[Bug] Some recorded TV files play audio only (1 Viewer)

[VdR]

For some recorded TV .ts files only the audio is played back. This is consistent in the sense that some files always show this behaviour, and they do on all clients. I'm on RC6.

This could, or could not be related to this thread:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-3-6-519/tv-show-seen-radio-83376/

But that issue seems to be brought down to files named '...live.ts', and I have the problem with files not named so and do not have the problem with a file that is named so.

This also could, or could not be related to this thread:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ainfo-dll-broken-me-above-ver-0-7-30-a-83264/

But that issue seem to be brought down to the mediainfo.dll file, I'm on RC6 and have version 0.7.34.0 and still have the problem.

So I'm stuck, please help.

The two snippets from the logs below seem to indicate where the problem lies. For the 'bad' file there is a 5 seconds hesitation where for the 'good' file TSReaderPlayer takes some video action. For the 'bad' file no video codec is added to the graph. Does TSReaderPlayer read the file to decide if it has video? Both MediaInfo GUI and TSMuxeR recognise the video in the .ts file.

I have attached the full logs for both situations.

Any suggestions? This is fully reproducable on three clients if you want me to test anything, provide anything else no problem.

Please note that MediaInfo.dll is not used on rtsp playback:

2010-07-13 22:06:34.953125 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: g_Player.OnStarted() rtsp://CM690:554/DF2F7161 media:Recording

finally please upload a sample of the broken TS file as it seems more a TsReader issue with it than something else...

Indeed, that's why I started a new thread.

Please find a 5 second snippet from the .ts file and the associated .xml file for import in the recorded TV database attached. I tried this snippet and it does show the problem.

Interesting enough, I first made the snippet with TSMuxeR, but that file played OK. This file is cut with TSsniper.

Thank you for looking at this.

Bug confirmed. Issue is in TsReader side: 0002970: Unable to connect video on some samples - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Hmm, looks very much like the problems I've had but I thought it was my HW that was the problem.

I'm not sure when it showed up but somewhere around RC3 for me. I don't have any logfiles to back it up.

I solved my issue by using 4TR and have not had the problem since.

Some additional info, this may help finding the cause.

As mentioned, after rewriting the file with TSMuxeR, it plays but there is a big delay (about 2.5 seconds) in the audio. A problem that I have not seen with TSMuxeR before.
