PNR auto filter

[odehalaa]

Hi all, Please I need to ask if possible to auto filter the pids by request only by set the pnr ?

Best Regards

Hi,

It's a good idea. I've been thinking about implementing it for some time.

Hi @catalinii ,

Because I don't have sufficient knowlegment of the PMT processing inside minisatip, perhaps you will want to implement this:

• When a user adds this to any SAT>IP request &pnr=XXX then the idea is to do automatically these actions:
  1. add the pid=0 to the pid list (to read the PAT) if it isn't inside the current pid list.
  2. when reading the PAT table (I feel you allways do it) search for the program with sid=pnr and if it's found then get the PMT pid and add it to the list of active pids.
  3. finally read the PMT table and add all pids of this program to the pid list.

The idea is to not remove or close any pid automatically. Only add the pids readed from the PMT. This will be useful for a direct program selection with clients like VideoLAN. Or to add all pids of a program automatically if you're using a simple pid list with only the PMT and main video and audio pids.

I feel it could be easy because the actions of reading the PAT and PMT tables are already implement. What you think?

I vote no. This is minisatip, not megasatip.

I vote no. This is minisatip, not megasatip.

I see that you want to maintain the size and foodprint small. And I agree with you. 😉 Anyway most of the code is already implemented: PAT and PMT processing (because the CI and DVBAPI support). So adding a simple parameter to add some pids that are already processed at some point could be a lightweight task. And in this case, why not?
