Any DVB-S player for linux?

[msd79m]

I am wondering if there is a high-end and simple DVB-S player for linux that supports CCCAM cardsharing.

VLC works fine but I couldn't find a way to use it for scrambled channels (e.g. using CCCAM card sharing)

Thanks, but isn't this section a subsection of dvb-cards? I cannot create a new thread in the link you provided.

VDR is the most famous.

I tried it but I couldn't get my SkyStar2 work with that (front-end problem). Also I wonder if it supports CCCAM.

I don't have problem with SS2's driver. As mentioned in the thread you pointed, SS2 is automatically detected by Ubuntu. Even I could use it with VLC. My problem is that I haven't been able to find a easy-to-install and easy-to-use DVB application for Linux which also supports cccam card sharing.

Windows-like DVB programs for Linux, there is basically none. But VDR is not so hard to set up even if you're a newbie in Linux. Version over 1.7.x can handle Cccam.

I could setup VDR as the back-end. I tried to use X-VDR as its front-end but it crashes. I also tried MythTV as front-end but it's unstable, too. It shows very few channels. It's good to know that VDR supports CCCAM though. I will try to test it again.

Re: Any DVB-S player for linux?

But the scrubling of vlc is rhen you have high ecm time, if you have good ecm i'm record sometimes without any scrambling

Sorry I couldn't get it. You mean VLC can open and record scrambled channels without a plugin?

I think that you can set mythtv to use here interface with an external player like vlc that is more stable

Do you have a documentation link for this? I think it's only possible with MythTV back-end (not front-end).

Re: Any DVB-S player for linux?

I could finally install and configure vdr on ubuntu. Here is a quick tutorial for reference:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install and configure VDR on Ubuntu 11.04

This tutorial is for budget dvb cards (a dvb card without hardware decoder like SkyStar2).

1. Install vdr and dvb-apps:

$ sudo apt-get install vdr dvb-apps vdr-plugin-xineliboutput

2. Open /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.xineliboutput.conf in your editor:

$ sudo nano /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.xineliboutput.conf

3. Its content should be:

--local=none
--primery
--remote=127.0.0.1:37890

4. Stop vdr service:

$ sudo service vdr stop

5. Scan channels using dvb-apps. For example:

$ scan -o vdr -e 6 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > channels.conf

6. Copy channels.conf to /var/lib/vdr:

$ sudo cp channels.conf /var/lib/vdr

7. For keyboard key bindings, you need to create a remote.conf file in /var/lib/vdr with proper content. Copy the supplied example file to this path and modify it based on your needs:

$ sudo cp /usr/share/doc/vdr-plugin-xineliboutput/examples/remote.conf.example /var/lib/vdr/remote.conf

8. Start vdr service:

$ sudo service vdr start

9. Run vdr front-end:

$ vdr-sxfe

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 7th step was my major problem!

Re: Any DVB-S player for linux?

I have a problem with cccam installation for vdr. Indeed I don't know how I should do that. I couldn't find a good tutorial as well as the installation package for Ubuntu. Please advise

1. Sorry. vdr is the name of a Linux DVB applications which is the abbreviation of Video Disk Recorder. If you have had a look at previous posts of this thread, you would know it.
2. Again, you haven't read the previous posts of this thread! There is a lot of tutorials for installing ubuntu cccam server but I want to setup a cccam client plugin on vdr so that I can watch scrambled channels on my Ubuntu. I checked again but couldn't find your referred threads.
