Hi, After searching internet (and also a clue reply from this list), I found that I should add pat and pmt pids to dvbstream output to work with videolan (vlc). I found pmt pid from scan utility output, and added 0 for pat pid, as I found in instructions. but when I run dvbstream, it says that it streams just 3 streams (opposed 4, that I think it should do, pat, pmt, video, audio), and I could not play output with vlc. the questions are: 1: is the pmt_pid in output of scan utility is correct? 2: is my dvbstream version is correct? in the helps I found from internet, there was -net option for dvbstream, but my version uses -i and -r for network settings, and there is no -net option. 3: how many streams should dvbstream reports in streaming for vlc. should it report "streaming 4 streams" when I have pat pmt video audio pids, or reporting "streaming 3 streams" is correct? Thanks a lot. John. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
