    How can I get a DVB video stream in C?

    Hi,

    can someone please give me a hint about this problem or help me? Unfortunately I am absolutely new to this topic.

    I want to get a video stream from my DVB cards television input. All I need is for each video frame a RGB array of pixel data and an array with the audio amplitudes.
    My goal is to process this data by openCL on the GPU.

    I am working with pure C (gcc on minGW) on Windows, but it would be fine if it worked on Linux as well.

    Is there a C-library for that? Do I need to directly use operating system functions?
    What are the steps to achieve this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards

    Alexander

    Thank you!
    Unfortunately I don't understand how to use this. It seems to be only a parser for the stream. And the example shows the use of a socket.
    How can I get a stream for the DVB hardware? And how can I set the frequency?
