yes vlc and wmp12(if Lav directshow is installed)
Ok, cool, and what about XBMC? If that plays it too, this could serve directly as a recording file.

i dosent use XBMC or MediaPortal

capture a rtp stream
think if i remove the Rtp Header from Rtp Packet should it be possible to write into a file in theory

Okay, but just install it for testing purposes, because it's rather important the file plays in all these systems, otherwise more work will be required to make it into a valid recording file...

if Xbmc or Mediaportal can Play MpegTs i doesnt Need to install them!
Sat>Ip transmit the Transport stream from sat dvbc or dvbt
over the protocols Http/Rtsp for session handling and Rtp for the Data Si Pmt Pat and so

That's basically my question and perhaps you answered this but it's not 100% clear to me.

So can you, or did you, write a console program that captures the Sat>IP stream to an actual file? And if so, does this file play in e.g. VLC?

in vlc is this no Problem

if you let vlc Setup the Rtsp session Play vlc the stream
if you control rtsp and give vlc thr rtp URL Plays vlc too

in my sample is the rtsp part finished and i work on the rtp and the hint with remove the rtp Header from rtp packet and add the sequenze to buffer is more theory

OK, thanks, so if I understand correctly this is all purely streaming, there is no functional file recording yet in what you tried?

the streams.ts is createt and data Comes in
in this hang i at time "No Sync Byte found"

Code: Select all

for (int i = 0; i < recv; i = i + 188)
{
    if (data[i] == syncbyte[0])

Although I don't known if this matters (should not !!!) some experiences of my own:

* 4k is quite a small buffer for the FileStream buffer, I go for at least 100k, normally 1M
* I experienced some heavy problems using FileStream constructor with async=true which internally uses Windows async file I/O (as I remember) - in my opinion you can BeginWrite even if async=false
* Never hat the courage to send multiple BeginWrite requests at a time: I have a DoubleBuffering implementation on my own (you can find it in the TS assembly of DVB.NET I think) which makes sure that only one BeginWrite is active at each time and in addition decouples receiving from writing

Just some guess

Hi Jochen

danke das mit der Byte Array größe hat geklappt 4096000 <- damit habe ich keine jitter mehr
