Dvbsnoop is just a simple tool to analyze, view or debug a | |
transport stream (TS), program elementary stream (PES) or even | |
a program stream (PS). Dvbsnoop is trying to get input mostly | |
direct from a frontend (satellite or cable tuner inside a | |
set-top box for example) via DVB APIv3 to view into a TS, or a | |
demux to view PES or PS (also mostly inside the set-top box or | |
even PCI Card or USB Plug) but also from a file (recorded TS). | |
Dvbsnoop is working well on SD transport streams but may have | |
some limited functionality on HD transport streams | |
(DVB-{C,S,T}2 because of missing knowledge how to handle it. | |
Dvbsnoop itself doesn't do the tuning on the frontend, this | |
has to be done by external helpers or manually driver call. | |
The dvbsnoop tool was written while developing the software | |
Neutrino on the set-top box DBox2. | |
