Playing TS files with mvpmc

[daneo]

Hi Martin,

just wondering about streaming my TS Mux files out to the mvpmc without transcoding them first -- do you know of any way to handle this yet?

Moving to TS Mux is godsend, but the remuxing (see other post from today) has always been a big issue.

I never knew mvpmc had a web front-end -- would it be possible to set the dongle to boot directly into emulation mode without going thru the 1st boot menu first?

Thanks,
Dane

Dane in config.xml you need to set

<MvpTranscodeTS> false</MvpTranscodeTS>

It is a per MVP setting you it needs to go in the <MVP-....> section.

Hi Martin,

found it -- works like a charm!

I'll see if I can discover any unpleasant side-effects otherwise well done for both Sub and Martin.

Thanks for the update, I am pleasantly surprised.

@Martin - I was wondering if you could shed some light on the way things work with <MvpTranscodeTS> set to false. Some background to the problem I'm trying to solve is in posts #1 and #3 of this thread...

To summarise, I get no sound on playback of .ts files in pvrx2 (on PC not MVP) regardless of audio decoder I use. I do, however, get sound with any decoder if I render the .ts file in Graphedit then create my own mpeg1 audio pin on the demux.

So (coming to the point)... I spotted this thread and decided to see what happened with mvpmc and <MvpTranscodeTS> set to false. Video is faultless but, again, no audio.

The common denominator is obviously the audio stream in the ts file but why wouldn't mvpmc be able to handle it when it's clearly OK when I create my own demux audio pin in Graphedit? :confused:

Try and hit the GO key followed by the Mute to tell emulation mode to try other other audio stream. If that doesn't work I suggest trying the file in mvpmc native mode directly from the mvpmc share folder. In the Filesystem mode you should be able to navigate to your file hit play and then the menu key will allow you to see what audio and video streams are in the ts.

Thanks - will try later when I have access to the tv/mvp again. I'm new to mvpmc so have yet to explore various features - I'll do some reading on native mode etc.

Cheers,

I got very excited (sad, I know) when I read here that we could play ts files on the MVP without transcoding and went to try it straight away. It did work too, sound and everything, but - skip just starts the file from the beginning again - is that expected?

[mvallevand]

macgyver, that is the kind of thing I expected. In emulation mode GBPVR is responsible for navigating the file and I don't think sub has updated any of the parsing logic to actually deal with a ts, it is pass through only.
