Hi,
with version 2.2.1 (and 2.1.5) of vlc media-player I came across a problem
concerning the playback of .TS-containers, recorded by a Kathrein UFS DVB-S2-receiver (which worked fine with earlier versions of vlc media-player):
Trying to play back those .TS-files, VLC produces CPU-load and allocates remarkable amounts of RAM, but no audio-
nor video-output occurs.
I reprodueced this problem with two different systems, an 2012 MacBookPro (core i7, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA-GPU, OSX Yosemite)
and a intel NUC D54250WYK (core i5, 8GB RAM, intel HD5000-GPU, MS Win8.1).
In both cases, vlc did also not terminate at all (OSX) or not properly (MS-Win), leaving background-tasks (MS-Win), such that vlc had to be
terminated by task-manger.
An intermediate solution is downgrade from vlc-2.2.1 to vlc-2.0.8. With vlc-2.0.8 the playback of .TS-containers works fine on both systems MS-Win8.1 and OSX.
Due to security issues of 2.0.8 I'd prefer to have 2.2.1 installed.
Does anybody know a workaround? Or is this a bug in 2.1.5 and 2.2.1 that will hopefully be solved by later versions?
