And it really might be a splitter issue.

If it is a splitter issue then please provide us with a sample TS file (max size 50 MB). You can upload it to our FTP server. Login details are at the bottom of -->this<-- wiki page.

Re: ts stutters - after renaming to avi runs fine

Hi bbathome

......
Hopefully my explanations make sense to you. There are 3 options for you:
1. Rename the extensions.
2. Wait for the mantis issue to be solved.
3. A hack!
I do not guarantee that this hack would work, but it is worth a try. What you need to do is manually edit your MediaPortal.xml configuration file (in any text editor like notepad) and enter the *exact* name of the codec that you want to use in the aacaudiocodec setting under mytv. For example, if you want to use the Microsoft codec, enter:

<section name="mytv">
...
<entry name="aacaudiocodec">Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder</entry>
...
</section>

As I said, no guarantee this would work. If it doesn't work, then there may be another problem with TsReader, and it would be helpful to have a sample.

On my other PC (Vista) MONOGRAM is used both for video and TV - and with avi it works. It might be a splitter issue - I also posted the GraphStudio results of both files.

And it really might be a splitter issue.

If it is a splitter issue then please provide us with a sample TS file (max size 50 MB). You can upload it to our FTP server. Login details are at the bottom of -->this<-- wiki page.

I try to cut it - the file size now is 6 GB...

I uploaded the first 21 seconds - it is now in the root directory and the name is bbathome.ts / bbathome.txt

THANKS

Hi again bbathome

What is the source of this sample? There are two real services (low bitrate h.264, high bitrate MPEG2) and four PMTs - such a stream is almost certainly not going to work in TS reader since TS reader expects only one service and one PMT per TS file...

As I wrote before: standard Japanese terrestrial digital TV (ISDB-T). IT consists of HDTV (MPEG2/AAC) and includes a stream for mobile phones (OneSeg) with H264Video.

What was used to record that TS file? As mm1352000 wrote TsReader wont support streams that contain multiple PMT's or video streams.

But Japanese terrestrial TV does contain these various streams: HDTV, OneSeg, MHP like multimedia service...

ISDB-T System

When renaming these files to .avi they are played in Mediaportal.

Have to go to bed now...

Hi again bbathome

Please answer tourettes' question: what was used to record that TS file (or did you just download it from somewhere)?

But Japanese terrestrial TV does contain these various streams: HDTV, OneSeg, MHP like multimedia service...

That is okay. The problem is the *recording software* is recording multiple services (channels) into one file, and MP's TsReader can't handle that. When TV Server records, it would only record *either* the MPEG2 HD stream *or* the h.264 low res stream. The two streams would be separate channels in the TV Server channel list.

TsReader can handle both of those streams when they are in separate files. I've checked and it works:

1. Remux using tsMuxerGUI (it is free ). Select the MPEG 2 stream and the 48 kHz AAC audio stream and mux them into a new file.
2. Download and install the DivX AAC codec from -->here<-- (you can use the free version). Monogram will not work.
3. Open MP configuration and change the LATM AAC audio decoder to "DivX AAC Decoder".
4. Close MP configuration and start MP.
5. Locate and attempt to play the file that you created with tsMuxeR. It should play fine.

TsReader will not handle the streams when they are together in the same file like the sample you gave me. In other words, if you can record the streams in TV Server then they should work without needing to use tsMuxeR.

If you have a collection of these files then you could write a script to remux them all using the tsMuxeR command line utility. The only other alternative is to change the extensions on all of them as you previously proposed.

PS: I have a fix in my local version of TsReader that enables me to play the low-res h.264 stream. It won't play for you with 1.2.0b, but it will in 1.2.0rc. You could download the TsReader from -->here<-- if you need to play the low-res stream. The linked TsReader is only compatible with 1.2.0b.

I will rename the files to .avi - then they usually work. As we do not keep these files remuxing is too much effort.

The files are recorderd not by me - as I am in Europe but by relatives of my wife; and they use - surprise - the Standard Windows Media Center and get somehow rid of the copy protection. I believe that the problem is that in Japan (contrary to at least Europe) you can only choose between "Full Seg" and "One Seg" recording. "One Seg" is the stuff for mobile phones (H264) and "Full Seg" is the whole channel. So the tuner is presenting one Channel (e.g. FujiTelebi) to the recording software - and that's it. There is also other software like TVRock available - I might try that later this year - but I doubt it will produce the wanted result.

So we stay as it is - as renaming is working - maybe we will switch to Blu-Ray Discs which is also easy.

I still wonder why the "standard" splitter is working and also vlc - but I am happy that there is a work around.

Possibly because they have "smarts" to detect the streams with the most packets and use them by default. TsReader on the other hand is designed to work with TsWriter (which is the corresponding server side component). Since TsWriter does not record more than one program per TS, TsReader does not have the "smarts".

For us it is not a big deal - mostly we get DVDs/BRs for not "time sensitive" stuff. And these DVDs also cannot be played back via MP (at least I assume) as they are encypted with the Japanese CPRM system - but many BluRay Players are able to play these discs as some versions of PowerDVD.

Let's close this topic now.
