MPlayer has several, different problems with this file: demuxer lavf does not support AAC in ts: This is FFmpeg issue 244 (which is open since exactly two years) tsprog did not work correctly for demuxer lavf: Reimar just fixed that. Video cannot be decoded correctly, the following command line shows this best: mplayer mux2.share.ts -demuxer lavf -vid 7 -nosound -nocorrect-pts (This is new ffmpeg issue 1523) Note that there is a reception error after ~2 seconds, the problems I mean can be seen afterwards throughout the whole recording. (wrong picture ordering? Why does it work with vlc?) I do not understand why the native demuxer (that does support audio) does not work correctly: It looks as if it does not like the PMT. As a work-around, you can change "es->type = VIDEO_MPEG2;" in libmpdemux/demux_ts.c to "es->type = VIDEO_H264;" - with -ac +faad, you can then play the stream (somehow, see above). Nico, could you have a look why PMT is not read for this stream (incoming/mux2.share.ts)? Carl Eugen
