Access unreferenced Pids in MPTS

Post by ballpeen »

One of the local stations should be putting an unreferenced pid in their OTA MPTS. Does the HdHr forward unreferenced pids when using hdhomerun_config and sending the full MPTS over IP?

You can specify any PIDs or PID ranges you want, or get the full mux delivered.

If you tune by virtual channel or specify a program number the HDHomeRun will set the PID filter automatically for that sub-channel and regenerate the PAT so you get a SPTS.

If you tune by frequency / physical channel only the HDHomeRun will default to passing all PIDs, referenced or not.

Best is to explicitly set a PID filter to exclude padding frames:
hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX set /tuner0/filter 0x0000-0x1FFE
hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX set /tuner0/channel 25
hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX save /tuner0 ch25.ts

Example of a more complicated filter:
hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX set /tuner0/filter "0x0000 0x0030-0x003F 0x0911 0x1FFB"
