missing audio

[steveum]

I have had a couple of files lately that are missing the audio when played on my PCH with mvpmcx2. If I play these files with the native PCH player using the myihome server to stream the file, the audio is fine. I can also play the file locally on my computer with several different tools and the hear the audio.

The files originally started out as ts files with of QAM HD broadcasts. Using comskip and video redo, the file has been changed to a file with MPG extension. Video Redo just chops out the commericals and remuxes.

I am using the version of mvpmcx2 from august.

Could the codecs on my server have any impact on mvpmcx2's ability to play a file? I recently installed the SAF codec pack, so I don't know if that could be related to the problem.

I also have question regarding the NMT remote key for launching the PCH native player. I thought I use to use the USB-eject key for doing this. If I hit this key now, it exits the application and goes back to the PCH menu screen. Since mvpmcx2 has been playing files so well lately, I haven't used this feature in long time. Now that I am missing the audio on some files, I wanted to force the native player for these problematic files.

You are creating your own problem with VideoRedo. In mpeg-ps mode there is no control of multiple audio tracks, with mpeg-ts mode detection of sub-streams is much smarter and you can select different audio tracks. If leaving the file in mpeg-ts mode is an option that would be a better choice. If you want to put a 50 MB sample on megaupload I can confirm this is the problem.

The beauty of owing an NMT is the codecs and your PC's ability/inability to play a file won't impact you.

As for the NMT play mode that changed to accommodate EGreat NMT's a couple of months ago. USB twice is power off, USB + Play or USB + Ok is what you are looking for.

VideoRedo can create ts streams, so that might be my best solution.

What tool can I use to extract the first 50mb of the file?

I don't know if subs's utility http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...ostcount=2 works on mpg-ps or not.

Also maybe even VideoRedo?
