I happen to be the software engineer writing the edje-3050 code.
What exactly are you trying to do?
How are you configuring the edje-3050?
Are you using SPTS UDP or SPTS-RDP?

I am watching VOIP (Video Over IP) streams on VLC streamed by the 3050 using
SPTS-UDP mode. My streams are both from MPEG-2 encoders and live Satellite
feeds.

Regards,

This is the answer from Edje's support:
Problem:  If you place an MPEG analyzer on the DVB input stream to the
DTA3050, you will find that the transport header for the service (channel)
that you have selected is packed with an enormous amount of extraneous data.

This data is not required for playout.  It is discarded by the decoder.  A
set-top-box--which uses a hardware decoder--can handle this extra data
easily.  VLC is software, and it simply cannot handle the large amount of
header information in the digital turnaround transport stream.

Any Ideas?
