How can I analysis DVBS2 packets in Wireshark 3.4.6?

Question

I import dvb-s2_bb_example.pcap (which has been published by wireshark.org) in Wireshark 3.4.6. It is not interpreted correctly. I have enabled all protocols in Analyze->Enabled Protocols

By using Wireshark 1.10.0 it is interpreted correctly, but I want to use version 3.4.6.

How can I do it in 3.4.6 or the newer versions?

Answer 1

I think the 3.4.6 version has a bug. I use a newer version (3.4.9) and it interprets my DVBS2 log correctly.

Answer 2

You need to enable the DVB-S2 over UDP heuristic dissector. It used to be enabled with a preference for the protocol, but "enable heuristic dissector" preferences were removed and replaced with a single mechanism for enabling and disabling them at some point after the 1.10 release.

Open Analyze > Enabled Protocols, type "dab" into the search box, check the checkbox in front of "dvb_s2_udp", and clock "OK".
