[Mplayer-dvb] dvbstream 0.4pre2 - PS streaming and mplayer patch

[Dave Chapman]

I have just released a new version of dvbstream, my application for
RTP-streaming live DVB broadcasts over a LAN.  It is available in the usual
place:

http://www.linuxstb.org/

This version includes an built-in "ts2ps" converter (taken from Marcus
Metzler's code) and can both RTP-stream a PS or send it to stdout for
recording or live playback.

The default streaming format is still TS, but if you specify exactly two PIDs
(video first, then audio), and the "-ps" switch, then it will stream the data
as a PS.

This release also includes a very small patch to the latest CVS version of
mplayer (just the file main/libmpdemux/network.c) that "turns on" the
expermental rtp support that already existed.

So, you can now stream and view live TV using the following commands:

server# dvbstream -f 12324 -p v -s 27500 512 650 -ps
client# mplayer rtp://224.0.1.2:5004/ -cache 2048

Or you can locally view live TV using the command:

dvbstream -f 12324 -p v -s 27500 512 650 -ps -o | mplayer -cache 2048 -

dvbstream should now also be compatible with other clients that can play
MPEG-2 program streams.

Regards,

Dave.
