Getting TS Stream Dump on Android STB

If you need to make a TS stream dump on Android STB, you can do it in 3 steps using the chk_mcast utility:

  1. Download chk_mcast and install with ADB:

adb push chk_mcast /data/local/tmp/

  1. Login to the box with ADB tool and make the utility executable, if needed:

adb shell “chmod +x /data/local/tmp/chk_mcast”

  1. Start playing the channel and make sure that the issue occurs.
  2. Depending on the issue or the Technical Support Team request collect a dump (typically 10 minutes long) on the STB and download it:

adb shell $ /data/local/tmp/chk_mcast -t 600 -d MCAST_IP:PORT > /data/local/tmp/dump.ts $ exit adb pull /data/local/tmp/dump.ts .

  1. Another option is to save the file directly on your PC:

adb shell “/data/local/tmp/chk_mcast -t 600 -d MCAST_IP:PORT” > dump.ts
