OBS to Portsdown batch file for mpeg2 ?

[G4WIM]

Hi,

I seem to have mislaid my windows batch file to use the IPTS input on the Portsdown with an mpeg2 TS from OBS.

H264 is no problem but for our local 24cm repeater it needs mpeg2 for a 2MS signal.

Does anyone have a copy they could send me or point me toward where I might find one ?

Also details of the OBS profile would be useful as well.

Ok seems like I never had a batch file to convert OBS to Portsdown for H262 - only had one for vMix which uses NDI output.

So just for fun I installed the NDI plug in for OBS and tried the vMix to OBS batch file. Th batch file seems to be running ok and producing a stream but no sign of video.

However looking at the TS from ffmpeg on VLC I get just colour bars so guess there's an input mismatch somewhere.

this is my edited file i am using

OBS_PortsdownExtendedSR+FEC.rar

(1.97 KiB) Downloaded 365 times

setting done for
dvb-s2/QPSK FEC 1/4,1/3,3/5,8/9,9/10
dvbs-s/QPSK FEC 1/2,2/3,3/4,5/6,7/8
SR's 66 , 125 ,250, 333, 500 , 1000 , 2000 , 4000

this is still very much a work in progress. i've just added extra variables to it from the original
this is the bitrate calculator

hope it helps

Thanks for the batch file - I was just about to post that I'd found what the problem is with NDI on OBS, basically prefixes the ndi stream the name of the PC which causes dshow to choke - so your batch file may get me out of this hole !

However could you provide the settings you use on OBS for the recording output as mine doesn't seem to work.

The batch file finds the OBS stream and runs ok but the MT rx doesn't decode the stream - so I guess its an OBS recording output setting.

Many thanks again, Tim

edit I had my OBS output set to H264, switching it to mpeg2video has resulted in getting the meta data but no video so far - strangely MT rx reports the codec as H264 but VLC reports it as mpgv - clearly I have something wrong in the OBS profile for mpeg2 !

this is where i started in setting up profiles in obs

[G4WIM]

yeah - thanks for the link. I had tried that but it is for H264 rather than H262.

Think I'll give up for now and have a fresh look tomorrow as it's clearly an OBS profile problem - maybe a glass of wine will help

Thanks again Tim
