My aim is to develop some experimental dvb applications on top of this dvb kernel api. Initially, I do not want to use any hardware and would like to play with the recorded ts files I have. So, is there any software demux device available within this package or somewhere else? If so, how can I load this device and make it work on a given ts file circularly? On the other hand, I have no /dev/dvb node at the moment, so should I do anything for this or would loading the driver create it automatically? > > Thanks in advance. > > Cheers, > > Ozgur. maybe this is a good starting point for you: "I wrote a Linux kernel module which provides one or more virtual DVB adapters. When loaded, it creates a char device of the form /dev/dvbloop for every virtual DVB adapter. All Transport Stream packets written to a char device will be delivered on the corresponding virtual DVB adapter. You can get the sources at http://cpn.dyndns.org/projects/dvbloop.shtml Maybe somebody finds it useful. Cheers, Christian. -- Christian Praehauser" the link seems to be outdated, but the following is still working https://svn.baycom.de/repos/dvbloop/. A S2API patch is out as well: http://www.vdrportal.de/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=24024 I've no idea if this is working well or not, I'm not using it myself. YMWV Roland
