Format Detector Plugin for SageTV

[JREkiwi]

SageTV detects recordings as

format=MPEG2-TS 1:45:10 2884 kbps [#0 Video[H.264 25.0 fps 1440x1080 16:9 interlaced id=0200]#1 Audio[AC3 48000 Hz 2 channels 384 kbps MAIN idx=1 id=0201 eng]

Your plugin detects same files as

format=MPEG2-TS 1:45:11 4829 kbps [#0 Video[H.264 50.0 fps 1440x1080 interlaced id=100]#1 Audio[AC3 48000 Hz 2 channels 384 kbps idx=1 id=101 eng]

HD300 plays file when format detected by SageTV
HD300 sits with spinning circle when format detected by your plugin and logs

I think I may have found a minor problem with this plugin but I am not 100% sure - I recently updated to the latest miniclient on my Nvidia Shields and FireTVs and upgraded to the latest Windows x64 SageTV server version 9.2.2. After installing this plugin, I can no longer see the chapters, or skip through them, of HEVC-10 encoded MKV blu-ray rips. When I display the info on the file playing, it has no chapter indicators. Previously, this was working before I updated all of this. Can anyone confirm?

Hi John,

Do you think you could possibly send me a clip of this file. I would like to dig into it a little deeper.

Somehow I completely missed this post. That darn ID property strikes again. I may need to ask Narflex what that property means. I think the combination of the wrong framerate and wrong track IDs is what is clearly breaking it.

If you need these to work you can turn on the internal format detector, while still using the plugin.

This is a missing feature in the plugin. I will add chapters to the todo list. I think that was just an oversight on my part.

Thanks!

Found the ID!!!

Apparently it is a HEX value. That is why I was struggling to find it. I saw return value of 256 when looking for 101... I assumed it was not the right value and moved on.

Anyway, I think if I fix the ID, and figure out the framerate, then that should fix that file.

Minor release posted. Found an issue where the format parser was blowing up if there was a data stream in the file (A stream that is only data). This issue should be fixed.

Let me know any sees any additional issues.

Hi,

I am following this thread in an attempt to fix my playback issues on Firestick 4k. Do you have a working SageTV MediaFormatParser plugin that works in Linux 64? After amending my Win 10 configuration everything seems to be working smoothly there. I just need to have same functionality on my Linux server then my Sagetv use will be golden! The root of my issues seem to be with the Exoplayer.

I got a build of the code working on Linux (with my very limited 3 test files) but I have not yet merged my changes in with Josh's main project, mostly due to several long term $work distractions. I hope to get this completed in the next few weeks so everyone can try it out.

Hey I installed your plugin on a old WinXP 32bit SageTV Server - Running JRE 8u74. It's also running version 9.2.2. I had JRE 7 installed but the plugin complained it was too old

I downloaded these files:
JavaFFmpegLibraryWin32_v0.5.zip
MediaFormatParserPlugin_v0.7.zip
sage.jar <<- I didn't use this as I'm running 9.2.2

I used the Manual Method as my plugin manager doesn't seem to work, not sure why. I can't figure that one out

Every file it tries to parse gives me this error:

I would double check that the jar files and dll files where placed in the right places. This is saying it is having an issue finding all of the code.

There is a number of dll files that should go into the root of the SageTV folder, and a Jar or two that need to go into the jars folder.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Josh

Let me know if you need any help! If you do have some free time I could also use some help with the SageTVTranscoder and getting a build that works on Linux . And some other possible fixes.

I know what you mean about work distractions!

Thanks,
Josh

[CptKirk]

Josh,

Do you still need to do this if you have the latest Version 9.2.4 (2021-04-16) installed?

Download the pre-release version of the Sage.jar and place it into the root of the SageTV folder
sage.jar alpha build
Note: There is new functionallity that is required for this plugin to work. Upgrading the jar is required.

No you do not. I think the functionality was added in 9.2.2...

Hey Josh,

I didn't get an email for the reply. And kinda forgot about configuring this. Well it still doesn't work. I tried extracting ALL the files again. I'm now running 9.2.5.

Two .jar files in:
D:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\JARs
MediaFormatParserPlugin.jar
JavaFFmpeg.jar

DLLs are all in:
D:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\

I do see avcodec-51.dll and avutil-49.dll would that mess things up? from 2018

I seem to get the error above on MKV. On mp4 I just saw this one?

For some reason with the mp4 it said "Now Using external format detector" and it worked? I dono what it's using LOL.

So from the error it is stating it can not find "avutil-56.dll" in the SageTV directory. That should be installed with the plugin. Can you confirm if it is present. The plugin has a dependency on the library javaffmpeglibrary. Maybe the dependent library did not install properly.

I am pretty sure, but not 100% positive, that I added a fallback in the event the plugin failed it would use the old method. That is probably why it is sill working.

Yeah the file is there. It's so weird! Here's the files screenshot taken from my Desktop.


I followed your manual instructions by just unzipping the ZIP file into the Sage directory.

Hmmm. Interesting. Are you using the right bit version for the SageTV install? x32 for 32bit SageTV vs the 64bit? Is there a reason you were not using the plugin manager.

I think the error might possibly be that it can’t find another DLL that avutil-56.dll is dependent upon because it listed the full path the the DLL in the error.

Josh, can your run dependency walker on that DLL and see what else it may need?

They are pre-built statically linked, so they should not require anyother DLLs.
