[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1139899, member: 82144"] PAT and PMT sections will almost always fit in one packet and are usually carried on separate PIDs, so I understand why you prefer the simpler code. However, when the code assumptions are not met there is no warning (!!!). Since there was no warning, it took me almost 2 days to find this problem (checking the packet sync, section decoder etc.).. :( Also, about packet alignment: there is never any guarantee about this. Correct. I modified the "if" clause: [code]if ((postedData > 0) && (this->keepPidValues != NULL) && (this->keepPidValues[PID_PAT] == KEEP_PID_IN_STREAM))[/code] So, if PID filtering is not active (which is the normal case) then the problem code is avoided. See attached sample. The sample only contains PAT and PMT to keep the file size small. P.S.: Who is using this PID filtering, and what is the purpose/value? [/QUOTE]
