This is a summary of the problem discussed in the following thread....
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/itv-hd-not-working-mp-1-0-0-0-rc2-42436/
Basically ITV-HD no longer seems to work after build 19510. Using a later version than that but replacing the TsReader.ax with the one from 19510 restores ITV-HD to working again. TSReaders after this build had changes to allow some form of dynamic pin binding, perhaps that is part of the problem.
My understanding is that ITV-HD is actually delivered as a H222 stream, dman_lfc added some code to convert this into a H264 stream (convert may be a strong word here I think all the change does is to change the stream type id). Perhaps this is causing some problem with the new TSReader....
How to re-create
1. I deleted my old ITV-HD channel entry and rescanned the Sat channels. That picked up 10510 happily enough.
2. Renamed the new 10510 as ITV-HD
3. Installed Coreavc and set that as my H264 codec.
4. Set logging level to debug.
5. Ran MP to collect logs
6. Tuned to ITV-HD several times (no picture).
7. Recorded a short period of ITV-HD output.
8. Tried to play the recording.
9. Quit MP.
I've attached my logs. The interesting entry seems to be in MedialPortal.log it shows the player waiting for and not getting any VRM9 video signal. I'm actually using EVR on Vista, but I've also tried VRM9 with the same results. I've saved the short recording but it is 30MB in size so have not uploaded it. Let me know if you want it...
The attached logs are from a few builds ago, but I (and others), have tested this on later builds with the same results. Let me know if you need updated logs...
Thanks
Andy
