Hi Carl, It's not playing with the "-demuxer lavf" switch: mplayer gives up saying "LAVF: no audio or video headers found - broken file?" (more output below) Maybe this is due to my currently mistake with the channels.conf MPEG2/H264 botch as noted by Nico? I'd better see if I can work that one out first. (actually I'll put my existing channels.conf below also). I'm not sure what I should modify in my channels.conf to [help] identify the codec (I only ever concerned myself about the video/audio ids with DVB-S and DVB-T up to now). Derek My channels.conf: - RTE1:738000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_AUTO:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:1101:1201:1101 RTE2:738000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_AUTO:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:1102:1202:1102 TV3:738000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_AUTO:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:1103:1203:1103 TG4:738000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_AUTO:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:1104:1204:1104 mplayer -demuxer lavf output: - [h264 @ 0x985a3c0]mmco: unref short failure LAVF: Program 1101 LAVF: Program 1102 LAVF: Program 1103 LAVF: Program 1104 LAVF: Program 1226 LAVF: Program 1227 LAVF: Program 1228 LAVF: Program 1229 LAVF: no audio or video headers found - broken file?
