[streaming] Still having VLM issues

  I'm slowly getting on top of it, being able to setup single source 
multicast broadcasts.

  e.g - this works fine. I've actually setup a VLM file that sucks in 
multiple sources and relays them on different multicast groups. Works fine.


new channeltgn broadcast enabled
setup channeltgn input "http://172.17.138.12:31339/0,138c,05b4,058c,05b4"
setup channeltgn output 
#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.100.106:1234,sap,group="Usyd 
META",name="Usyd META - Thai Global Network"}
setup channeltgn option ttl=12
control channeltgn play

  With the stream (sucked out of a Dreambox STB) being relayed and 
multicasted. (I would like to get the DB to do this itself, but i've not 
had any luck with the SDK for the DB, something always fails in the 
build process, so i've never been able to attempt to compile VLC for the 
DB host).

  But this one only 'sort of works' -

new channelabc broadcast enabled
setup channelabc input dvb://
setup channelabc option dvb-adapter=1
setup channelabc option dvb-frequency=226500000
setup channelabc option dvb-bandwidth=7
setup channelabc option programs=545,546
setup channelabc option ts-es-id-pid
setup channelabc option ttl=12

setup channelabc output 
#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.100.104:1234,sap,group="Usyd 
META",name="Usyd META - ABC Sydney"},select="program=545"

setup channelabc output 
#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.100.105:1234,sap,group="Usyd 
META",name="Usyd META - ABC2"},select="program=546"

control channelabc play

  Sort of works in that the second 'setup channelabc output' over writes 
the first, and the 'select="program=546"' is ignore, both the programs 
on the transponder go out of the 100.105 multicast group together and 
when you open the multicast stream in VLC at the client end, you get two 
video windows, one for each channel...
  What I need is a VLM version of this

--sout='#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.100.104:1234,sap,group="Usyd 
META",name="Usyd META - ABC 
Sydney"},select="program=545",dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.100.105:1234,sap,group="Usyd 
META",name="Usyd META - ABC2"},select="program=546"}'

  But I can't seem to find the right way to do it - vlc 0.8.4a's VLM 
module just wont parse the above.

  I'm also assuming that VLC won't let me open the same DVB device twice 
but with different 'programs=' options for each one. I haven't tried 
that variation yet, since I can already relay a SINGLE program source fine.

  Thanks.
