[linux-dvb] help with tuning and streaming audio via dvbstream
Hello,
In case it is relevant to my situation, I am using a Hauppage WinTV Nova-T
w/Remote.
I am a brand new user of DVB and digital TV cards. After some trial and
error, I finally managed to get my card working with the latest DVB
drivers, dvbtune, and dvbstream.
I have a couple of questions hopefully some one can help me with...
1. I am experiencing strange behaviour with dvbtune. First off, I have
a valid list of transponder frequencies from my local transmitter
(BlackHill in Scotland). When I issue a command like:
> ./dvbtune -f 657833
I get the following:
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10045H"
tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to 657833000 Hz
polling....
Getting frontend event
FE_STATUS: FE_TIMEDOUT
Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency
This is strange, because often when I issue a similar command immediately
following with a different valid frequency, it does lock etc. Having said
that it does seam to tune because I can stream using dvbstream. The other
thing about this is that it takes a long time to poll. (like 5 - 10
seconds) Is there a way to speed this up?
2. I am wanting to stream mpeg audio via dvbstream to a programme like
mpg123. Let's say I am wanting to listen to BBC Radio 1.
Conf entry: BBC Radio 1 (RADIO):657833:V:S28.2E:27500:0:6210:0:0:14336
First I tune to the correct transponder:
> ./dvbtune -f 657833
(as stated above this takes quite a while to poll/tune)
Execute dvbstream, piping to mpg123:
> ./dvbstream -o 0 6210 | mpg123 -
The problem as I understand is that dvbstream is sending raw
transport-stream (think its transport) as output. I need it to be
mpeg-audio...
I read in some linux-dvb archives that you need a utility called "ts2es"
(part of the old mpegtools) but that doesn't seam to exist in any modern
DVB sources.
Can anyone tell me how I can get the audio streaming to work, or where I
can get a hold of these mpegtools?
thanks in advance,
Monty
