As of PES, without a "+audio_pid_index" all audio and dolby pids will be streamed. So on a channel with only one audio pid, a "+1" won't make any difference. For channels with multiple audio/dolby pids, the streamdev html page already contains specific links for each. Look for the <a>-tags with class apid and dpid respectively. Rather add the vod/prebuf/tvid attributes there. With ES it's obvious that you get either video or audio, never both at the same time. By default (without +index) you get the video pid. If there is none (radio channel) you get the first audio pid. According to an open bug report, PS actually sends PES. Finally TS normally doesn't consider the actual audio pid. It streams most relevant pids (not only audio and video) according to the PMT. This format should be the best choice. It may not have worked by the time the guy at the NMT forum tried the first time, as streamdev didn't have a PAT repacker by that time. It is part of streamdev 0.3.4.

It was at the web forum above that URL like > "/PES/*.vdr" should work. I doubt that *.vdr is known as an official filename extension for PES files.

Filename suffixes have already been suggested a while ago. I'd be fine with them if they are necessary. > Now the problem is that h.264 streaming is not working. It should > happen via TS-container?

Haven't checked if the PES remuxer actually supports h.264. TS would be a better choice anyway.
