#16 EPG passthrough & SDT/PAT rewrite

[Dobromir Dobrev]

Hi,
I would like to have EPG passthrough and SDT/PAT rewrite support for better STB compatibility.
Currenty I see only Service ID and Pids but not the Service name.
DVB-S EPG is not passing through when I do udp:// output.
Thanks

Try using the named outputs and manual filters to do this.

addoutput newoutput udp://
setmrl output://newoutput
addmf sdtepg output://newoutput
addmfpid sdtepg 0x11
addmfpid sdtepg 0x12

PerlDVBCtrl>addoutput newoutput udp://
OK
PerlDVBCtrl>setmrl output://newoutput
Error: Failed to set MRL!

It seems that I cannot fully understand what you mean or I'm wrong with something... Can you please explain more clearly...Thanks

I have tried to do the same but with no result. The same error: Failed to set MRL!

Sorry for the delay, very busy at work and haven't had the time to look at this.

The correct mrl should have been out://newoutput so

setmrl out://newoutput

Ok.
That worked...but I still don't get epg pass through...
//
dvb-iskra ~ # dvbctrl.pl -a 0 "lsmfpids sdtepg"
2 PIDs for 'sdtepg'
0x18
0x11
//
0x18 should be the EPG pid ...I don't know what 0x11 and 0x12 are...0x12 doesn't seem to be found at all.
I don't set any addsf/setsf on Primary service I add another services...

With another streaming software EPG works I just have to do EIT passthrough and I see the EIT table but with dvbstreamer it doesn't work.
I also have sdt rewrite support on the other software that lets me see the channel name not only the service name...Is this possible with DVBStreamer?
Thanks

Hi again...
I tried this several times but I just don't seem to get any epg data or sdt table on the output. If use mpts(8192) I receive all service descriptions and epg data...On mumudvb there is an option called:
rewrite_pat=1

sort_eit=1
where I get program name, service description and epg for the certain channel I'm streaming. On dvblast there is -O option where you do epg/eit passthrough. An old howto shows that there was eitredirect example with addpid command which is no longer supported. My point is ...is there is any chance of adding SDT/EIT to the non MPTS streamed service?
Thanks
