Good seeing you again! I believe to remember it was the meeting in Munich?
I hope that I told you about Wireshark's CI+ dissector then ;-)
Yu did indeed. ;)
[...] There's no such thing as a "high-level introduction to the DVB-related functionality" document.
Which I hadn't expected anyway.
There is, however, doc/README.dissector, which is worth a read.
I'm studying this at the moment. But there's always the moment when you're convinced you had followed all instructions meticulously, but it still won't work. That's when a little hint from a more experienced developer comes handy.
(1) A little bit of streamlining of how DVB PSI/SI is presented when analysing MPEG2-TS. I could e.g. imagine it to help readability if the PID were shown in the source and/or destination address field. Also, when interpreting DVB PSI/SI tables, some interpretations of identifiers doesn't seem to be quite accurate.That sounds like a good starting point: Find a field that we don't interpret correctly. Try to find out where it's defined and modify it. Try to come up with a small and simple modification for the first patch. If you get stuck along the way, let me know which field you're looking at and prepare a ts file that you can share with us. [...]
Sounds like a plan. My first patch should be... posted here? Many thanks and looking forward to your thoughts, --alexander ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
