Hello,
With the recent threads about software decoding and networking of VDR, I
decided to revisit and release my "DVBstream" application.
This is based on the "ts-rtp" package from www.linuxtv.org. It includes a
couple of bug fixes to that package and the ability to stream live from a DVB
card. The license is the GNU GPL.
After tuning to a transponder, you run dvbstream as follows:
dvbstream pid1 pid2 ... pid8
On the client, use the included dumprtp utility to receive selected PIDs from
the multicast:
dumprtp pid1 pid2 > received.ts
It would be straightforward to write a client based on dumprtp that sends
this transport stream back to a DVB card on the client for hardware playback.
I haven't had any success reliably playing back a TV stream in software (i.e.
without any A/V corruption). This may be due to my use of a 10Mbit/s LAN.
However, using the mpegtools with the driver, I have performed problem-free
audio-only decoding by doing:
dvbstream vpid apid
dumprtp | ts2pes vpid apid | pes2aud_es | mpg123 -
[Marcus - any chance of adding a "ts2aud_es apid" utility to mpegtools?]
All feedback welcome,
Dave.
