DVBStreamExplorer export to Web Services

The next release of DVBStreamExplorer Professional edition will introduce new features for exporting data to Web Services.
  • Service WS export
  • EIT WS export
Service WS export
This feature will export the same data as when exporting to CSV file. The difference being that it will export directly to a server that implements a WS that can be consumed by DVBStreamExplorer.
This could be used by users who are using DVBStreamExplorer to produce data for an on-line DTV service list.

The WS export is invoked from export menu.

Endpoint URL of Web Service has to be entered. There is also an ID field. The meaning of this is defined by WS implementation. It is not used internally by DVBStreamExplorer. This could for instance be a unique DTV service list instance, so that multiple DTV service lists could be hosted.

EIT WS export
This feature will export EIT event data to a Web Service. DVBStreamExplorer could then be used to provide event data for an on-line TV guide.

This feature is part of the DVB TS Monitor EIT page.


Before starting TS Monitor session, export to WS must be configured. Configuration of EIT WS export can be invoked from Options -> Preferences EIT export tab.


Endpoint URL of Web Service has to be entered. There is also an ID field. The meaning of this is defined by WS implementation. It is not used internally by DVBStreamExplorer.
EIT module will cache events in memory. When a sufficient number of events have been cached they will be exported to Web Service. This will happen either when 'Upload interval (minutes)' has passed or count of events has exceeded 'Event threshold', depending on which of these two events occurs first.
A maximum number of 'Max events per request' events will be sent in one request to Web Service. If number of cached events exceeds this value multiple requests to Web Service will be made.
