Codecs SAF v6 (based on LAVF) (20 Viewers)

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

@Hoborg: finally i got it.

In my early days with my new sony cam i renamed the mts files to m2ts files. Later i didnt do that cuz for soem reason it was not necessary any longer. All files with m2ts uses the dxva decoder the one with mts extension not. I've tried it with the same file again and again its reproducable.

So whats wrong here.

Can you post a sample so i can take a look.

Hi.
You didnt read this?
MePo bug in my eyes...

Re: AW: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

EDIT:
Problem founded - MePo will use MPEG-2 selected decoder for *.mts files, even if the file itself is h.264/AVC
You should create a MePo bug report for this.

Great

Where can i do this?

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

Hi Hoborg,

I use SAF 5 beta and installed mepo 1.2.1.
how come i sometimes can play a mkv en sometimes not?

the one i can play is smaal in size en the one i can't play is 11 Gb.

I have to say it can't be played in mepo, the larger file i can play with mphc , besides the facht i have two suns instead of one.

Look here, the same test:

Simply if it is working in Graphstudio, then SAF working as it should.
You can try to use MKV merge and remux your file just to eliminate possible damage - just try it and see if any error popup.

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

Hi,

I just used your "unlocked" codec pack today and set all the settings as you have in the screenshots in the first post. However, I'm still having some problems playing some HD video files. The ones that seem to be having the difficulties are mkv files with AVCHD & AC3. What happens is when I click on them, the screen just flashes and then it comes back to the MP TV Series menu and marks them as "read". I understand that you're not specifically the person to talk to about the TV Series plugin, but that's what is happening. Before installing your pack, I was getting an error that it couldn't play the file. Now, it "thinks" that it can play it, but nothing ends up happening.

Can you please suggest something that I can do to fix them? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Hi.
As always - did you tryed to play your video in Graphstudio? START-SAF-Tools-Graphstudio, open and play your file here.

Hi,
I did open it in GraphStudio (File > Render Media File). It shows the diagram of the inputs, outputs, codecs, etc. When I click the play button, the first time, it flashes and closes immediately also. Then, when I click it again, the video plays, but just static for the sound.

Please let me know if that was the information that you're looking for, or if you need more (and how to get it please).

Thanks a lot for your response, I really appreciate it!!

Edit: I should also add that I'm in the process of setting up the live tv also, and there are video problems with that too. I don't know if it's related or not, but figured that I'd mention it. I scan for the channels and then when I try to preview them the small pop-up window is blank and nothing ever plays. Also, when i try to watch them through the MP interface, it just freezes MP and no video or sound show up.

But, 90%+ of my downloaded video files are playing, so I've got some stuff set up correct. haha Again, I'm not sure if it's related, but wanted to mention it.

Get MKVMerge (i suppose your file is in MKV).
Remux your video here.
Try again - you can simply Start graphstudio, drag and drop you file here and hit play.
If still not working, cut small sample in MKVMerge and send a sample. I will test it.

Edit: I should also add that I'm in the process of setting up the live tv also, and there are video problems with that too. I don't know if it's related or not, but figured that I'd mention it.

This is problem of MePo TV service setup, it is using wrong video renderer if SAF is installed (default renderer instead of correct one).
Hope someone someday fix this

If installing SAF makes the difference then it is an issue that SAF causes. setuptv just asks directshow to render the audio and video pins of TsReader - if that wont work or loads incorrect video renderer then the DS is messed up by SAF.

I disagree. It is MePo issue, becouse if it connect with EVR/VMR9 (SAF default), it will produce black screen.
Simple MePo definition to add "video renderer" to graph instead to use default one will fix that.
MePo is only software with this issue acording my experience, nobody else report any issue yet.

Default video renderer can be changed by more reasons, not only by SAF.
I rather prefer to have graphstudio working (to auto use correct video renderer) comparing to some preview MePo TV server setup window

BTW, if TOOLS instalation is disabled durning SAF install, nothing is changed on default video renderer.
