Searching for picture parameter set... H264: 0x128 OK! This means that the stream is using h264 encoding. I tried it with S0P0 and there was only a black screen shown and I could see the VDR menu on top of it. I also noticed the the following line was added to channels.conf. I do not know how it got there. Das Erste;ARD:10:IPTV|S0P0|UDP|233.51.128.19|1234:P:0:0:49=deu:52:0:28106:1:1019:0 The line was added by vdr when it detected that the stream is in the format it supports. (Though I wonder if it shouldn't happen when disabling sid scanning with S0.) It also means that iptv plugin is working and the stream in rtp format is really supported. The entry contains 0 as the video pid which means that the channel is treated like a radio channel. Changing to this channel with the up key, I could hear the audio, but instead of the video some kind of animation was shown. Those you can set up in your media players and which move to the audio. This is what xineliboutput does when viewing a radio channel. It's called the goom plugin. I think you are only missing h264 support from vdr core which could be the reason why the video pid of the channel is set to zero. A patch for adding h264 support to vdr 1.6 -series is included in this mailing list post: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-March/016227.html It's the vdr-1.5.18-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff.bz2 and it works for 1.6 even though the name suggests 1.5 version. Vdr 1.7.x includes h264 support by default. -- Antti ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] [iptv] [input_vdr] No data in 8 seconds, queuing no signal image
Dear list, I am trying to set up IPTV for German public stations. They provide the multicast addresses [1]. I have to use the Hansenet ones. They also provide playlists for VLC and MPlayer [2]. I used VLC to watch some channels and that worked quite OK, if the modem has synced correctly(?), i. e. has a good connection. With VLC it stuttered every 5 seconds with some channels. I followed [3] and the README.Debian of the vdr-plugin-iptv package from [4]. I came up with the following. $ cat /etc/vdr/channels.conf […] :@1000 New channels Das-Erste;IPTV:10:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|vlc2iptv|1:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0 $ cat /etc/vdr/plugins/iptv/vlcinput/Das-Erste.conf URL=rtp://233.51.128.19:1234 VPID=2 APID=3 SPID=4 I start VDR with the following command. $ sudo vdr -P iptv -P xineliboutput -l3 Then I get a black screen with the information/sender name IPTV. After some more seconds I get a NO STREAM/SIGNAL screen. You can find the output written to syslog at the end of this message. I use the following versions of the sofware. $ vdr --version vdr (1.6.0-2/1.6.0) - The Video Disk Recorder iptv (0.2.5) - Experience the IPTV xineliboutput (1.0.90-cvs) - X11/xine-lib output plugin Can you give me a hint on what I made wrong or what might be the problem. Maybe I messed up some syntax in the configurations files.
