XMMS DVB Input Plugin is a plugin designed for XMMS users possessing a DVB-S PCI adapter. It enables them to utilize the satellite digital video broadcast functionality available within XMMS.
XMMS DVB Input Plugin is a powerful plugin for XMMS designed to cater to users with a DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcast/Satellite) PCI adapter supported by the driver from LinuxTV. With this plugin, you can easily record and receive audio streams from your adapter.
The plugin works by decompressing incoming MPEG-1 layer II audio data and feeding it to XMMS. XMMS can then process the audio in any way it pleases. Additionally, the plugin can optionally write the original MPEG stream to a file for later use.
Moreover, the plugin allows you to automatically split recordings either by predefined intervals or whenever the energy level drops below a configurable amount for a user-defined duration. All this makes it an excellent tool for archiving and processing audio streams.
To use XMMS DVB Input Plugin, you need a few things: a DVB-S PCI adapter (obviously), the driver from LinuxTV (version 1.0.0-pre2 or later), X MultiMedia System (version 1.2.7), and the Lame MP3 library (libmp3lame).
The latest version of this plugin comes with several updates and fixes. First, it fixes some minor bugs that were found in the previous release. Additionally, it adds support for retrieval and display of Electronic Program Guide (EPG) information for the selected service (if it is provided by the broadcaster).
Overall, XMMS DVB Input Plugin is a reliable and efficient plugin that meets the needs of users with DVB-S PCI adapters. It's easy to use, and its features make it a valuable tool for anyone who wants to record and process audio streams.
