Sorry for jumping in this thread, but I used (and I am currently using)
libavformat for reading a TS from a dvb device, and it works quite
well...
The only problem that I can see is that it needs a lot of time to begin
parsing the stream (it tries to read too many packets for identifying
the stream characteristics).

Are you sure that it is really hanging? I mean: if you open the DVB card
filters for only 2 PIDs (the audio PID and the video PID), libavformat
will wait for a lot of time before beginning to play the stream...
Something like the attached stupid patch fixes this problem for me (but
I do not think this is the proper solution :)
