Also make sure that the error can be reproduced with the splitted .ts file. It is possible that the error is happening after th first 50MB.

sure I did, the errors are still there after splitting (only tested on my DesktopPC)

the files will be available in ~1:15H, but I will make another post if the upload is finished

The errors occur at:
1. 00:19
2. 00:50
3. 01:32

the 1, 2, 3 are in the same order as in my previous post here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/774405-post13.html

It will (probably) fall back using TsReader.ax when you disable the internal MPC-HC splitter, so it points to TsReader.ax being the problem again.

I checked your suggestion and you are right:

FreakyJ - the attached TsReader.ax should fix the failure to resume after stream interruptions/corruptions.

Tony

Hi Tony,
I've tried the NoStopMod3 tsreader.ax, but it only works on SD Channels. (forcefull removed smartcard)
I've attached the logs, (VH1 [OK] >> MTV HD [NOK] >> NGC HD [NOK] >> MTV Dance [OK])

Hope this helps.

So, the files are uploaded:

I hope this will help to fix the problem
If I can do anything else, let me know

FreakyJ - which version of MPC-HC are you using ?

Just tried 1.5.2.3456 from Media Player Classic - Home Cinema - Video Player and it hangs at the first corruption in your test file and doesn't recover.....(using the 'out-of-the-box' settings i.e. all internal filters).

Strange, I used two different versions:
Help -> About: copied the three fields, separated by "-"
On my Desktop-PC: 1.3.1249.0 - VS 2008 - GCC 4.4.1; Note: x64 Version
On my HTPC: 1.4.2677.0 - MSVC 2008 SP1 (SSE) - GCC 4.5.1 Note: x86 Version

Edit:
Maybe I should say that both is Windows 7 x64
Desktop-PC: Nvidia Graphics, Quadcore
HTPC: ATI, Dualcore
I don't think that this is important, but how knows
/Edit

Did you checked the filter Settings that "MPEG PS/TS/PVA" is ticked? I posted one page back a Screenshot. I guess this is the most important part, because the filter configuration on my DesktopPC is completely different and it works here too.
You can check the source filter by doing the following: Play -> Filters -> (last point, here it is the file path) -> Properties, just see screenshot, if the MP TsReader is active it will look different
What it should look like you can see in my post 21 (at the top of this page)

Edit2: You can check the Filter Settings here: View -> Options -> Internal Filters

Did you restart MPC-HC after changing the settings? I see that it was quite late yesterday, maybe you forgot it oO

Edit3:
I attached my MPC-HC settings (from the HTPC & DesktopPC), these are registry keys, [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Media Player Classic], so I can understand if you don't want to apply these settings on your machine, but maybe you have a development machine But you really should save your settings befor doing this, because I don't know if it will work, i just found these method on the internet

I just downloaded the newest Version from Media Player Classic - Home Cinema - Video Player
MPC-HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x64.exe and installed it in a VM with Windows 7 Ultimate x64, didn't changed any settings of MPC-HC and started playback of the file which I uploaded.
It works perfect like on my DesktopPC and on my HTPC.

Edit:
In the VM is no codec pack installed, only MySQL, MediaPortal 1 & Mediaportal 2

Edit2:
Screenshot shows the active filters in the VM

Please try the attached TsReader.ax - with this version in MP 1.2.0B I get pauses of a few seconds to 15 seconds at each corruption in the test file (and the same when using TsReader.ax in MPC-HC).

I'm running Win7 32 bit, so I can't try the x64 versions of MPC-HC (but we're trying to improve MP here, so let's not worry too much about MPC-HC

Thanks, I tested your new version The first two corruptions are like before, but the third corruption improved now a lot:
10:23:25 (start hanging) - 10:24:12 (continued), please note that the time is from my radio clock, yesterday the difference between radio clock and HTPC was 01:08 minutes

I guess I found another point, if I start the video file (the large one with over 500MB) from inside "Videos" MP needs around 30 seconds to start the video! I also had the issue with MPC-HC if it was using the TsReader.ax

Do you think you can still improve TsReader? 15 secs is a big improvement compared to 3 minutes, but I think it is still a long time compared to MPC-HC, which only takes under 1 sec.

Concerning MPC-HC:
I tested the newest version x68 on a Windows XP Professional x86 machine, worked like a charm too, but you are right, we want to improve MP

 

[Owlsroost]

FreakyJ - Just tried 'mplayerc_homecinema_x86_v1.3.1249.0' and it works OK using the internal filters (plays through the corruptions with a small glitch, as you described).
