Native Blu-ray support (2 Viewers)

[tourettes]

I can reproduce the issues with Blade Runner and Foo Fighters samples. Blade Runner is bug in our code and the FF is having an issue on lib side.

Re: AW: Re: Native Blu-ray support

Based on the wiki, following samples would be nice to receive:
Simply Red - Farewell - Live In Concert At Sydney Opera House

uploaded as BR-iso.

Hi,

Can you reupload (without the iso because first clip are not complete) ?
Upload all little file and a 1 or 2 minutes of main clip (m2ts)
Thanks

Hi Sebastiii,

which one is the first clip? 00000.m2ts is the main-movie (about 20 gig on the original BR). I cut this one and "implanted" it into the stream-folder which I created manually. I also cut all other clips with more than 100 MB because of upload-traffic (mainly the bonusparts). I changed nothing else. I left the BR-structur as given on the BR. The reason for creating an iso-BR was, that I wanted to test it with powerDVD, because after testing I rebuilt my system to MP 1.2.1 and had no longer access to the plugin.

Re: AW: Native Blu-ray support

I knew I'd read that the Arcsoft decoder was suggested for VC-1 .

@ tourettes, based on my results while using it, it might be worth changing that post. Of cause the problems I had could be specific to the setup I used for testing?

Cheers,

Mick.

It’s only a problem with VC1i (interlaced), VC1p (progressive) works fine with LAV.
Never tried Arcsoft, but PDVD can handle it, so can also Microsoft’s decoder.
The best solution for interlaced VC1 is a Nvidia GPU with Cuvid

Hi matpe,

Yes m8. LAV works fine for me with VC-1p. The Arcsoft decoder worked fine with BDHANDLER which is why I initially stuck with it.

I'm not sure I have any VC-1i titles to test with but if you're happy with the Cyberlink and MS decoders that's good enough for me

I don't personally run an nVIDIA card so cuvid isn't an option for me (but it is on the list of things to test in the office very soon!).

Cheers,

Mick

Yes looking with bdinfo, it seems main clip was 00000.M2TS associate with 00001.MPLS
Did you cut this one too 00009.m2ts ? because on it we have a lib issue (so it can be a real bug or incomplete file)
The other clip was really big (except main movie) ?
If 00009.m2ts was cut, can you upload it (full one)
Thanks

Right. So I have started testing blu-rays now and I thought I would try to figure out some things with you guys, before I continue. First movie is Terminator Salvation, which is a BD-J disc, so menu does not work but Title mode starts playing just fine.

Subtitle changing works, so does audio changing. Skipping (+15 sec, -15sec) works like it should. The only problem is, fast forwarding does not seem to work correctly. It starts fast forwarding, I can see the subtitles change faster, but the picture stops for about 5 seconds, before it starts fast forwarding correctly. After fast forwarding, when I press Play, picture stops again for about 5-10 seconds, before continuing. I can recover from this by skipping +15sec. Sometimes the picture never fast forwards, even if I let it sit still for about a minute. Then I get a Microsoft Visual C++ error (abnormal termination) and Mediaportal has crashed.

I've tried both LAV and Cyberlink video decoders. LAV audio decoder: If I try to run the LAV audio decoder configuration in Windows Start menu, I get an error: "Error in LAVAudio.ax. Missing entry OpenConfiguration.". LAV audio decoder seems to work in Mediaportal, so it is still usable.

I confirmed the same kind of operation with Watchmen Blu-ray also (BD-J). Shift +1 shows that I indeed have LAV selected as video and audio decoder.

Any ideas on how to start diagnosing this fast forward stuff? Other than that, it works beautifully!

My system is:

Intel E8200 (dualcore) processor
Ati Radeon 6670 videocard
2GB DD2 memory @800Mhz
Intel SSD as system disc, Windows 7 64 bit Professional

Terminal Salvation <-- it is indeed a BD-J disk, with seamless branching content. A good disk for testing the seamless branching.

About the fast forward / rewind. Those are probably broken, I haven't even tried those in few months at least. First we need to get the more important things (incompatible disks, broken menus etc) to be sorted out and then we can have a look on the rewind / fast forward issue. There is currently no need to test that as it is "broken by design"

Where do I find the BDReader.log? I searched my computer with no luck.

They could be in text which is not supported at the moment.

The text are in the eng PGS format. At least when I change the subtitles, the PGS pop up

About the "Up", sounds like a bug in the libbluray. I would require a sample of that blu-ray, but it will be quite huge upload (%GB maybe?) to allow the 10 minute amount of the main movie to be played.

When I look futher into this, when I use MPC-HC and play the index.bdvm, the films plays fine, same with VLC and Windows Mediaplayer, but in MP it starts 00078.m2ts instead of 00050.m2ts. Any idea that would happen? Tried with Graphstudio and it shows that I use the LAV decoder and in the config, the blu-ray are configured to use LAV filters.

....\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log\BDReader-2011-11-17

something like that.

Weird, I opened configuration for MP, choose User Config files, and nothing there, and now there is!!

Edit: Always learning new tricks. When I open UP through MovingPictures, no logs generates. But when I open the film through My Videos, I choose the index.bdmv, the log generates and the movie plays as it should be. So maybe bug in the MovingPictures? Pirates of the Caribbean works through MovingPictures but not Up, so I will use the My Videos for further testing.

Regarding the subtitle configure, I choose the Icelandic subtitle and English audio, but from the log:
