hello, I have to write DVB data acquisition software in order to validate a new kind of satellite Ku antenna for my work, using a Skystar 2 PCI or USB card. With help of the Linux DVB API V3 (i'm running Linux 2.6.13) i've already written a little simple programm to configure my tuner (Frontend device) and Demux. It seams to work : status: 0x1f SNR: -10012 SStrength: -17471 . So now i should be ready to write a little video viewer in order to view incoming data and to validate my Frontend and Demux configuration routines. I already took a look at the API chapter 4 , DVB Video Device, but i don't really understand how to write my viewer... so what's the simpliest way to make a little viewer ? should i use an existing viewer like Xine ? in this case how should i do to make it run with my frontend/demux configuration software ? is there a simple way to include it ? is there some documentation about that ? (i use a "budget" card so i've no /dev/dvb/adapterN/VideoN and audioN devices) Sorry for my poor english and thanks for your help. Chris
