But I don't expect more bugs in snoop than in the other components, since simply parse+display headers is trivial compared to demux+parse+reshuffle+generate_additional_headers+mux > Have you tried iso13818ps from http://www.scara.com/~schirmer/o/mplex13818/ ? > (linked from http://linuxtv.org/projects.php , BTW) Thanks for the link. Description looks promising. But neither mplayer nor vlc plays the output created by mplex13818-1.1.1/iso13818ps --ts z.ts >z.iso.ps Mplayer gives no audio and 8x8 (or 16x16?) squares which keep changing colors. vlc gives black video and no audio. The output of my parsing script looks like this: ./parsesnoop z.iso.ps 20 pkt-nr id len PTS DTS ESCR SCR 00000001 0xba 0x000e 0:00:01.9250 00000004 0xe0 0x000e 18:48:10.2516 00000043 0xba 0x000e 0:00:01.9250 00000044 0xc1 0x090e 18:48:10.0074 00000045 0xba 0x000e 0:00:01.9250 00000046 0xc0 0x150e 18:48:10.0561 00000047 0xba 0x000e 0:00:01.9630 00000048 0xe0 0x000e 18:48:10.2916 00000087 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.0390 00000088 0xe0 0x0014 18:48:10.4516 18:48:10.3316 00000127 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.0390 00000128 0xe0 0x000e 18:48:10.3716 00000167 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.0770 00000168 0xe0 0x000e 18:48:10.4116 00000207 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.0790 00000208 0xc1 0x090e 18:48:10.1514 00000209 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.1150 00000210 0xe0 0x0014 18:48:10.5716 18:48:10.4516 00000249 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.1150 00000250 0xc0 0x150e 18:48:10.2241 00000251 0xba 0x000e 0:00:02.1530 Here's another interesting point: Yesterday, I had a TS capture which, when converted to PS by ffmpeg or ts2ps, played fine on both, mplayer and vlc. iso13818ps did not produce a usable output. I always do captures for this test from the same broadcast (german ZDF channel on Astra). This means that at least for ts2ps, the result depends on the time of the capture. Maybe changed bitrate or resolution or something. > You mentioned you are discarding the adaptation fields. This means > you don't handle timebase discontinuities. I have stopped talking about my program some days ago. I don't see any point in adopting my program to a broken stream. Thus, before I continue on my program, I want to make sure I have a proper reference. I am talking about tools like ts2ps and iso13818ps, which don't produce a usable stream. I don't think the output of those programs should be affected by the question whether I ignore adaptation or not. > Try to feed the original > TS to iso13818ps (not your filtered one), it should handle it correctly. I _am_ feeding the original TS (including adaptation-only packets). As you can see in my previous mail, I am capturing the TS into a file and feed this file as input to any of the test candidates. Whether I ignore adaptation should not affect the other candidates in any way. > ISO-13818-4 (MPEG2 conformance testing) explains a bit how the > decoder model works. Look for document "ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 N0804". Thanks for the hint. Looks like that's the only way to get any clarification in this mess. > (I'm assuming you already have "ITU-T Recommendation H.222.0" aka > ISO-13818-1) Yes, I have read it countless times. But I must admit that there are many points unclear to me. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
