OK, I promise this will be the last time i write ;)
I'm not convinced my code is the problem now (although it most likely
still is). I've rewritten my plugin code to simply write packets to
stdout, then piped it into a file (temp.ts). This plays back fine in
VLC.
However, using either testMPEG2TransportStreamer or live555MediaServer
to stream it to VLC doesn't work. testMPEG2TransportStreamer dumps a
stream of "Missing Sync Byte" errors to the console until killed,
whereas live555MediaServer allows the stream to load in VLC, however
doesn't play, and examining the VLC info window shows the incoming
stream has 16 streams (the file has only a single audio and video
stream).
Strangely ts files saved using the EyeTV interface stream fine. My
hypotheses then are either the raw stream coming from my card is not
entirely spec-compliant, or EyeTV is presenting me incorrect data; or
that the liveMedia library does not entirely support NZ's DVB format.
I'll keep working on it, but I think I might need to get Elgato to
shed some light.
Regards,
Ryan

I have already enabled the RTSP server in my code.
I wasn't asking about your code; I was asking about mine :-)
You should check to see whether the original
"testMPEG2TransportStreamer" application - modified *only* by
enabling the built-in RTSP server - can stream to VLC (by opening
the "rtsp://" URL).
Try receiving the stream using the "openRTSP" client instead.
Check whether you receive a proper Transport Stream file (that you
can play, directly, using VLC).
This isn't working either, i get a zero-length file.
Assuming that there's no firewall between "openRTSP" and your
server, then the problem is that your server is not streaming any
data. Because this is your code, you're going to have to figure this
out for yourself.
