Bugs/limitations

There are some limitations and/or known bugs to this program. Feel free to help resolve them!

• DVB Inspector just assumes you give it a valid transport stream, there is no sanity check like first 5 packets should be OK.
• Bitrate measurements and graphs have no meaning when feeding it a partial or variable rate MPEG transport stream. DVB inspector assumes total bit rate is fixed for entire file length.
• Not possible to use DVB device directly. You have to capture a transport stream first using some other program, and then you can use DVB Inspector.
• The names of the resource files for ID look-up should be defined in a .properties file. Now they are hard coded.

These are some of the features that may be implemented in a next version of this tool. Suggestions are welcome.

• Print (part of) tree
• Export (part of) tree to HTML file
• More robust parsing of input
• Be able to parse other types of input stream
• Implement more (private) descriptors

Contact

When you want a feature added (or a bug resolved) please contact me using this contact form. For solving bugs it would be nice if you can make a sample transport stream available. For feature requests a sample stream, and specifications would be nice. Please note, there is no guarantee your request can or will be implemented. This project is done in my spare time.
