my sheevaplug is running ubuntu 9.04. Attached to it is a Cinergy T^2 DVB-T receiver. I'd like to be able to stream to the network and record streams. I don't want to run mythtv on the sheeva. I'm capable of scripting my needs.
To start i tried with vlc.
running
cvlc --intf telnet --sout "#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}" \
--ttl=12 dvb:// \
--dvb-frequency=482000000 --dvb-bandwidth=8 --program=514
is starting a stream. CPU Consumption is around 25-30%. (most likely does some post processing) Works pretty well. But VLC is a memory hog and has a memory leak. Starts out with 250MB and increases to around 380 after an hour.
Next i tried dvbstream
dvbstream -f 482000000 545 546
works also. CPU Consumption below 5%. Memor 3MB. Yes three. Works very well. But i have virtually no control over it (besides killing and restarting the process the moment i need to change transponder)
As there is no mplayer package for arm in ubuntu i'm compiling one at the moment and will try it later
Do you have any suggestions of other programs i could use. I require a small memory footprint and some kind of scriptable remote interface (telnet, http, d-bus, socket anything i can contact with python)
