Hello,

Is there a way to replace the tsreader.ax file source filter which is registered by default? My problem is, that this splitter is unable to play some of my old TS files. It just does not start the playback. If i use MPC-HC (or another player) which uses the installed LAV Splitter, all is working perfectly.

Why i can't use the LAV Filter in Mediaportal?! If i unregister tsreader.ax mediaportal can't read TS files at all.


Greetings

Hi Klez

TsReader is a core component of MediaPortal that is used for reading and demuxing all TS files - it can't be replaced. If you have files that don't play then please provide us with small (around 50 MB) samples. You can upload the samples to our FTP server - login details are at the bottom of -->this<-- page. Please make sure that you use the correct naming pattern so we know the source details.

Have you tried renaming them to m2ts?

Yes, just change the file extension (TsReader will only be used for .ts files)

Hello,

Thanks! That did the job already.

OK, but why? Is there any advantage of "hard code" the used file source filter?

I would like to, but the TS files which causes the problem are records from my old DBox2. Some work, some does not.

I cant rename them to this syntax "[country]_[broadcaster]_[frequency]_[typeT/S/C]_[tuned_channel]_[FTA_or_scrambled].ts", because i dont know the frequency or tuned channel And: Do u have a tip how i can provide u with the first 50mb of such a TS file?

TsReader.ax handles timeshift files and RTSP streamed data from the MP TVserver, as well as local .ts file playback i.e. it's more than just a 'standard' splitter filter.

Okay, that's not a problem. Just call them something like "Klez_TsReader_does_not_play_this.ts". I think tsMuxeR or similar free tools should allow you to grab the first 50 MB.

Such tools could remux the TS file so they aren't "allowed" to be used when delivering samples. Just close down the FTP connection when 50 MB has been uploaded, that way the file will be cut without risking the file content to be modified.

tourettes: true, although I would have thought that the cutting function should just give 50 MB of packets. I'll remember your method for the future - very practical!
