From 0d59a27d69400711493159908570b5b66f5ac369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:52:26 +0000 Subject: DMX_OUT_TSDEMUX_TAP: record two streams from same mux, resend From: Peter Hartley Currently (in linux-2.6.24, but linux-dvb hg looks similar), the dmx_output_t in the dmx_pes_filter_params decides two things: whether output is sent to demux0 or dvr0 (in dmxdev.c:dvb_dmxdev_ts_callback), *and* whether to depacketise TS (in dmxdev.c:dvb_dmxdev_filter_start). As it stands, those two things can't be set independently: output destined for demux0 is depacketised, output for dvr0 isn't. This is what you want for capturing multiple audio streams from the same multiplex simultaneously: open demux0 several times and send depacketised output there. And capturing a single video stream is fine not what you want: you want multi-open (so demux0, not dvr0), but you want the TS nature preserved (because that's what you want on output, as you're going to re-multiplex it with the audio). At least one existing solution -- GStreamer -- sends all its streams simultaneously via dvr0 and demuxes again in userland, but it seems a bit of a shame to pick out all the PIDs in kernel, stick them back together in kernel, and send them to userland only to get unpicked again, when the alternative is such a small API addition. The attached patch adds a new value for dmx_output_t: DMX_OUT_TSDEMUX_TAP, which sends TS to the demux0 device. With this patch and a dvb-usb-dib0700 (and UK Freeview from Sandy Heath), I can successfully capture an audio/video PID pair into a TS file that mplayer can play back.
