Kernel:Device Drivers:Multimedia

• DVB Driver Project
  
  DVB Driver Project provides drivers for DVB cards by many manufacturers (e.g., Hauppauge WinTV DVB-s and WinTV Nova, Siemens, Technotrend, Galaxis, and Technisat). It supports DVB-s, DVB-t, and DVB-c.

Mac OS X:Drivers

• MMInputFamily
  
  family has been created to support multimedia input devices such as Digital TV cards. It is called the 'MultiMedia Input Family' because its use is not restricted to Digital TV applications alone: DVB and its cousins like ATSC promise all sorts of other media goodies, such as interactive TV shows (vote with your remote), IP over the air (internet downloads), data channels (weather/stockmarket), near video on demand (movie starts every half hour), and many others.

• TVheadend
  
  Tvheadend is a streaming server/relay supporing a variety of sources and multiple output formats. It is primarily intended to be used for receiving TV (DVB, Analog, IPTV) and to transmit it using a number of different output formats to subscribers. Together with powerful DVR (Digital Video Recorder) features, an advanced EPG and a web-interface it can be used as a TV distribution hub.

Projects

• Video Disk Recorder
  
  describes how to build your own digital satellite receiver and video disk recorder. It is based mainly on the DVB-S digital satellite receiver card available from Fujitsu Siemens and the driver software developed by the LinuxTV project

• ModVB
  
  ModVB is a Apache module which aims to provide an ASP/VBScript/JScript compatibility layer for your web-pages. In other words it allows you to run with none or little modifications your ASP pages on your Linux server running Apache.

Software:Multimedia:MP3:XMMS Plugins

• XMMS DVB Input Plugin
  
  XMMS DVB Input Plugin is for users with a DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcast/Satellite) PCI adapter supported by the driver from LinuxTV to receive and record audio streams from this adapter.

• fzap
  
  fzap is a channel zapping program for dvbs-cards that supports nvod/linkage zap and audio zap.

• LinVDR
  
  LinVDR is a small, lightweight, ready-to-run and easy-to-install distribution of VDR which can turn almost any PC with a DVB-s (digital satellite) card into a digital hard disk recorder.

• Me TV
  
  Me TV is a GNOME desktop application for watching digital television services that use the DVB standard. Me TV works with DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S and ATSC cards that have kernel driver support. Me TV reads the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data that is transmitted over the air to populate a built-in program guide which can be used for scheduling recordings.

• TV Mosaic
  
  TV Mosaic is a simple application, based based on MPlayer and ImageMagick, that gives a mosaic view of the TV channels from a DVB tuner. It allows you to get a clear and convenient overview of current TV broadcasts without manual zapping. After channels scan a simple click on relevant capture plays the channel.

• Mumudvb
  
  Mumudvb is a program that redistributes streams from DVB on a network using multicast or HTTP unicast. Its main feature is to multicast a whole DVB transponder by assigning each channel a different multicast Group.

• tv grab dvb
  
  tv grab dvb decodes EPG (electronic program guide) TV listings from DVB (digital video broadcast) and outputs them in XMLTV format.

Software:Multimedia:Tools:Streaming

• dvbyell
  
  dvbyell is a streaming solution for DVB(-S/-S2/-C/-T). It will read streams from Linux DVB devices (/dev/dvb/*) and send them to the network using UDP multicast. This kind of software is often referred to as "DVB to IP gateway" or "IPTV server".

Software:Multimedia:Video:Stream Processing

• dvb-mpegtools
  
  dvb-mpegtools provides various small programs helpful for converting, demuxing, changing, analyzing, and remuxing MPEG transport streams coming from DVB receiver cards.

• dvbshout
  
  dvbshout takes an MPEG transport stream from a DVB card, extracts audio channels from stream, and sends the audio to an Icecast / Shoutcast server. It had only been tested with DVB-S, but should also work with DVB-C and DVB-T.

• DVBStreamer
  
  DVBStreamer is an console based application to stream an entire DVB service over UDP. It differs from other DVB streaming applications by the use of the DVB-SI to work out the PIDs to stream and correctly stream services which use a separate PCR PID.

• DVB Remote Key Editor
  
  DVB Remote Key Editor is a tool to edit the usually hard-coded keymaps of Linux's DVB-T USB kernel modules. It binary patches the module with the new keymap. No recompilation of the kernel is required.

• dvbackup
  
  dvbackup encapsulates arbitrary files into a raw DV data stream suitable for writing on a DV tape.

• dvbcut
  
  dvbcut is a Qt application that allows you to select certain parts of an MPEG transport stream (as received via Digital Video Broadcasting, DVB) and save these parts into a single MPEG output file. It follows a "keyhole surgery" approach where the input video and audio data is mostly kept unchanged, and only very few frames at the beginning and/or end of the selected range are re-encoded in order to obtain a valid MPEG file.

• dvbsnoop
  
  dvbsnoop is a DVB / MPEG stream analyzer program, which enables you to watch (live) stream information in human readable form.

• Open-DVB
  
  Open-DVB is an open implementation of digital video broadcasting (DVB) distributed under the BSD license. The purpose of this application is to serve as a benchmark for our compiler system.
