[vdr] Firewire output on cable box.

2011-02-19 Thread Rob Davis

Hi Guys,

I discovered yesterday that my cable box produces usable input on the 
firewire output.  Following a mythtv tutorial I managed to get a 
reasonable ts stream dumped to a file.   However, each channel appears 
to have it's own vpid and apid/dpid (often several) similar to ATSC 
content.  I'm guessing the cable box it outputting the raw ts.


To get the fire I followed this page:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/FireWire

And managed to get test-mpeg2 working.  This file was playable (in 
really good quality) on xbmc.


Is there a way I can get this into VDR?  I tried iptv, but ffmpeg throws 
an error:


[mpegts @ 0x80719c0] Application provided invalid, non monotonically 
increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 228701 >= 228701

av_interleaved_write_frame(): Operation not permitted

Probably due to bugs in the ts stream..

I also tried test-mpeg2 -r 0 - | nc -u 127.0.0.1 4321  in a script but 
iptv believed the script had finished and tried to kill it?


I can put a 1 min sample somewhere if it'll help?

Ok, turns out it was streaming both my cable boxes together in one 
stream.  I appear to have seperated the streams some how..


Now it seems to work with ffmpeg..

[vdr] iptv question (possible conflict with altchannel patch)

2011-02-19 Thread Rob Davis
I noticed that on my setup (1.7.16) iptv only displays one iptv stream.  
I'm sure it used to do more than one if selected on a different frontend 
(I think I had up to 8).  Is this a change from iptv 0.3.4 to 0.4.2 or 
is it a conflict with the altchannel plugin..?
