[streaming] VLS DVB Streaming

[Paul Rae]

Hi All,

I'm setting up a server to stream out a number of channels from DVB-T cards. I have the cards installed and working and all is ready on that side.

I now need to configure VLS to stream the channels. Now from reading i believe i have to setup a .dvbrc file listing the channels.

Can someone tell me how i create this file / what the syntax is as I'm not clear on this.

I thought i could rename my channels.conf which was created from tzap however vls doesnt seem to like that.

Currently my .dvbrc has entries similar to this:

BBC ONE:641833330:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601:4173

When i run vls i get:

dvbstreamer:~# vls -vv -d udp:10.172.2.123 dvb:"BBC ONE" --ttl 5
