Glad to see people finding this useful and having some success. Having learned the Linux DVB API as this project has progressed, it made me think there should be a better way to do this without the dependency on external programs. My ultimate goal is to wrap it up as a Squeezecenter plugin, so keeping it "as perl as possible" seemed to make sense.
So I have make another version: http://shed.interdog.co.uk/dvbserver2.tgz This version uses a perl module (Linux::DVB) to do all the DVB work, so no longer requires getstream or ts2radio be installed. This is just an interface to the Linux kernel DVB API. Consequently it should also require less CPU than the previous version. I've also added a first attempt at DVB-S and DVB-C support. I've done a little testing on DVB-S, but not much, and I have no way to test DVB-C. Let me know if it works or not! The README in the kit is updated with full instructions. It should be easier to get going than the last one. I'm interested in feedback on if people think this is a better/easier approach, and also what the demand is for a complete plugin? Are people comfortable using dvbscan to build the channel list, or would built in scanning be preferred? I was thinking scanning could be driven from the Squeezecentre web interface, but picking the initial scan file would be interesting. I could go with a full frequency scan, but this would be slower (especially on DVB-S).
