Thanks Simon,

 

I get strange issues using the script, below is when i use it on Ubuntu 15, 
mind you i have no problems using the hackrf on this system

with all tools i.e. hackrf_info, hackrf_transfer, gnuradio

 

I am using the test.ts file that comes with gr-dvbt

 

 

./dvbt-hackrf_tx_sk.py test.ts

This is being done to prevent the application from crashing

due to gnuradio bug #528.

If i run the script with sudo   

   

sudo ./dvbt-hackrf_tx_sk.py test.ts

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./dvbt-hackrf_tx_sk.py", line 18, in <module>

    from gnuradio import blocks

ImportError: No module named gnuradio

 

Below is when i try the script on a different machine running Kali Linux, again 
all other hackrf tools and gnuradio work.

I feel slightly embarrassed as I subscribed to this list using an email address

replies I posted have been seen on the list. Oops!

 

Here is my reply about this thread:

 

Hi Craig,

 

Check out Clayton's web page (who created the sdr-examples you refer to)  
<http://www.irrational.net/2014/03/02/digital-atv/> here

 

I amended his BladeRF script and I have put my HackRF version here 
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/bdnzoa0kn01dfav/dvbt-hackrf_tx_sk.py?dl=0>  for 
download

My version transmits DVB-T on the lowest Freeview channel in the UK at 474MHz 
(obviously only while using a dummy load). I successfully received the 
transmission of my webcam image this way using an RTL-SDR dongle.

 

The command I used was very heavily influenced (ok, basically copied) from 
Clayton's examples:

avconv -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -vf 
drawtext=fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf:text="TEST
 ":x=440:y=420:fontsize=48:[email protected]:box=1:[email protected] -vcodec 
mpeg2video -r 60 -b 2000000 -acodec mp2 -ar 48000 -ab 48000 -ac 2 
-mpegts_transport_stream_id 1025 -mpegts_service_id 1 -mpegts_pmt_start_pid 
4096 -mpegts_start_pid 400 -f mpegts -y in.fifo

 

I used a standard web cam to capture the image, sent the output to a fifo file 
(in.fifo) and consumed the output through the python program with the command:

./dvbt_hackrf_tx_sk.py in.fifo

 

The fifo file can be created using the command mkfifo in.fifo 

 

Run the avconv command and the python program in the same directory as you 
created the fifo file in.

 

I have also transmitted DVB-S which I have documented on my blog here 
<http://photohamrad.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/transmitting-video-with-hackrf-blue.html>
 

 

Simon.

Can you tell us the command you used to get this error please.

I remember that I got a smilar error but cannot look up how I solved it until I 
get home in a couple of hours.

The key point is that the program is trying to open a UDP port to receive the 
data and error relates to the asignment of the argument you supply to the 
program to the variable 'port' in the program.
