From ca32a15a22b3bffa7f62bec81141d96850887fdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Freyermuth Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 23:41:54 +0100 Subject: stream_dvb: Add possibility to dump a full transponder. Was already possible before by injecting the magic PID 8192 into channels.conf, the flag makes this much more useable and we also have it documented. Useful not only for debugging, but also for incomplete channels.conf (mplayer format...), multi-channel recording, or channels which do dynamic PID switchng. full-transponder is also useful for channels which switch PIDs on-the-fly. ffmpeg can handle this, but it needs the full stream with all PIDs. --- DOCS/man/options.rst | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/options.rst b/DOCS/man/options.rst index 0006cff6cd..8fdd0c83e3 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/options.rst @@ -3135,11 +3135,22 @@ DVB Classic mplayer format channel lists are still supported (without these improvements), and for other card types, only limited VDR format channel list support is implemented (patches welcome). + For channels with dynamic PID switching or incomplete + ``channels.conf``, ``--dvbin-full-transponder`` or the magic PID + ``8192`` are recommended. ``--dvbin-timeout=<1-30>`` Maximum number of seconds to wait when trying to tune a frequency before giving up (default: 30). +``--dvbin-full-transponder=`` + Apply no filters on program PIDs, only tune to frequency and pass full + transponder to demuxer.
