edit audio/video pcr/pid

chenks · 2006-11-18, 18:36

why has the the option to be able to edit the Audio and Video PCR & PIDs been removed from the channel edit in the tvserver ?

frodo · 2006-11-18, 20:32

since the tvserver auto-discovers the audio/video pids when tuning to a channel.
This is done since audio/video pids change often in some countries, so its better to auto-discover them then storing them in a database

that's not very good for me then it seems.
can there not be an option to change it if required ?

i use that feature in the existing tvengine, and i need it in the new tvengine also.

or at the least the facility to add a custom channel.

that would be very handy!

You can add a custom channel???
However you dont need to specify the audio/video pids since those will be
discovered automaticly

chenks · 2006-12-22, 11:49

yeah but i want to be able to add a custom channel and manually specify the PIDs.

i tried editting the values in the database, but it didn't seem to take any notice of the changes.

domb · 2006-12-22, 18:51

chenks is right, it resets them every time and sometimes you need to specify custom ones as the auto discovered pids are incorrect

frodo · 2006-12-24, 20:08

The audio/video pids are not stored in the database. Like i said, they are auto-discovered. The Only pid which is stored in the database is the PMT pid
The DVB standard states that the PMT table should always contain the audio/video pids so no need to store them seperately in the database.
Its a bad idea to store this low-level information in the database since audio/video pids and formats may and do change often on some channels / countries.

The auto discover of pid tables when you create a custom channel doesn't seem to work in encrypted at least channels... tried with the last tv3-svn today (It shows as free to air).
Tried to change it from sql and imported it via the .xml import... it doesn't seem to work.
