I have always used my 6925 with either TSREADER directly or through Crazyscan, eventually feeding TSREADER, and I have done ALL my recording via TSREADER.
Since I got the 6925 I have never tried using their TBS-Recorder program, but yesterday I downloaded the new version of that program, and today I gave it a try. It looks like a nice program in some respects. It gives a lot of nice info about the mux being tuned for example. I then went to try recording a program. As usual, I tried on the 12180 mux on AMC1.
I immediately noticed that I couldn't find any way to select a channel to record, but I told it to record anyway. What I discovered was that it recorded the whole mux, rather than just one (first) channel as I had suspected.
My first question is, for anyone who uses this TBS-Record program, is there any way to select a channel to record???
I then took the file I recorded, and tried to play it with VLC. It played the first of the 7 channels.
I then looked through the VLC preferences, and eventually found a way to select which channel to play, selected channel 5, and it played the 3rd channel, ie SID5=HD03. So this was a somewhat clumsy, but acceptable way to play just one of the channels.
I then tried to play the channel with SMPLAYER, which is a front end for the Windows version of the mplayer program. When I played it in SMPLAYER, again, it played the first channel. However on looking through both the preferences and command line options for mplayer, I couldn't find any option that would allow me to select a program number.
Many months ago, when I was trying to use mplayer in Linux, I seem to remember running into the same issue, in the mplayer would just randomly play one of several channels on a mux. At that time I think I found some command line option that I thought would select a program number, but it didn't work.
So the second question is, in SMPLAYER or MPLAYER, is there any way to select what channel to play in a file with multiple channels????
I'd really like it if there was some way to make the TBS-Recorder record a single program, or the whole mux if that was desired though, but I don't see any way to do that.
