Subject: [linux-dvb] How to start a DVB reception
Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:32:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47D41F26.6050905@googlemail.com> (raw)

Hi,

What does exactly trigger the DVB architecture to start receiving data?

It seems that I can only receive DVB as long as there is a running application that has opened the 
fronted in read/write mode and tuned.

The following does not work (if it is the only application running)
(Even if it reports a LOCK)

1) open the fronted in read only
2) check for LOCK
3) open the demux
4) set some filter, output to DEMUX
5) start the demux
6) read from demux

The is no data to read.

I've tried test_pes in dvb-apps/test and it behaves the same.

Someone has to call FE_SET_FRONTEND and keep the fd open.

Is it true?

I would like to receive the whole TS of whatever is currently tuned. (possibly in read only).

Andrea
