dvbstream and pid 8192

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to save the full TS with my Hauppauge Win TV Nova T USB2.
I'm using dvbstream and the special pid 8192.

This is the command line

./dvbstream -f 505833330 -I 2 -qam 16 -cr 3_4 -crlp 3_4 -bw 8 -o:temp.xxx 8192

(uk-CrystalPalace dvb-t for BBC)

and the generated file is empty.
Reading in the mailing list in the last 3/4 months it seems that the
fimware must support this feature.

But reading the source code it seems to me that there is a problem.
Basically a map of "pid -> file" is created so to save each pid in the
right file.
The problem is that when requesting the pid 8192 the map contains the
entry 8192 while none of the pid returned by the card is 8192 (the
opposite would be strange...).

This is the code in the main loop

               for (j = 0; j < MAX_CHANNELS; j++) {
                    if (pids_map[i].pids[j] == pid) {

at line 1033 of dvbstream.c.

In the debugger I can see that "pid" gets the values of the actual
pids present in the stream, while pids_map[i].pids[j] is 8192 or -1.

Has it ever worked for anybody? How? Maybe not saving to a file, but
specifying another output?

But it is trivial to fix it, one just has to read from the "dvr" and
write everything to a file, running the line

write("fd for the full stream", buf, TS_SIZE);

in any case.
At least that creates a file and with mplayer I can pick the pid I want.

What is the best way to achieve it?
Tuning the right frequency and at the same time copying
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 to a specified file?

Thanks

Mario
