What's the URL for cloning that repository? The gitweb doesn't say!

I wrote a small test program in python, based on what I learnt from the
dvbscan.c code; I've attached it. The mpegtsparse element doesn't seem
to be working at all; the only ELEMENT messages I'm getting are
dvb-adapter and dvb-frontend-stats which I think come from dvbsrc, not
mpegtsparse. And mpegtsparse doesn't create any pads. If I don't include
the extra video/audio pids as well as the SI pids I get a
dvb-read-failure ELEMENT message.

Another oddity is that I originally used
set_properties("adapter", adapter, "frontend", frontend) instead of a
separate set_property for each property, but it didn't work. The adapter
number stayed 0 after I had set it to 1 (also if I reordered the
properties so adapter came after frontend).

Also, why is the "pids" property write-only? In a complex application it
would be nice to know what the pids already are to make sure different
functions don't conflict with each other.
