[slim] Re: dvbshout - streaming a complete DVB-T or DVB-S multiplex!

very interesting Florca, good to hear you got it all working reliably.
The only down side of DVB-x vs DAB is the lack of local stations...but
then again, i never listen to them anyway :)

I'm most jealous.  Do you know of a Windows solution to DVB
broadcasting?  Bitrates of DVB are higher than DAB, so I'd be keen to
see if they sound alright outside of my PC.

Florca,

Congratulations on your work so far!  I am very interested in the DVB-S
solution as we can not (fortunately) get DAB.  Can you give further
details as they become available as the ‘debian’ link does not seem to
work.

Cheers

Some answers...

1) The Debian link. I'm not sure why this doesn't work for you but I
can reach it fine from my browser. I'm pretty sure it's not an
official Debian package (a bit like Slimserver...) but I found it as
the 3rd link on a Google of Debian dvbshout. As you'll see below I'm
far from an expert at this but the wget package listed on this
sponsor page seems to work for me. The direct link to the package is
wget:
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~bresser/dvbshout/dvbshout_0.2-1_i386.deb
.

2) Windows This is my first direct experience of any type of Linux.
As per the first post my setup so far has consisted of an (ancient, very
noisy) Win 98SE system with a Wavefinder and DABBar and my main desktop
system running XP SP2. As the Wavefinder won't work with SP2 and
current Slimservers won't work with Win98 something had to give, so I
thought I'd give Ubuntu a go - partly to see if all the hype was
justified. I'm a total convert, although I have to admit there's a
pretty steep learning curve. You can easily / cheaply get an old
Pentium 3 type system (my local council tip has them by the skip-load,
or try ebay if you want a more conventional routeg). It's taken me a
couple of weeks (most evenings) to get it working but having done it I
can't imagine any reason to revert to a Windows-based server system.
The kid's games prevent me from converting the XP desktop to Ubuntu
Desktop, otherwise I'd be sorely tempted. Before going down this route
I did a lot of searching into Windows based alternatives but couldn't
find any with the same set of Slimserver / DVB Radio streaming
options.

If you want to follow the same path I suggest starting with Ubuntu
Desktop to get familiar then, if you want to strip things down / speed
things up a bit, start again with the server version. The server has
quite a long list of packages you need to add to get up and running but
it all seems to slot together pretty neatly.

Brgds
Phil
