Hi all,
I an using ProgDVB and prog media server to broadcast in multicast mode to a private network. I broadcast one chanel or the full TS.
I can receive very well the stream with VLC.
But I would like to broadcast not only the video, but also the OSD.
I plan to remote the chanel change with an Amino STB.
Can you tell me how to do it ?
many thanks.

No. It is impossible. But I plan better Amino support

Technically, and as the name tells, OSD is NOT part of a video stream.
Instead it is created and inserted by the component, that decodes the video and other data, then inserts processed data to the decoded picture.
Normally OSD is processed on the client side, inserted by the codec / renderer stage.

In fact it would be possible, to insert some kind of OSD on server side, but this would require full de- and re-encoding in real time there, causing very heavy CPU load and several seconds of delay and noticeable quality loss and / or increasing traffic on the output. Delicate studio equipment may do this pretty good, but our PC electronics won't.

Hi,
many thanks for your reply.
In the first time, I will try to remote Progdvb from an Amino STB.
as we can remote from command line, I will do it with a HTTP server, I will send the Amino remote IR command to a PHP page and will send remote order trought DOS command line.
But when I remote ProgDVB from DOS command line, it's take a long time to change progdvb . Don't you have a faster way t do it ?

regards.

Does this effect ALL controls or only numeric channel changes?

Number entries will be delayed to allow entering more digits.
The channel change will then be executed automatically after the OSD hold time (defined) is over, or immediately after sending the execute control (/Exec).

Other controls, like mute (/Mute), should work without a delay.

Hello,
if I use the keyboard, the change commande are very fast.
but if I use the dos commande line as :

"c:\program files\prgdvb\progdvbnet.exe\Chplus" it's take about 6 seconde.
is it not du to the fact that we have each time to start again "progdvbnet.exe" ?
I would like to have the same delay as with the keyboard.

is it possible to telnet dvbprog ?

regards
