RTL DAB Streamer
===================
Turns your Realtek RTL2832 based DVB dongle into a DAB radio receiver.
Description
-----------
RTL DAB Streamer is a small tool to stream DAB radio by using a DVB-T dongle to a client e.g. KODI, VLC or mplayer.
The DVB-T dongle has to be based on the Realtek RTL2832U.
See [http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr](http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr) for more RTL SDR details.
This tool uses RTKDAB_Interface (https://github.com/AlbrechtL/RTKDAB_Interface) as backend.
Usage
-----
At the moment this program is under heavy development. Don't expect a super working application.
Start "RTKDAB_Interface" first.
Default port to connect to it is 2346.
$ ./rtl_dab_streamer
Streaming
---------
To connect to the server you can use KODI, VLC or mplayer. Just connect to the URL
http://IPAddress:Port/Channel/SID
e.g. for "WDR 2" in NRW/Germany:
http://localhost:2346/11D/0xD392
To get the channels and the SIDs information for your location you can use http://www.fmlist.org.
To use this tool in KODI simply create a *.strm file e.g. "WDR_2.strm"
http://localhost:2346/11D/0xD392
Limitations
--------------
- Server accepts only one client
- Only DAB+ support
