DVB Radio

Hi All,

Just wondering what the latest state is with regards to DVB radio
channels. I understand that they hang unless you set a video pid...
but even then it can be fussy.

Is any work been done around this area? I'd really love to be able to
schedule recordings of radio channels and record them straight to
MP3... has anyone done anything similar?

Re: DVB Radio [In reply to]

I have a script that takes a dvb scan, and assigns a random video PID from
the same channel, then another script that exports to mp3.

Works very well.

Re: DVB Radio [In reply to]

Do you record the video and audio stream and convert to MP3 afterwards
or can you record straight to MP3?

Would you mind posting or mailing your script?

Thanks - James.

I would like to see this too.

I found an old thread discussing DVB radio in Myth but it seems it never went anywhere. Would be nice to listen to some BBC comedy shows on the bus to work ;)

RE: DVB Radio [In reply to]

I could be wrong, but I thought DVB Radio channels in the UK were broadcast
in MP2 format.

Re: DVB Radio [In reply to]

Hi,

Yes the ones i checked do broadcast in mp2.

The way I work is I have a script which takes the recorded shows, and
re-encodes them from mp2 to mp3. I then use rsync to sync them to my mp3
player for mobile listening... all very easy, all I have to do is use
mythweb to flag the shows I want to record, and then plug my mp3 player in
and run the sync script...

Quite a few people have asked me for this script (and the one that does the
export), so I have chucked together a quick n dirty page on my Wiki with the
scripts on it at

http://wiki.ripnet.co.uk/

cheers

>From a UK perspective, you can use DVB to record radio as if it was a TV
show out of the (mythtv) box. You just need to put a fake PID for the
video in the dvb_pids table. Well, not exactly fake - one from another
*TV* channel on the same MUX. You then get the audio from the radio
stream and the video from the TV stream - stops myth complaining...

I then use mplayer to dump the audio, like this:

mplayer -vo null -dumpaudio -dumpfile my_audio_file.mp2 \
11009_20041216185800_20041217010000.nuv

You can then use LAME to convert to MP3. Used to work a treat for John
Peel :(

Re: Re: DVB Radio [In reply to]

Thanks, I'll try that.

It would still be nice for native DVB Radio handling in Myth; it's a little OTT
to have to record all that video. I wonder if "Radio mode" is in the pipeline?
(You know, just show the logo of the station and the program name like Sky et
al.)

Do you have to re-encode them? In my experience if you just rename
the file .mp3 then mp3 players will play the file anyway as mp2 and
mp3 are so similar. I figure 192 k MP2 is pretty good quality and not
too large so I'd rather keep the original format.

I have a similar script which looks through all the recorded programs
once an hour then rips the mp2 audio from the recorded programs into
another directory.

It would be very nice if mythtv could record just the audio as its
slightly annoying to record 574MB of useless video (bid up TV at 2
Mbit/s ;-) + audio when all that is really required is the 53MB of MP2
data within it.

I'm working on a program which will stream the audio of recorded
programs and 'LiveTV' to an http mp3 stream. I plan to use this for
listening to stuff on my squeezebox. I'll make an annoucement when
its done, but its working proof of concept now (it plays live TV and
recordings via mpg123 now rather than streaming them).

That depends - my old mp3 player (An Archos Recorder 20) played mp2's fine,
but my current one (iRiver IHP140) doesnt play them. I used to just demux
the stream and use the mp2.

Of course when Rockbox is finished for the iRiver it will play mp2 as well
:)

You could always use nuvexport to convert the files to mp3. I ripped
the new HHGTTG like that.

True, i think you have to use nuvexport if the video is recorded in nuppel
format, but I have a DVB card, so I can skip that step and tell ffmpeg to
directly encode the .nuv...

I didnt have much luck with nuvexport overall on dvb files :)

More specifically, MP3 is a superset of MP2. You should be able to feed MP2
data to an MP3 decoder. If an MP3 decoder chokes on MP2 data, it's broken.

Neither did I until a hack was suggested. Look for 'nuvexport corrupts video'
in this month's list for the solution that helped me.

Back to radio, I tried creating a new channel and assign the audio pid of a
radio station to it but it all goes very stuttery, particularly the video to
the point where the OSD crashes the frontend.

Example:

I used price-drop.tv as the base video channel and used the audio PID of Radio
4 which is on the same mux. I get the video of price-drop.tv jumping all over
and as expected the audio for Radio 4 but it keeps dropping out. If I look at
the console output for mythfrontend it keeps complaining about lost audio.

I thought it might be a signal problem but all the TV channels on that mux are
fine.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

I'm only guessing but you asked for ideas, do you have the 'Keep Audio

this do it?

Re: DVB Radio [In reply to]

Hmm, this is stirring memories!

I use the UK Sutton Coldfield transmitter. I've set my Radio 1 channel to
use the 'five' channels video stream. I think I chose this because the DVB
settings where the 'closest' match - i.e. I wasn't recording from two
sources with different QAM/GUARD_INTERVAL/etc..

My Radio 1 / 'five' data (from the dvb-apps 'scan' utility) looks like this:

BBC Radio 1:
682166670:
INVERSION_AUTO:
BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:
FEC_2_3:
FEC_1_2:
QAM_64:
TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:
GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:
HIERARCHY_NONE:
0:
6210:
14336

five:
682166670:
INVERSION_AUTO:
BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:
FEC_2_3:
FEC_1_2:
QAM_64:
TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:
GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:
HIERARCHY_NONE:
6017:
6018:
12866

i.e. a pretty close match. Try using a PID from a 'close' match to Radio 4.

Sorry for the bitty response - it was configured quite a while ago!

Indeed. Living in Sweden we'll probably get DAB, so if that's
possible to recieve with my AverTV 771 DVB-T card I'd like to propose
a decoder for it as well.

One issue I had when DVB radio support was added was needing to ensure
the recording profile (via mythtv-setup) was NOT set to 'TV' for the
card. Using the 'TV' profile requires at least 1 video stream to be
present, which my UK-based DVB-T radion recordings do not have,
causing any recordings and LiveTV listening to fail. Setting the
profile to 'All' cured this.

Do you happen to know where in the db to change this? (No current
physical/VNC access to my server... otherwise I can give that a try
this weekend).

SELECT * FROM `codecparams` WHERE `name`= 'recordingtype';

gives me the (4 DVB) profiles I have manually configured in
mythtv-setup to record all streams. The codecparams.value is set to
'all' for the DVB profiles.

No rows in that table. I'll give it a shot this weekend and report back.

Re: DVB Radio [In reply to]

I'm running 0.20 with 2 dvb-t tuners (freecom twinhan wideview clones) and
it picks up dvb radio over the UK's freeview system with no problems
whatsoever.

I use nuvexport to reencode them to mp3 only.

Only issue I had was getting the data, but I just hadn't ticked the right
boxes for over the air epg data.

1. I cannot find anything about recording profiles in mythtv-setup.
Could you maybe tell me the menu structure to look under?

2. Under recording profiles in mythfrontend (in the options section)
there are only options about "Recording Type" which lists "Normal,"
"Tv Only", and "Audio Only." Mine was set up on "Normal".

3. When I try to change to a DVB radio channel, the backend log says this:
"2007-01-21 15:04:04.459 DTVSM(0) Error: We want 0 audio and 1 video streams
But have 1 audio and 0 video streams"

Any ideas?

Sorry - you found the setting I meant in the frontend settings below.
I must have imagined it was in mythtv-setup.

If set to 'Normal', all streams should be recorded. However, there is
a trac ticket (http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2300) concerning
where DVB radio fails even if your recording profile is set to
'Normal' . The ticket states the problem the ticket submitted was
having was fixed in revision 11815. Which version of MythTV are you
using?

# mythbackend --version

That's the message I was getting until I reverted back from 'TV' to
'Normal' - this gives the value of 'all' in the database I mentioned
earlier in the thread - and I've not had a problem since.

No worries. The setup and config menus are my only complaint with
myth currently :)

All DVB profiles are set to normal (although I only use default) and
have been since setup/install. The table you referenced above still
has zero total records in it.
