Re: I can't watch h.264 dvb-s channels with standard definition

I understood what you mean. It's really hard work for my CPU, but now I want it.
By the way,  the play of h.264 ts files (from the same satellite) is OK (except of remarks about NAL)

so, 

pmt pid = 265 (dec)
tsid pid =1
onid pid = 1
pcr pid = video pid = 525

I corrected channels.conf for channel "Vesti"
