Hi,

Sorry to ask a silly question but... I'm running on a headless 2k3 server, which has a single DVB-T tuner (more soon hopefully), with all playback via HD200s.

Which of the above, if any would be applicable to me (I suspect the TSSplitter & MpegDeMux for TV record, but...???)?

Thanks!

Even there are fixes for DVB recording audio track bugs in this update,
if you are using HD200s/HD100 playing back and no issue with TV recording, there is no need to update so far.

Change log of 8/20/2009
1. Add audio support for TrueHD, DTS-MASTER.
2. Fix a TS/M2TS file play performance issue.
3. force M2TS file playing with the native MpegDeMux filter.
4. fix a buffer overrun crash bug.


Audio codecs supported for enhanced audio
TrueHD: ArcSoft auido decoder, ffdshow audio decoder.
DTS: AC3 audio decoder, ffdshow audio decoder
DTS-Masetr: ffdshow audio decoder (*)
EAC3: ffdshow audio decoder
AAC-HE: libfaad2 Wrapper


* check sage.properties "videoframe/dts_audio_decoder_filter=ffdshow Audio Decoder", in case AC3 audio is picked up first, due to its higher merit.

The filter doesn't seem to be using standard GUIDs for the TrueHD subtype (defined in wmcodec.h)?

DEFINE_GUID(MEDIASUBTYPE_DOLBY_TRUEHD, 0xeb27cec4, 0x163e, 0x4ca3, 0x8b, 0x74, 0x8e, 0x25, 0xf9, 0x1b, 0x51, 0x7e);

I only checked the TrueHD type and it is being presented as AC3 (which causes problems with AC3 filters).

The others are defined as (just in case):

DEFINE_GUID(MEDIASUBTYPE_DOLBY_DDPLUS, 0xa7fb87af, 0x2d02, 0x42fb, 0xa4, 0xd4, 0x5, 0xcd, 0x93, 0x84, 0x3b, 0xdd);
DEFINE_GUID(MEDIASUBTYPE_DTS_HD, 0xa2e58eb7, 0xfa9, 0x48bb, 0xa4, 0xc, 0xfa, 0xe, 0x15, 0x6d, 0x6, 0x45);

Oooh, that sounds interesting. Will it be any help for playing back TrueHD/DTS-MA on HD200?

If not, is there a plot to resolve and allow the device to support these formats properly?

Sorry -- don't know at what point the HD200 gets what from the server when playing back BD. That is, does the server do any processing / demux / filter / transcode, does the server send the raw .m2ts, does the server demux at least to save bandwidth, etc???

Hence all the silly questions....


Cheers!

I think the HD200 doesn't have the HW to bitstream those formats. It could decode and output multi-channel PCM if it has the HP to handle it (don't know if it does).

Ran a quick test, and TrueHD is working great.

Thanks for changing that.

Qian,

Where / how do you install the new myasyncflt.ax file? Do you have to re-run the TSSplitter3.0.ax Install.bat every time you upgrade, or only the first time?

[SHS]

myasyncflt.ax gose in same place as MpegDeMux.ax, TSSplitter3.0.ax dose and no you don't need run Install.bat unless uninstall it with other bat file

[ace007]

Is this applicable to Placeshifter clients at all? My laptop is running Windows 7 with the Placeshifter client.

THanks

...also, do you leave TSSplitter.ax (original) alone, or rename / delete / unregister it?

Thanks!

Placeshifter doesn't use this patch.

Leave the old TSSplitter.ax alone, it is called on by the old DShowCapture.ax. when you restore DshowCapture.ax after testing, you can also leave TSSplitter3.0.ax there, which is not used anymore.

Does this do closed captions from within the stream?

I installed this update (#3) to see if it would help with some play back problems I was occasionally having after installing version 6.6.2.218 and it looked like it was going to help. When I tried to tune into a digital station all I got was a No Signal indicator. Analog reception still worked fine. I reverted back to the previous files and the digital tuners are working again.

I have a PVR-350 analog tuner and an HVR-2250 with two analog/digital tuners. I could never get the HVR-2250 digital tuners to work reliably until version 6.6.2.218.

If it will help I will try this again tomorrow and provide log information.

Good night world.

Installed update #3 on my Windows 7 system and tested with HD-PVR recordings. Looks great and acceleration is working great (almost no CPU usage). The video stream died once when skipping back and forwards, but it did not happen again.

This is great stuff. I'm looking forward to the next release with this included.

Ive had almost the same issue via almost all versions of the patch. It seemed to fix my problems (skipping/stuttering on two channels) but then all other channels would get no signal (dvb-t). it would also seem to cause sagetv servie to crash randomly.

im running a headless server into a hd100.

can provide logs if required.

thanks.

edit: I havent tried the very latest version of the patch - only the first two versions.
