Hi all, I'm attempting to broadcast an mpeg2 transport stream created with ffmpeg via DVB-T. I have a modulator card with kernel driver, and have successfully modulated (and received with a simple Hauppage DVB-T USB device) a transport stream file I obtained from a friend. My problem is the stream I create myself with ffmpeg (and it's mpegts options, see link below for docs) is detected by my USB receiver's software (it finds the channel name and reports full signal strength), but it displays a black screen with no audio. I used a spectrum analyser to search for the signal, and was able to locate it and view it with sound - so I believe the problem is with normal consumer receivers being unable to understand the stream. I took a look at the two streams with a hex editor, and noticed my friend's stream appears to contain a large quantity of additional data before the media data itself starts. I also noticed that my file browser's thumbnailer was able to generate thumbnails for the streams I created, but was unable to for my friend's stream. I'm hoping that my lack of a picture on the USB receiver is caused by the absence of this additional data. Could anyone with more knowledge of a DVB-T stream's structure shed some light on what my ffmpeg-created stream might be missing that upsets simple consumer receivers (I've tried a couple with identical results)?
