sharing HDTV recorded shows over a network

[gossman]

All,

I am trying to 'share' my recorded shows over my network. I looked at BTV link, but my machine in my rec room is an older 'homegrown' machine that I pieced together over the years... thus I don't have permission (nor do I really want) to spend the $$$ to buy MS Windows.

So, I installed Suse 10.2 and freevo. I have it configured and such to look on my BTV HTPC connected to my HDTV in the living room. Now, this machine is BTV 4.6, with a Hauppauge HVR-1600 (dual tuner: one HDTV ATSC and one S-Video/Stereo Audio off my satellite) capture card.

All the recordings from the S-Video are fine. But the HDTV ATSC shows (ending with a .ts) are not. I recorded the MLS game off of ABC last thursday, and when I play back the show on the freevo box via mplayer, I hear the audio, I just see a weather picture. However, if I fire up BTV and play the recorded show... I see the real deal.

So, here is my question..... Has anybody a similar setup, and if so, what program can play a .ts (a transport stream) file on linux? I have tried mplayer, xine, and xmovie with no success.

Streamsnip it.

The problem is that your application is seeing one of the subchannels. One thing about TS is that they include all the sub-channels, not just the one you chose to record.

If you streamsnip, it will get rid of the 'bad' ones and only keep the good ones.

I found VLC to work well! You may have to select the particular stream once you open the file, though.

Is there a way to streamsnip automatically with BTV 4.6?

And, what is a good program to streamsnip with?

I am not sure streamsnipping will do the job for you, you may want to try it on one program first.

That is exactly what streamsnip is intended to do. It will cut the extra video streams out of the program.
