6.3. Stream with VLC

For this, you must use the CVS version of VLC and compile it with ./configure --enable-dvb This feature should still be considered as experimental.

% vlc -vvv --program 8211 dvb:12597000:0:3:27500000 --sout udp:192.168.0.12 --ttl 12

• 8211 is the PID of the DVB channel you would like to stream, expressed as a decimal number ;

• 12597000 is the frequency of the transponder you want to stream from in Hz;

• 0 is the polarization (0 for vertical, 1 for horizontal) ;

• 3 is the FEC (3 for 3/4, 9 for auto) ;

• 27500000 is the transponder symbol rate in Hz ;

• 192.168.0.12 is either :

  • or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast to ;
