So I'm receiving this signal from satellite.
I got a set top box which receives it and displays on TV. That part
works of course.
However if I use a DVB card to try to watch the same signal, it doesn't work.
I have separate samples of each situation:
1) http://pbx.mine.nu/dvb/dongs.ts
this file is the full dump of the transponder at ~30mbit,
including null PID.
this shows the PAT/PMT, 1 program with colorbars (not what I want
to play) and
a ~24mbps PID 0x1ffc which contains a mux of several audio/video
programs (what I do
want to play).
2) http://pbx.mine.nu/dvb/PID_0x1ffc.ts
this is only pid 0x1ffc saved from the same broadcast. ts headers
containing pid 1ffc are
left intact. This doesn't play at all.
3) http://pbx.mine.nu/dvb/PID_0x1ffc_dropheader.ts
this is PID 1ffc PAYLOAD ONLY, which seems to contain ANOTHER
transport stream
(though with odd structure, 184 * 8 bytes there's a new TS header,
somethign is really
strange going on there). When playing this in VLC, screen
flickers a lot, and eventually
causes VLC to crash. This is what I would like to play. This
(well, all 3 of these do) sample
contains about 6 different mixed video/audio programs. If you
look carefully at this TS, it
has its own PAT/PMT, which points video at pid 0x1023, and audio
at 0x1022. However
whatever format the video at 0x1023 is, it seems to be
interleaving? all 6 programs into a
single video stream.
So... How do I play this stuff? I can provide more samples for testing
if necessary.
