drozdziak1: Hello, could you recommend me a USB DVB-C and DVB-T capable tuner? My key area of interest is transport stream sniffing. Does that affect what I should choose in any way?
<br> (I seek Linux compatibility, too, of course)
<br> Anyone, please?
<br> Is there free of charge software that can generate DSM-CC carousels in *.ts files?
<br> I've seen dsmcc-mhp-tools, but I can't compile it since the newest changes come from 9 years ago and the dependencies from back then are incompatible.
stuartm: <u>drozdziak1</u>: doesn't matter what hardware you choose if you want to look at the stream, almost every device will return the full transport stream unfiltered - there are some exceptions but they are few in number and I can't give a list
drozdziak1: stuartm Yes, I realized that after a bit of further research
stuartm: <u>drozdziak1</u>: just to be clear, you want to create a DSM-CC carousel, not parse one in an existing file?
drozdziak1: Both options would be ideal, but for now I need to *generate* carousels
<br> stuartm
stuartm: ok, less familiar with options for generating
drozdziak1: stuartm How about extracting files from *.ts'es? Can dvbsnoop do that, by chance?
stuartm: good question, I don't think it can, I've never seen that functionality but maybe it's an option in a more recent release
drozdziak1: I found something that could work, will check if it builds in a moment http://libdsmcc.sourceforge.net/
stuartm: right, I was going to point to that
drozdziak1: Oh, last modified in 2014, looks promising
stuartm: another option is the dsmcc library which ships with MythTV, it also has an MHEG parsing and rendering library
<br> I'm not sure if the author also made it available as a standalone - depending on your needs and resources, it might be worth a look
<br> if this is just personal research then it's probably not worth the effort of extracting that library from the application, but if this is for a commercial product then it's probably a different story
drozdziak1: stuartm I was assigned an R&D task for DSM-CC file serving options
stuartm: ok, maybe worth a look, I'm not sure how it compares to libdsmcc but it's actively used with real broadcast content by thousands in several countries (for MHEG) so it's both actively maintained and is pretty solid
drozdziak1: stuartm Ah, it libdsmcc compiles only to *.a without actual example of using this lib.
<br> s/it //gc
stuartm: working examples are probably slim on the ground, it's a relatively niche field
drozdziak1: stuartm Huh, dsmcc bits in MythTV derive from libdsmcc
<br> Is there any sample DSM-CC *.ts available for download?

superkolaideris: Hello everyone!
<br> I have a question, Hauppauge DualHD
<br> will it be supported by vl4?
<br> dvb-t/t2/c version
Tex_Nick: <u>superkolaideris</u>: couple weeks ago i purchased a hauppauge hvr-1955 tv tuner, fm radio & vid capture usb box, their solution for linux is to patch either a 3.16 or 3.19 kernel, i'm kinda less than happy about that lol
merbanan: <u>superkolaideris</u>: [PATCH] em28xx: add support for Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD DVB tuner might be what you need
<br> posted yesterday
superkolaideris: I've try'ed to build from git couple hours ago and it didn't worked
<br> maybe i had to use some kinda development version?
***: Tex_Nick has left "In Linux, We Trust"
merbanan: <u>superkolaideris</u>: the patch was posted yesterday
<br> <u>superkolaideris</u>: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/33811/
superkolaideris: <u>merbanan</u>: I'm new to these things, this patch waits for some kind of approval?
merbanan: <u>superkolaideris</u>: yes, it is awaiting review, you can apply the patch to test and see if it is working
superkolaideris: <u>merbanan</u>: that would be great, where should I apply?
<br> <u>merbanan</u>: Oh, u mean apply the patch
merbanan: <u>superkolaideris</u>: download the driver git tree, download the patch, compile the drivers, install them, test them
<br> yes that was what I meant
_rad: How do I propose a patch?
merbanan: <u>_rad</u>: send it to the mailing list
_rad: <u>merbanan</u>: whats the format? Just paste a git diff?
merbanan: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_submit_patches
_rad: doh :)
<br> thanks
merbanan: this is hopefully correct
_rad: somehow i didnt find it
superkolaideris: <u>merbanan</u>: thank you:)
merbanan: <u>superkolaideris</u>: if it works or not please respond to the mail
_rad: <u>merbanan</u>: um, cant seem to run "make checkpatch"
<br> is that in the media tree?
superkolaideris: <u>merbanan</u>: will do that
merbanan: <u>_rad</u>: should be, otherwise run the checkpatch script manually
_rad: <u>merbanan</u>: i see that it's used in the entire kernel tree, so it's a kernel thing... I'll figure it out
<br> thanks

_rad: what is the deal with git replacing @ with <at> and breaking send-email function?
<br> is there a way around it?
<br> or am i doing something wrong?
