Seems Turkish DAB was switched off. Digitalbitrate.com has not received it for Months.

For GSE there is an alternative to the existing pts2bbf | bbfedi2eti:

https://github.com/digris/digris-edi-zmq-bridge

This is the code for the 2 bundesmuxes on 23.5E:

1. first tune with tune-s2 with a PCIe internal card (tested with TBS 6903x), others do NOT work:
   tune-s2 12641 V 1500 -system DVB-S2 -lnb UNIVERSAL -modulation 8PSK -fec 2/3 -s ts -tsraw -b

2. in a second console stream it to internal port 5000:
   dvbstream -c 0 8192 -i 127.0.0.1 -r 5000

3. in a third console process the EDI and send it to internal port 8971:
   digris-edimcast2edi -m 127.0.0.1 -p 5000 -b 127.0.0.1 -G 1 -l 8971

4. in a forth console use dablin_gtk from port 8971:
   nc 127.0.0.1 8971 | dablin_gtk -f edi

I've tested it and it works!

Many thanks to Yoann from digris for the explanation of the correct syntax.

But for MPE you need to send the parameter -udp in dvbstream

[YoannQueret]

@andimik here an example for the MPE with the digris-edimcast2edi for the French Metropolitain 1 on 5°W, 11461H Symbol rate 5780 FEC 2/3 in QPSK/DVB-S2 with PID 301 - mcast 239.0.1.11:5001

digris-edimcast2edi -m 127.0.0.1 -p 5000 -l 8901 -F 301:239.0.1.11:5001

Please use the next branch of digris-edi-zmq-bridge

[andimik]

This is the syntax for MPE:

1. tune-s2 12168 V 27500 -system DVB-S -lnb UNIVERSAL -modulation QPSK -fec 2/3
2. dvbstream -udp -c 0 8192 -i 127.0.0.1 -r 5000
3. digris-edimcast2edi -m 127.0.0.1 -p 5000 -l 8901 -F 4121:239.128.43.43:50043
4. nc 127.0.0.1 8901 | dablin_gtk -f edi

I see that BundesMUX 1 & 2 are up again at 23.5º East 12168 V.

[andimik]

Yes, they are, but - obviously - still testing. In the last week there were lots of dropouts on 12168V, whereas the GSE signal was OK.

[jpuigs]

I can't receive ERT DAB+ on HellasSat 39E at 12242 H.
It seems PID 1010 has dissapeared.

I've tried the other ERT Tp. 12224 H, nut it's not here....

[jpuigs]

It's back again............

[EnoSat]

Hi. Is the stream available in TS and for which broadcaster is it intended?
e.g.

root@osmio4kplus:~# wget http://localhost:8001/1:0:2:21FD:1:10:64ABD4:0:0:0: -q -O- | fedi2eti 701 239.232.1.201 2048 | ni2out --list
using pid 701 ip 239.232.1.201 port 2048
Initialise next pseq to 59890

Ensemble: Salisbury (0xc1d8)
...

[andimik]

The provider is BFBS. Although they own other smaller licenses too, only Salisbury is on satellite.

Yes, it is TS (=not GSE), but you need DVB-S2 compatible hardware, which you for sure have.

https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11221&liste=1&live=97&lang=en

https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11221-SALISBURY&liste=1&live=695&lang=en

[EnoSat]

My question was not about Salisbury, but Camp Hill (1d290202) vs Buford Camp (1d290303). Is this information available in TS?

[andimik]

Of course not. You are talking about TII (transmitter identification ID). This will be added on transmitter side, the code can be found in the null symbol.

BTW: please forget the word TS when you are talking about DAB. It has nothing to do with DVB.

[YoannQueret]

Are you able to tune the 2 bundesmuxes on 23.5E ?

Not work today :
tune-s2 12641 V 1500 -system DVB-S2 -lnb UNIVERSAL -modulation 8PSK -fec 2/3

[EnoSat]

YoannQueret It seems that 12641V has been turned off and maybe continuing on 19E 11606V


12642V is still broadcasting something but it probably won't be in DVB format

andimik What should be the correct name for the data stream on pid 701 ?

[andimik]

Seems you mean the Mux on 10E 11221V

https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11221-SALISBURY&liste=1&live=695&lang=en

Here you find the content. If you want to listen to it, you can find the information in the Readme.

Regarding 23.5E, I will check next week, but seems they left even earlier than expected.

[EnoSat]

I know what pid 201 contains, but what to call this data if not TS
