X box working sooner than that could have arrived. It wasn't terribly straightforward, though. After an exasperating few days scouring their (GTMEDIA/freesat.cn) forums, I finally happened to stumble upon a few posts mentioning 'playlists' and folks talking about using 'vlc player' with the V8X. The rest was merely connecting the dots back to the playlist exporting function and conjuring a URL format that worked for the PIDs needed. Just, sigh. -Tk _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
