Using DVBset and vls-0.3.0 with the patch.
Also using DVB-0.9.3. Started ./DVBset in one session, launched vls in 
another and did telnet localhost 9999 to server.

Here come the troubles ;-)

I used the patch for vls-0.3.0 and did the nescessary modifications to 
stream either VIVA or CNN (free to air channels). The stream gets 
started alright and I even can see the load on my ethernet card go up to 
about 4-5 Mb/s.

The telnet session report this.

 > start live2 samantv live
Provider: Manager
Status: 0

   Provider: live
   Status: 0
   Info: Program live2 started

Program started streaming I assume and used this trick in input.cfg
BEGIN "Input"
#  FilesPath    = "/home/saman/tsrecording"
   FilesPath     = "/dev/ost"
   PgrmCount     = "1"
END

#BEGIN "1"
#  Name = "live1"
#  Device = "/dev/ost/dvr" << did not work !!!
#  Type = "Mpeg2-TS"
#END

BEGIN "1"
   Name = "live2"
   FileName = "dvr"
   Type = "Mpeg2-TS"
END

Snipping of vls output

User "bozo" successfully authentificated

So I figure I most be streaming something.

The bad part is that vlc is not able to show the stream. Here is some 
part of the complete vlc error.txt

My question with what vlc version did you work?
Or am I streaming blanked out packets now?

Any ideas how I can continue?
