Updated by Randy M about 10 years ago

After a re-install with a newer version (1278 and 1281) it doesn't play at all.
From 16 channels in this mux 2 are affected with this "bug". I'll enable debug when home and upload log.

#4

Updated by Randy M about 10 years ago

XBMC debug log (if useful) from other user can be found here http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/42715753#42715753

#5

Updated by Randy M about 10 years ago

I tested a few versions, 3.4 and up until 3.9.512 and then the specific channel works.
I think when i upgrade to 3.9.1084 it still works but need to test, after that it breaks!

#6

Updated by Randy M about 10 years ago

Version 3.9.1341 does work on iPad but doesn't in XBMC

1. Nick Jr. works on version 3.4 for XBMC and iPad
2. Nick Jr. works on version 3.9.1341 for iPad
3. Nick Jr. DOESN'T work on version 3.91341 for XBMC

What do you mean by Ipad? vlc, tvh app, xbmc,..?
You can try with the new xbmc tvh addon from here:

(windows builds on last page, linux a few pages back)

Glenn Martinez
Actually i'm not sure how he played it on his iPad.
What i do know is that using "Adam's" addon doesn't solve the issue.

I also tested it on my android phone using TVHguide (http://john-tornblom.github.io/TVHGuide/download.html) and BSplayer and i'm getting the same result, channel won't play.

When i downgrade to version 3.9.512 everything is working again bot in XBMC and BSplayer.

#9

Updated by glenn ch about 10 years ago

Does v3.9.1120 work?
If so, does v3.9.1133?

#10

Updated by Randy M about 10 years ago

I'll test them asap.

#11

Updated by Randy M about 10 years ago

I didn't have 1120 in my possession but do have 1084, that one works.
When i installed 1133, it breaks

#12

Updated by Martijn Hoogenbosch about 10 years ago

Is there any progress on this issue?

I have the same issue, on two channels:

Zenderoverzicht HD
Nick Jr.

@ipad tvh app played with vlc player the channels work just fine. Old versions work fine too.

#13

Updated by J H about 10 years ago

Just noticed Nostalgie Net also doesn't work with recent build

#14

Updated by Martijn Hoogenbosch almost 10 years ago

Is there any progress on this issue. Now i know i cannot push anyone but i'd like to see if i can help. Maybe provide more logfiles, maybe provide a remote session of some kind?

#15

Updated by Martijn Hoogenbosch almost 10 years ago

Ziggo TV also doesn't work anymore.

#16

Updated by Martijn Hoogenbosch almost 10 years ago

There are now six channels which doesn't work anymore since 3.9.1133

Nick Jr.
Nostalgienet
Zenderoverzicht HD
Ziggo TV
Euronews
France2

#17

Updated by Beralt Meppelink almost 10 years ago

I think I tracked this down to the muxer. When doing a DVR with one of the channels mentioned, and using the the Matroska stream profile, not a single byte ends up on disk. Changing this to a pass-through muxer solves these problems entirely.

Moreover the mentioned channels seem to report strange properties on their streams when using the pass-through muxer. This might explain why the internal muxer won't add those to the resulting MKV stream.

Unfortunately I don't own a subscription to most of the channels mentioned here. I tested the above with NostalgieNet.

#18

Updated by Beralt Meppelink almost 10 years ago

Attached a short NostalgieNet TS file which does not work if you would use the Matroska muxer.

#19

Updated by Jaroslav Kysela almost 10 years ago

This issue should be fixed in master, commits:

tsfix, htsp: wait only for first video stream
globalheaders: reduce scan time, add warning for disabled streams

Note that the second video stream does contain some "unknown" data (it is not really mpeg2video stream). It completely confused tvh..

#20

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

Just updated to latest git version and still the same problem with these channels.

Grab TS stream (from service - use URL in the services grid - configuration) and upload it here..

EDIT: It appears like an another problem than with the NostalgieNet channel..

#23

Updated by Jaroslav Kysela almost 10 years ago

I tried all these .TS streams and they work with the recent code. Not sure which issues you have with them. Only France2 has wrong PMT tables - it's fixed in v3.9-2228-g9469ef0 .

EDIT: Tested with XBMC 13.2 .

#24

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

I have the latest and greatest version running now, and no France 2 for example. If VLC plays the streams correct, would you suggest there's something wrong with the PVR part of XBMC/KODI?

#25

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

Ok, just tested my own .ts files on Kodi, they play fine. Stupid I haven't tested before. I exported the files with VLC and to be sure, VLC does not alter the .ts file in some kind of way?

It's better to use 'wget' to the play URL in the service grid. But I think that vlc saves streams without mods by default.

Could you try vlc, but force the 'matroska' profile? Just add '?profile=matroska' or '&profile=matroska' (the second one with & is valid if you see ?title=) to the end of URL offered in tvh webui.. Matroska uses same A/V data packetizer like the HTSP protocol (used by XBMC).

#27

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

Just tried and with the matroska profile VLC plays Euronews, France 2, Nick Jr, NostalgieNet just fine.
Zenderoverzicht HD; same problem - frozen

ZiggoTV plays fine on VLC and Kodi, so that one can be removed from the list.

#28

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

NostalgieNet is audio only on Kodi

#29

Updated by Jaroslav Kysela almost 10 years ago

  • Subject changed from Sound but no picture to Kodi: Sound but no picture

Could you use '--enable-tsdebug' for configure and run tvheadend with the '--tsdebug <dir>' option ? I would check a short (20 second) .TS stream (use whole mux URL from the mux grid) for Zenderoverzicht HD. Two files should be in the tsdebug directory. It's enough to upload only mux.ts one.

#31

Updated by Randy M almost 10 years ago

I updated today to version 3.9.2280 and still have (even more) channels that don't work.

Haven't read the follow-ups that thoroughly but will try to provided info. (can also give remote access to my TVH system if wanted, just drop me a PM)

#32

Updated by Randy M almost 10 years ago

I checked system but it's unclear how to provide the needed files.

Any assistance?

#33

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

Jaroslav, could please take a look at the mux.ts file I added?

#34

Updated by Jaroslav Kysela almost 10 years ago

DTS and PTS for audio and video tracks are not in sync from the provider (looking to 738MHz in Ziggo-1418426488-0x1ae29b0-mux.ts, channel "Zenderoverzicht HD"):

[  TRACE]:parser: pkt stream  2 MPEG2AUDIO   type   dts 37194789644 (3347531068) pts 37194789644 (3347531068) dur       2351 len        626
[  TRACE]:parser: pkt stream  1 H264         type I dts 38841249055 (3495712415) pts 38841249055 (3495712415) dur       3600 len     243268
3495712415 - 3347531068 = 148181347
148181347 / 90000.0 = 1646.4594111111112 seconds

I don't know, how to sync these streams in tvh. The timestamps must be valid and tvh allows only really small difference (few seconds). You may use "--trace parser" to see these differences.

If I look to this channel in mplayer using the passthrough muxer, I see also this A/V difference in the status line.

#35

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

Ok, and what about the other channels? Zenderoverzicht HD wasn't working on VLC, but the other stations are. Any chance to find out what goes wrong with those?

I've hookedup an old dvb-c tuner, and Zenderoverzicht HD runs very badly on it aswell, constantly audio issues. So that is kind of what you are saying.

Other channels though, like Nick Jr. and France2 are working very well. For reference i've added a ts file from Nick Jr which doesn't work in Kodi, but does work when using the ipad applicaton and works when recording it with a passthrough profile.

#37

Updated by Jaroslav Kysela almost 10 years ago

Could you try latest (v3.9-2295-g74090c6)? I found a little problem in the HTSP server.

#38

Updated by J H almost 10 years ago

NostalgieNet working again, the rest is not. Changes I noticed on Zenderoverzicht and Zenderoverzicht HD is that I hear audio now but it has to buffer a lot.

I cannot test other encrypted channels in the mux (.ts file you provided), because keys are available only for "watched" channels - not for all channels. So, we know that Zenderoverzicht HD has wrong DTS/PTS sync, so if you like to check another channel, provide another mux dump when the channel/service was active (watched) to get encryption keys.

how can i do this, as i cannot watch any of these channels. Should i watch a channel from the mux and record the malfunction channel? Is that sufficient? or should i tune to the channel and try to do a recording?

Okay, i've tuned the TV to Nick Jr. which results in... nothing :) but i see the channel playing in TVHeadend. So i started a recording on the same channel and uploaded it.

I tried this .ts file with XBMC 13.2 and it works.. I don't use direct play, but I use this .ts file as input to tvheadend using --tsfile option (it creates another special input from the specified file) - so the whole processing chain is kept like from the linuxdvb input.. Could you test with another xbmc version or vlc htsp plugin ?

#43

Updated by Jaroslav Kysela almost 10 years ago

Zenderoverzicht HD: Workaround is in v3.9-2299-g0324cf8 . The audio is manually synced with video, but if this channel will broadcast something other than info-graphics, the lip-sync will be probably lost until the streaming restarts.

Okay, and which built is this? Is this with some commits or does it just work? Because i can play the recording from Kodi, only live tv doesn't work. I'm using TVHeadend 3.9.2293.

okay, that's great, the channel probally won't be broadcasting anything else than it does right now. It has a overview of all the channels, zenderoverzicht means channeloverview. Thanks for your effort, much appriciated!

The channels works fine in VLC for Mac, but not on Kodi, I get audio only.

I think that the original report was resolved. @Cassio - try to upgrade to lasest master and disable 'packet backlog' in the general config.
