    HI ALL

    I need your help to understand this problem.

    The requirement is that the Operator is taking the broadcast signal from the satelllite. He is filtering out EIT table from the signal and giving it to us on a Multicast IP stream. ( MPEG-TS over IP)

    Now i need to Filter this Multicast packet and parse the EIT table from it.

    Currently, I am able to Parse a TS file from the harddisk( test.ts) and extract the EPG information out of it.

    But that would not solve my problem since i need to parse directly from multicast ip and its a live stream.

    Even if write a code to capture the multicast ip and store in a ts and then parse using my utility. then i am I am confused on

    1. how much data should i capture from the live stream and store in a ts fille
    2. How do i simultaneosuly write into a file and also parse the same ts file to get the EPG information


    ALso is there any software tool that can Capture IP packet and get me the Section data based on my filter.

    I searched and found DVBsnoop does something but its for DVB-C/S/T only not for MPEG-TS over IP. I want something for MPEG-TS over ip

    Can someone help me how i should go about doing this.

    Thanks and Regards

    Ok, for starters you have lost most everybody with the title to your post and then you have completely lost the rest in the description of your problem. All I can see from what you say is that you are rebroadcasting a service to further users and would wish to somehow integrate the operators service into your platform so you can transmit to your users. Having designed many different types of networks and concluded inter-operability agreements with various operators the answer to your question is simple. Ask the operator that you inter-operate with for a complete specification of their data packets and then you can incorporate this into your design so you can feed your users the information you wish to deliver. It would be madness to think that any user on this forum could supply you with the information you need
