1. General behavior
MuMuDVB needs a configuration file in order to run properly.
The order of the parameters is most of the times not relevant.
You can put comments everywhere in the configuration file: just start the line with #
. In line comments are not allowed i.e. port=1234 #The multicast port
is not a valid line.
All parameters are in the form: name=value
#The tuning frequency
freq=11987
The configuration file contains two parts
1.1. Common part
This is the first part of the configuration file, it contains the parameters needed for tuning the DVB card or configuring input source and the global parameters.
See the tuning section for the list of parameters used to tune the card. and other global parameters section for configuring input source(s) and other parameters like autoconfiguration, cam support etc …
1.2. Channels part
If you are not using autoconfiguration you need to set the list of the channels you want to stream.
Each channel start with an new_channel
line.
new_channel
name=Barcelona TV
unicast_port=8090
pids=272
new_channel
ip=239.100.0.0
port=1234
name=Barcelona TV
pids=272 256 257 258
See channel parameters section for a list of detailed parameters.
2. Example configuration files
You can find documented examples in the directory doc/configuration_examples
3. Parameters concerning the tuning of the card
Note
|
You can use w_scan to see the channels you can receive see w_scan section. Otherwise you can have a look at the initial tuning files given with linuxtv’s dvb-apps. For european satellite users, you can have a look at King Of Sat |

[[getpids]]
Get the PID numbers
-------------------
You use autoconfiguration
If you use autoconfiguration, you don’t need to specify any channel and don’t need any PID, this section does not concern you.
4.11. You do not use autoconfiguration
It is strongly advised to use autoconfiguration as the PIDs may change and manual PID setting need to maintain them. If you don’t use autoconfiguration because of limitations of the autoconfiguration system pleas contact so we can see how to fix that.
If you don’t use autoconfiguration (see the README), you have to get the PIDs (Program Identifier) for each channel.
For each channel it is advised to specify at least : - One video PID (except for radios) - One audio PID - The PMT PID - The PCR PID (if different from video/audio)
If you don’t have access to the PIDs via a website like King Of Sat, the easiest way is to use linuxtv’s dvb-apps or w_scan.
You don’t know on which frequency to tune and the channels you can receive. In this case, you can use w_scan or using scan from dvb-apps if you have an initial tuning config file.
4.11.1. Using w_scan to get an initial tuning file
Note
|
w_scan works for DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S/S2 and ATSC. |
You can find wscan in the w_scan website - German or w_scan website - English translation.
w_scan have one disavantage over dvb-apps scan: it takes (usually) more time. But it have several advantages: no need for initial tuning file, card autodection and deeper channel search.
Once you compiled it (optional for x86), launch it with the options needed (country is mandatory for terrestrial and cable. for DVB-S/S2 you need to specify your satellite)
Note
|
Here’s the main options for w_scan |
-f type frontend type
What programs do you want to search for?
a = atsc (vsb/qam)
c = cable
s = sat
t = terrestrian [default]

Your will get lines channels with the file format described here
If you want to use autoconfiguration, this contains all the parameters you need. For example the second row is the frequency.
4.11.2. Using scan with an initial tuning file
Note
|
With satellite this allow you to find all the frequencies (if the broadcaster follow the norm). Because, every transponder announces the others. |
If you don’t know where to find the inital tuning file, recent versions of scan give the default locations by calling scan without arguments.
You need scan
from linuxtv’s dvb-apps
Type
scan -o pids pathtoyourinitialtuningfile
You’ll first get blocks like
>>> tune to: 514000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_2_3:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_4:HIERARCHY_NONE
0x0000 0x7850: pmt_pid 0x0110 Barcelona TV -- Barcelona TV (running)
0x0000 0x7851: pmt_pid 0x0710 COM Radio -- COM Radio (running)
0x0000 0x7855: pmt_pid 0x0210 TV L'Hospitalet -- TV L'Hospitalet (running)
0x0000 0x7856: pmt_pid 0x0510 Radio Hospitalet -- Radio Hospitalet (running)
0x0000 0x785a: pmt_pid 0x0310 Televisio Badalona -- Televisio Badalona (running)
0x0000 0x785b: pmt_pid 0x0610 Radio Ciutat Badalona -- Radio Ciutat Badal
You have now acces to the PMT PID (in hexadecimal)
After this blocks, you’ll get lines like
Sensacio FM (0x273f) 02: PCR == A A 0x0701
urBe TV (0x7864) 01: PCR == V V 0x0300 A 0x0301 (cat)
Canal Catala Barcelona (0x7869) 01: PCR == V V 0x0200 A 0x0201 (cat)
25 TV (0x786e) 01: PCR == V V 0x0400 A 0x0401 (spa) TT 0x0402
ONDA RAMBLA PUNTO RADIO (0x786f) 02: PCR == A A 0x0601 (cat)
Localia (0x7873) 01: PCR == V V 0x0100 A 0x0101
ONA FM (0x7874) 02: PCR == A A 0x0501
TV3 (0x0321) 01: PCR == V V 0x006f A 0x0070 (cat) 0x0072 (vo) 0x0074 (ad) TT 0x0071 AC3 0x0073 SUB 0x032b
You have now acces to the other PIDs
MuMuDVB wants the PIDs in decimal, so you have to convert the pids from hexadecimal to decimal.
4.11.3. Scan only one transponder
You first have to tune the card on the wanted frequency (with tune
, szap
or tzap
for example).
After you use the scan utility:
scan -o pids -c -a 0
Where 0
is the card number
And you’ll get results like in the section scan with an initial tuning file
