Accessing /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvrX

[Plox]

Good day fellow programmers,

I am trying to get streamer to play DVB-S2 channels.
In order to do so I've tried using mumudvb for streaming and gstreamer for
playback but this isn't a very efficient solution.

I would like to manage to use /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 as source as I could
simply write a small application to tune to a certain channel and output to
said socket.
So far I tried to use filesrc location=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 ! decodebin !
eglglessink and playbin uri=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0.
All these pipelines are stuck while prerolling.
The playbin pipeline claims that the given resource can not be opened as it
is a socket.

I also tried cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > test.ts

Gstreamer seems to be unable to open test.ts while I am writing to it nor
once I have stopped writing to it.

For example omxplayer is able to open test.ts in both cases.

Is there any way to solve this issue?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
