[vlc-devel] Setting audio tracks PIDs when streaming mpeg-ts

[jboileau]

Hum... since the possibility to set more than one audio track's pid is
not documented anywhere and the UI does not support more than one PID
for audio tracks, I guess it would be more a feature request.

One way around the problem I have just figured out is using the
--sout-ts-es-id-pid option. This sets the pids equal to the elementary
stream id. In the case of a movie the two audio tracks are 1 and 2.
Now I have to see if I can configure the subsystem to use pid's 1 and
2 instead of 80 and 81.

Thanks for your help,

Jacques
