DVBs: (Skystar2) Very first beta for try on sourceforge (2 Viewers)

[Anonymous]

any plans to implement mpg recording? I'm using dvbcore in my app KeyDVB which uses a old closed source COM wrapper for dvbcore. It records corrupt time stamps so I started building my own wrapper for the adapter class in the SS2 SDK with C++ managed extensions (it just works . Setting a channel and rendering the graph was easy. I figured out my files play fine with VLC and implementing mpg recording likely won't be easy so I canceled my wrapper for some time because a) somebody else might come with a mpg solution, b). BDA will likely take of and c) managed extensions syntax will change drastically soon and the available VisualStudio Express betas have too many issues. The only source code I've found to convert ts to mpg is libdvb, before working on mpg recording I need to improve my coding skills. I'm very curious about your work , sadly open source is not very popular in the Windows DVB scene, you guys are a pioneers in this regard

What do want to be able to play the files back in?

I skip a lot, the fastest and most reliable DShow filter chain I know is mpg -> elecard parser -> sonic decoder, other filters or build in solutions like MPC and VLC are either to slow or not precise and stable enough or all together. The critical task is the parser I think and the elecard parser might be the best MPEG2 parser available.

You could use the Stream Buffer Engine to create your recordings. This wraps the files in MS's dvrms. This will give you accurate and responsive seeking. Works wonderful for live as well with full trick play. Pretty easy to code.

I still hope a soon release...

In this time here some feature request:

- OSD skinable (ex like the Dreambox has)

- Bouqets (for grouping the Channels)

Is that planned??

it will use the same interface as TV now uses in MP.
