The following patch adds DVB support to alevt. Compared to the previous version, it now uses the demux API exclusively, without using dvr. That means multiple alevt's decoding different teletext streams can be started concurrently.
Patch: http://www.baycom.org/~tom/alevt-dvb-demux.patch Patched RPMs from RedHat's 7.1 powertools CD are on: http://www.baycom.org/~tom/alevt-1.6.0-3jnx.i386.rpm http://www.baycom.org/~tom/alevt-1.6.0-3jnx.src.rpm Usage: alevt -vbi /dev/ost/demux0 starts decoding the first program in the PAT having a teletext stream. alevt -vbi /dev/ost/demux0 -pid 0x67 starts decoding transport stream PID 0x67 alevt -vbi /dev/ost/demux0 -progname SAT.1 starts decoding the named program's teletext stream Note that the first and third option require a fairly long startup time. In that case, alevt first has to parse several tables, namely PAT, SDT and for each program listed in the PAT the corresponding PMT. It does this sequentially. Esp. the SDT seems to have fairly long repetition periods (~5s) so startup may take 10s. As with bttv, an external application must be used to do the tuning, eg. tuxzap or vdr.
