Hi all,

A long time ago I added a bunch of features to dvbstream, and I've hosted the code for a long time at https://www.orcas.net/dvbstream/

I made a bunch of subsequent changes to it I never published (including 16-APSK support for DVB-S2) and have been using it again recently as one of the few tools which can actually handle 100Mbit of transponder throughput. I've also verified it works with modern DVB-S2X (TBS receivers).

Does anyone have any interest in me publishing the more recent updates to it?

When I tried the original dvbstream 0.5 in Vu Solo 4K, the original transponder containing 204 pids was able to save only 32 pids (but this is probably a HW restriction of the device), although he allowed to enter up to 128 pids (but then stored nothing). Higher value caused the application to fall.

I could easily fix that, but are you aware you can put 8192 to just record all pids?

I think 8192 only support USB devices in Enigma :cry:

Oh, you're using it to receive on a multicast address and write to a file? I was talking about using it to tune a DVB device directly.

I could still fix the issue you're talking about too. Have you tried my version?
