[vdr] Re: Announce: DVBVideoLAN

[Gerald Raaf <graaf@attglobal.net>]

Hi Dirk,

i'm running vdr vanilla and patched it with dvbvideolan, i also did it just a view
minutes ago with AIO 2206 and it works.
i got the following HW 2 DVB-S 1.3 and one DVB-Nexus-S 2.1 cards in one System. The
Nexus card is connected to TV and AV-Receiver. And i have connected a Monitor to
VGA-Out (ATI Rage Pro 128) only for testing, because the ATI is also connected to
the AV-Receiver, so i can switch to a linux terminal without a monitor.

1. dvbstream and mplayer (i use -c 2 because CAM/CI is connected to this card)
dvbstream -c 2 -ps -a 512 -v 511 -f 11798 -s 27500 -p h
mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5004
or
mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5004

dvbstream -c 2 -ps -a 256 -v 255 -f 12479 -s 27500 -p v
mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5004
or
mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5004

dvbstream -c 2 -ps -a 310 -v 309 -f 12670 -s 22000 -p v
mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5004
or
mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5004

2. vdr and mplayer (vesa output because i don't run X11 on the VDR machine)
start vdr as normal then i stream VIVA, ProSieben and Premiere 1 this are the same
as with dvbstream
mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.2:5002
for 1. stream next i did

mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.3:5002
for 2. stream next i did

mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss -vop fame,expand -cache 4096 rtp://224.0.1.4:5002
for 3. stream

remember that you can't view mplayer output over DVB-S card when running VDR, and
dvbvideolan use another port number (5002) then dvbstream (5004).

if i stream all 3 channels at the same time, i got sometimes artifacts with
mplayer, I think for doing this the System is not fast enough, i have a AMD Duron
800.
Beside if you don't use -cache on mplayer you will get the message stream not
seekable.
And sometimes mplayer needs some seconds (not more then 20 on my machine) to to
play the stream
