Satellite radio broadcast?

Question

VLC

The task was to broadcast one of the satellite radio channels (bring the stream to icecast, which will do everything on its own). The machine under this business on ubuntu. The options that I found by broadcasting: vlc, vdr, getstream, astra.
- As usual, I didn’t figure it out with vlc - I was never lucky to do something with it. in particular does not want to haw dvb parameters. Yes, and I don’t like his congestion and monstrosity, which is why I’m not willing to understand.
- set vdr, but it seems to me that it is somewhat redundant for the task of broadcasting one channel.
- I liked getstream the most, but there are nuances with an almost complete lack of documentation and periodic stream freezes. I think that this is because of the mega-small http buffer.
- astra is similar, only worse in terms of http buffer. And it's also not so good with the documentation.
How to be? What else can you pay attention to? How to convert mpeg-ts?

Answer 1

The manual for setting up the VLC + icecast radio was on opennet, it works without problems and is stable.
If VLC doesn't find anything, specify dvb-lnb-*. For preliminary check it is more convenient to use scan from dvb-apps.
Video the same VLC can convert and stream.

Answer 2

It's strange that there were problems with getstream.
Google finds so many forums and instructions on it that you can either ask a question or get a ready answer right away.
IMHO getstream is the best of the options.

Answer 3

In general, I figured out the problem. It turned out that the signal from the satellite was not very well received, hence a lot of errors. It turned out to set up a completely different antenna with a converter in a completely different place and everything worked out.
As a result, I started a bunch of astra + udpshout + icecast. He refused to broadcast directly from astra, because I would have to somehow pull out the mpeg stream from mpeg-ts, but udpshout does it by itself.
