[Solved] Regression (since PMS) when using tsMuxer alone

Post by Cabal »

Use case: CPU-limited system, can easily remux but not transcode. This issue applies to both 2.6.5 and 3.0.0-b1 (and earlier). I only have OS X to test on, haven't tried elsewhere.

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Fresh install, fresh settings.
2.) Disable all video engines except tsMuxer.
3.) Use known-good file (i.e. MKV with constant frame rate H.264).
4.) Result: a file that plays successfully with this setup on PMS fails to play on UMS.

Side note: Fallback from Mencoder -> tsMuxer also fails. Seems like a wider tsMuxer issue.

Debug zip attached, thanks.

Thanks for this, Cabal. I've fixed it now. I can't compile for OS X so you'll have to wait for the next release to get the fix, unless you can convince Optimus to build the latest code for you ;)

Awesome, thanks! No rush, I can wait for beta 2.

If time allows, I'll look into building the latest code myself.

I wish there was a way to tag people like how you can in Git... lol

There probably is a plugin for that, I'll look into it

Hmm I installed the mod but it looks like it doesn't work with newer versions of PHPBB, it was abandoned a while ago. I'll try to update it

If you have Java 7 jdk installed you could try out this release with the changes http://sourceforge.net/projects/unimedi ... es/OS%20X/
I'm not able to compile the changes into the release yet. If you want i can compile with only the tsMuxer changes only?

Great work, I tested out 3.0.0 today and the issue is resolved.

As a bonus, it allows me to use tsMuxer for MKV files with subtitle tracks (and obviously ignore the subtitles). In comparison, PMS* only allows me to do anything with such a file if Mencoder is enabled as an engine, otherwise the file is hidden. Please don't "fix" that.

*As of 1.82.0, the last version without that installer nonsense.

Glad to know that 3.0.0 worked out for you!
