Hi Guys,
I discovered yesterday that my cable box produces usable input on the firewire output. Following a mythtv tutorial I managed to get a reasonable ts stream dumped to a file. However, each channel appears to have it's own vpid and apid/dpid (often several) similar to ATSC content. I'm guessing the cable box it outputting the raw ts.
To get the fire I followed this page:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/FireWire
And managed to get test-mpeg2 working. This file was playable (in really good quality) on xbmc.
Is there a way I can get this into VDR? I tried iptv, but ffmpeg throws an error:
[mpegts @ 0x80719c0] Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 228701 >= 228701 av_interleaved_write_frame(): Operation not permitted
Probably due to bugs in the ts stream..
I also tried test-mpeg2 -r 0 - | nc -u 127.0.0.1 4321 in a script but iptv believed the script had finished and tried to kill it?
I can put a 1 min sample somewhere if it'll help?
Ok, turns out it was streaming both my cable boxes together in one stream. I appear to have seperated the streams some how..
Now it seems to work with ffmpeg..
