Dude, to be honest I've always manually grabbed videos from the pc by manually typing the video pid and audio pid, what you're saying is what I've never used (on Linux). I even can't say wheter it is possible to make ggrab record with the dreambox by remote control?
.. by PC, I'm assuming you mean a PC running Linux?
Anyway check out the manual (man ggrab), if not hard post some information here cause I'm not using linux now and am interested about the auto grabbing feature.
I've read the man page, the source code and sat tracing the IP traffic ! Still no joy.
If I launch ggrab 'by hand' with pids etc, I see inetd(8) lauch two processes on the DM500 however both of these have their connections go into FIN WAIT 2 so
I guess something is dying?
I've made a little progress though. Th ggrab works in the manner you describe, lots of complex options for apid/vpid etc. However there's no need to lanuch it that way, If you just start sstream, it sits and listen on port 4000. The 'record option' (e.g web interface) talks to sstream on port 4000, this sends commands which cause sstream to query the DM (there are http gets you can use) to find out the various pids etc. Once it has this it launches ggrab with the right options ... neat (if it worked :-( )
So my questions:
1: Are you doing this on a DM500S? (or a 70xx?)
2: Which image are you using?
3: Can you give an verbatium example of what you type and what files get created?
sorry if this is a lot to ask but this is driving me crazy, it all should work
