notes to self, notice how everything leads to a collect everything and serve DVB/ATSC formats solution:
experimental:
- 8 LOC streamripper using liveMedia library, fetches mp3 via http and writes TS to disk
collected reference material:
- update (rewrite) tuxbox (dbox2/dreambox) recorder along the lines of other DVB recorders (doh #6576)
- create a mpeg radio via http recorder (wrap mp3/aac elementary stream into valid SPTS with EIT and a nice Shout-/Ice-/Whatevercast channel scanner)
- provide User:Dekarl/How to remux elementary streams to look like a Freebox
research started:
- DVB-IPTV client / headend
wanted / looking for:
- software DVB-IPTV client
- native frontend on STBs (I want a fanless HD frontend like the popcornhour, needs hints from vendors, see mvpmcx2)
- FreeBSD port with working DVB recorder (DVB drivers are in the works, virtual dev machine unstable due to unrelated bugs...)
- compress recorded MPEG2 SPTS by converting MPEG2 video to H.264/VC-1 and MPEG audio Layer II to AAC
- collect and make use of AR, AFD, ATSC bardata (crop on export/reencode, zoom on playback)
- simple tool to mux valid ES in foreign containers into SPTS / MPEG4 files
- display aspect a) 16:10 b) any aspect for windowed frontends on a desktop
after world domination:
- little NAS box with USB DVB receiver to serve your off-the-shelf STBs
Bug Notes
- it's not that hard to package up a patched MythTV on Ubuntu
- see User:Dekarl/Testing patches on Mythbuntu for the required steps (give yourself ~2 hours for the first try)
- 0.21 is unable to scan for DVB-C channels without first importing a channel.conf
- german broadcasters are not signaling teletext subtitle pages in PMT
- try some PMT fixup as the pages are fixed each network, needs to scan the private data for existance of that page
- contacted ZDF on 2011-11-22, lets see if they can add the information themselves, would be preferred.
