Why should a demux care how the TS was delivered? All DVB variants and
ATSC use MPEG-2 TS, right? I don't know about DSS though.
Some protocols need different SYNC words , stream lengths etc for the
demuxer to work (DSS and DVB-S2 differ from DVB-S/C/T/ATSC) DSS has a
different SYNC word and a different stream lengths, but S2 has more
modes of operation which again needs this.
So there are 3 different categories
(1) DVB--> DVB-S/C/T/ATSC
(2) DSS
(3) DVB-S2 --> multiple modes
"Protocol" is wrong, it should be named "transport stream format",
A delivery system sounds acceptable ?
typedef enum {
FE_DELSYS_DVB_S = 0x00000001,
FE_DELSYS_DVB_S2 = 0x00000002,
FE_DELSYS_DVB_C, = 0x00000004,
FE_DELSYS_DVB_T, = 0x00000008,
FE_DELSYS_DSS = 0x00000010,
FE_DELSYS_ATSC = 0x00000020
} fe_delsys_t;
and there are:
- MPEG-2 TS
- DSS
- DVB-S2 whatever (I don't know about that)
My guess is that you will have trouble finding a DVB-S2 stream
which does not use MPEG2-TS. You're ahead of your time.
yeah, for the normal operation modes only the TS mode is used, the other
modes are used for DSNG etc.
well, i found it in the specs, so i thought it would be easier to do it.
The reason being anyway need to add the information for DSS and DVB-S2
specs also point in that direction, so i believe to have it defined
would be the easier and less confusion later on.
For DSS you'd also need to implement a different demux (with
a different demux API).
Yeah, you are right. Additionally it will need an adapter object as
well, since some bridges need specific settings for the aligned transfer
and the SYNC words. Ralph was of the suggestion that we should add other
bridge specifics into it , like a bridge RESET etc. Still working on it,
in relevance to the stb0899.
