[streaming] Re: VLS DVB Streaming

[Paul Rae]

OK i seem to be making some progress, but am still coming up against a few issues.

Uptil now i have been using the binary package for debian, but i think it may now be the cause of a few other problems. I'm now building from source and have hit a new problem.

./configure --enable-dvb --disable-dvd
....
checking for dvbdriver headers in ... checking linux/dvb/frontend.h usability... yes
checking linux/dvb/frontend.h presence... yes
checking for linux/dvb/frontend.h... yes
checking for libdvb headers in ... checking DVB.hh usability... no
checking DVB.hh presence... no
checking for DVB.hh... no
configure: error: Could not find libdvb headers on your system: you may get it from http://www.metzlerbros.org/dvb/index.html

Now I have installed the libdvb-0.2.2 from the videolan site, and i do seem to have the headers on my machine:

dvbstreamer:~/vls-0.5.6# find / -name DVB.hh
/usr/include/libdvb/DVB.hh

So the question is how come they are not being found when i try to build it?

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

Here's a .dvbrc file for Crystal Palace. You'll need to change the 
frequencies to match your local transmitter, but it should give you some 
idea.  Once you've a basic file with the correct multiplex modulation 
parameters you can use it as a template for satscan (packaged with libdvb) 
to produce a new file with latest channel line-up.  Be sure to use the 
version of satscan that comes with libdvb 0.2.2 as later versions of 
satscan add more parameters to the CHANNEL line, which libdvb 0.2.2 cannot 
read.

Good luck,

Andrew
