\chapter{Examples} In this section we would like to present some examples for using the DVB API. \section{Tuning} We will start with a generic tuning subroutine that uses the frontend and SEC, as well as the demux devices. The example is given for QPSK tuners, but can easily be adjusted for QAM. {\small \begin{verbatim} #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define DMX "/dev/ost/demux" #define QPSK "/dev/ost/qpskfe" #define SEC "/dev/ost/sec" /* routine for checking if we have a signal */ int has_signal(int front) { feStatus stat; if ( front < 0 ){ if((front = open(QPSK,O_RDWR)) < 0){ perror("FRONTEND DEVICE: "); return -1; } } FEReadStatus(front, &stat); if (stat & FE_HAS_SIGNAL) return 0; else { printf("Tuning failed\n"); return -1; } } /* tune qpsk */ /* freq: frequency of transponder */ /* vpid, apid, tpid: PIDs of video, audio and teletext TS packets */ /* diseqc: DiSEqC address of the used LNB */ /* pol: Polarisation */ /* srate: Symbol Rate */ /* fec.

Of course, you could build in some more checking if tuning was successful and maybe try to repeat the tuning process. Depending on the external hardware, i.e. LNB and DiSEqC switch, and weather conditions this may be necessary. \section{The DVR device} The following program code shows how to use the DVR device for recording. {\small \begin{verbatim} #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define DVR "/dev/ost/dvr" #define AUDIO "/dev/ost/audio" #define VIDEO "/dev/ost/video" #define BUFFY (188*20) #define MAX_LENGTH (1024*1024*5) /* record 5MB */ /* switch the demuxes to recording, assuming the transponder is tuned */ /* demux1, demux2: file descriptor of video and audio filters */ /* vpid, apid: PIDs of video and audio channels */ int switch_to_record(int demux1, int demux2, uint16_t vpid, uint16_t apid) { struct dmxPesFilterParams pesFilterParams; if (demux1 < 0){ if ((demux1=open(DMX, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)) < 0){ perror("DEMUX DEVICE: "); return -1; } } if (demux2 < 0){ if ((demux2=open(DMXdemuxs, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)) < 0){ perror("DEMUX DEVICE: "); return -1; } } pesFilterParams.pid = vpid; pesFilterParams.input = DMX_IN_FRONTEND; pesFilterParams.output = DMX_OUT_TS_TAP; pesFilterParams.pesType = DMX_PES_VIDEO; pesFilterParams.flags = DMX_IMMEDIATE_START; if (ioctl(demux1, DMX_SET_PES_FILTER, &pesFilterParams) < 0){ perror("DEMUX DEVICE"); return -1; } pesFilterParams.pid = apid; pesFilterParams.input = DMX_IN_FRONTEND; pesFilterParams.output = DMX_OUT_TS_TAP; pesFilterParams.pesType = DMX_PES_AUDIO; pesFilterParams.flags = DMX_IMMEDIATE_START; if (ioctl(demux2, DMX_SET_PES_FILTER, &pesFilterParams) < 0){ perror("DEMUX DEVICE"); return -1; } return 0; } /* start recording MAX_LENGTH , assuming the transponder is tuned */ /* demux1, demux2: file descriptor of video and audio filters */ /* vpid, apid: PIDs of video and audio channels */ int record_dvr(int demux1, int demux2, uint16_t vpid, uint16_t apid) { int i; int len; int written; uint8_t buf[BUFFY]; uint64_t length; struct pollfd pfd[1]; int dvr, dvr_out; /* open dvr device */ if ((dvr = open(DVR, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK)) < 0){ perror("DVR DEVICE"); return -1; } /* switch video and audio demuxes to dvr */ printf ("Switching dvr on\n"); i = switch_to_record(demux1, demux2, vpid, apid); printf("finished: "); printf("Recording %2.0f MB of test file in TS format\n", MAX_LENGTH/(1024.0*1024.0)); length = 0; /* open output file */ if ((dvr_out = open(DVR_FILE,O_WRONLY|O_CREAT |O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR |S_IRGRP|S_IWGRP|S_IROTH| S_IWOTH)) < 0){ perror("Can't open file for dvr test"); return -1; } pfd[0].fd = dvr; pfd[0].events = POLLIN; /* poll for dvr data and write to file */ while (length < MAX_LENGTH ) { if (poll(pfd,1,1)){ if (pfd[0].revents & POLLIN){ len = read(dvr, buf, BUFFY); if (len < 0){ perror("recording"); return -1; } if (len > 0){ written = 0; while (written < len) written += write (dvr_out, buf, len); length += len; printf("written %2.0f MB\r", length/1024./1024.); } } } } return 0; } \end{verbatim} } %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: "dvbapi" %%% TeX-master: t %%% End:
