"Add Graph to ROT" registry option

Thanks for your great work.
Not sure if this is the right place for my feature request.

I'm using your filter with window media player ocx (.net control) and so far everythings nearly perfect.
I have only one small problem: wmp seems to update the duration on a file only when it initially builds the graph.
This means if I'm playing a currently recorded show (or timeshift) the duration property of the wmp control is not updated.
If I could get a reference to the directshow graph in the ROT I could invoke IMediaSeeking::GetDuration by myself and my problem would be solved.
So please could you add an "Add Graph to ROT" option to the filter. Best place on my opinion would be the registry.
By the way: the "old" TSFileSource filter had such an option.

I took a quick look on the source code and recognized that there is already "Add Graph to ROT" functionality. Could you please wrap a registry lookup for the option around this?

Edit: A unique ROT display name would also be great (suggest: "tsreader playing <somemovie>.ts") to be sure to connect to the correct graph.

Thanks.

LiveTV video and audio freezes afterchannel change

Hi,

just had a video and audio freeze after changing the channel from "RTL television" to "kabel eins".
I am using
- TT S2-3200 with CI
- Driver 5.0.0.2
- Cyberlink codecs
- SVN MediaPortal-svn--09-14-2007--01-08-Rev15881.exe
- TVE tvengine3-09-14-2007--01-25h--Rev15881.zip

Logs attached.

P.S. If I exit Live TV and reenter it, it is fine again.

Could be a server issue?

this problem:

- play a recorded show, press skip or ff or rew or info button, then playing is stopped and the list of records is displayed again
- it is codec independend
- it only occurs with the new TSReader - with the old reader skipping and ff/rew is fine
- it occurs in multiseat environment (for me: one server, one client)
- when playing the TS file with "myVideo" skipping, ff and rew works fine

still exists with Rev 15939.

I am using single seat, so how could that be?

Hi all. Hi tourettes!

I also experience a new bug that seems to be introduced with one of the latest changes to the tsreader.

The pictures freezes after some channel changes. Has for as I was able to "nail it down", it does happen if I change from a channel this a mpg2 audio track to a channel with 2 mpg1 tracks (stereo) and 1 AC3 tracks.

I have attached a log based on SVN 15939 where the problem occurs (at 15:19:04). IIRC it was during a channel change from "Das Erste" to "Kabel eins" (or the other way around).

During my further investigation I tried to install older TVPlugins (only the plugin not the server) and noticed that I was not able to reproduce the problem with version smaller or equal to 15881.

This 15898 the problem is there!

So it must be somewhere between...

I hope that helps a little.

bye
Lars

TVE3 service fails to create the file and then TsReader doesn't have anything that it could read on the player side. Only a guess as logs don't tell any obvious reason for this.

"18-09-2007 15:19:04 vid:compensation:9084.444"

I guess thats the cause. I did see that multiple times when I was working with the seeking speed up (without any of the actual speed up code enabled) but I wasn't able to find the reason for that. Somehow the TsReader thinks that video stream needs to be compensated a quite big value (normaly it's just under 1).

Maybe Frodo would have more specific knowledge on this issue as I'm pretty much out of ideas.

 

[tourettes]

Fixed: TsReader 15956 - Log file wasn't cleared between TsReader "runs".

Hello all,

I'm using very recent versions of MP and TV3 and recording in the ts. format. Whenever TV3 performs a fairly long recording (around 2 hours) and I want to fast forward to the end (x32 speed let's say), MP crashes.

Is it worth me trying the tsreader? Might anything else be causing crashing during fast-forward?

It would be good if one could manually skip to later parts of the recording in one click to save fast-forwarding.

Thanks,
