Multiple DVB channels streamed by flumotion from same capture card
So, a recent feature I have added to flumotion-dvb is to be able to capture multiple channels from the same dvb adapter (as long as the channels are on the same multiplex). The screenshot shows both BBC1 and BBC2 being streamed from DVB-T in the UK. The flumotion flow config is on the right, totem and a gst-launch line playing the 2 streams at the top left and the flumotion admin UI on the middle left and pusleaudio volume control so i can choose which one I want to listen to at bottom left.

Rockon! All we need now is to integrate that into the PVR apps
Good work!

That’s awesome news, I’ve always thought that getting multiple streams from the same multiplex was possible but I never found anything which would do it.
Hopefully this will now mean you use 3 dual tuner cards to receive all 6 multiplexes inside a server and be able to make all of the freeview channels available over a network

Wow. I didn’t even know that was possible.

Hi. Just a clarification: is this a gstreamer dvb plugin capability, and you added support to it to the flumotion product or do we need flumotion-dvb?
February 29th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Allan, totally.
Francesco, this is possible with gstreamer without using flumotion but not to stream them over http.
For example, to just record those 2 channels:
gst-launch dvbbasebin frequency=505833330 code-rate-hp=3/4 modulation=”QAM 16″ bandwidth=8 trans-mode=2k guard=32 hierarchy=0 code-rate-lp=3/4 program-numbers=4164:4228 name=src .program_4164 ! queue ! filesink location=bbc1.ts src.program_4228 ! queue ! filesink location=bbc2.ts

I didn’t know gstreamer could do that!
Have anyone tried this together with sasc-ng?
February 29th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Mikael, it works with sasc-ng also.

Does this work with DVB-C?
February 29th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Pete, working on it. I finally have a DVB-C test situation to try with.

What got to be the Gstreamer pipeline to record 2 (or more) radio channels in the same multiplex? Is it tested with DVB-S yet?
March 4th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Frans: the same kind of pipeline as in my earlier comment, and yes dvb-s is tested.

You should try to play Yahtzee, it’s a great game!
