No Skip (Most Times) on TS HD Recrodings

[martint123]

It has support for TS files.

Just tried the demo - may support .ts but not my local HD TS of h.264

[-stattik-]

Just this

mencoder {SOURCE_FILE} -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -o {DEST_FILE}

Discontinuity errors can be shown in vlc too if you turn on messages

Martin

Yeah when I use that command I get streams of errors:

Code:

BUFFER UNDEFLOW at stream 0, raising muxrate to 1980 kb/s, delta_scr: 223418

ERROR: scr 1.011, dts 0.000, pts 0.300

After a minute or so mencoder starts eating up all available memory. I must have some especially problematic TS files.

Well...I just bit the bullet and injected a process to remux my .ts recordings using tsremux.

I had already setup the SuperSimpleArchiver to move my locally recorded huge .ts files to my NAS so I added a few lines in the batch file prior to the moving that I run tsremux and then copy the new file over the original and then let the Archiver code make the move of the file and updated the location in gbpvr.

Although this adds an extra 10 minutes or so for hour long shows being able to consistently skip makes it worth it.

Can you set up tsremux to output directly to the NAS? It might save some time.

Martin

Yes....I haven't decided if the overhead with writing directly over the network vs. writing locally and then copying is any better or worse....I updated the logging info in the archive process to spit out some times so I'll be able to do some comparisons now.

I'll update this when I have the results.

Would mind sharing your postprocessing script? I am interested in trying out something similar.

Would mind sharing your postprocessing script? I am interested in trying out something similar.

It is actually coded as a Transcode option in the config.xml file. You then select a processing option for your files (i.e. mpeg, ts, etc.). Then GBPVR runs the script at the end of the recording.....I have mine set to start ASAP but you can schedule it run during certain hours.

In the gbpvr folder in the config.xml file I have this line in the <CustomFFmpegConversions> area...(I use this for my HD TS recordings):

Code:

<Conversion name="Archive to LinkStation" exe="Archiver\reloc.bat" cmd=" {SOURCE_FILE} &quot;\\lnkstn-bse65\Videos\TV\&quot;  &gt;archiver.log" targetExtension=".ts" />

In the gbpvr\third party\archiver folder (icreated the archiver folder) I have the reloc.bat file. It contains the following. This is a modified version of the SuperSImpleArchiver:

You will need to have the sqlite client in your gbpvr directory for the move of the recording to work.

I also commented out the line where I was calling tsremux....it was not doing as good as a job as I would like so I am experimenting with running videredo from a command line and just running the QuickStreamFix which seems to be working well.

My version writes individual archiver logs for each recording processed. The logs go to the gbpvr\third party\archiver\logs directory.
