Video becomes garbled when playing H264 - MPEG-4 AVC Source

[JonathonM]

I have a Panasonic PVR which is able to stream any program which I have recorded off TV (New Zealand Freeview DVB-T) and some of the play fine in VLC (both V1.1.11 and V1.2.0RC1). Others play the video fine but with no sound. And still others play the sound fine but the video starts fine but then becomes garbled.

This is reproducible but I have been unable to discern a pattern other than it occurs in most HD video.

The Codecs in use according to the media information are as follows:
Stream 0
- Video
- Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)
- Resolution: 1920x1080
- Frame rate: 50

Stream 1
- Audio
- Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
- Channels: Stereo
- Sample rate: 48000 Hz
- AAC extension: SBR

I have tested the speed of my PVR and it does have sufficient bandwidth to stream the video over my network. If anyone can think of any reason why this might be happening I would be grateful for any advice. I will do my best to answer any questions which might shed light.

Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) might reveal something.

When playing the file, the following lines repeat themselves although the hexadecimal numbers are different every time.

ts debug: skipping 14 bytes of garbage
ts warning: discontinuity received 0xf instead of 0xe (pid=261)
ts warning: lost synchro
ts debug: skipping 14 bytes of garbage
ts warning: discontinuity received 0xb instead of 0xa (pid=261)
ts warning: lost synchro

I tested the file by viewing it using the TV connected directly to the PVR and the file does play correctly that way, just not over DLNA.

[Lotesdelere]

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to Multiupload.com or to EmbedUpload.com, so it will upload the file for you to several other hosts, and then post the link to the file here.

[JonathonM]

This is the full log. The PVR is Freeview Certified and subject to a lot of copy right protections so I currently have no available option to directly copy the stream. The closest I can get is to stream the video to file using VLC but that includes the garbled video and I cannot see that being particularly helpful. If I think of something I will upload a stream.

[VLC_help]

Those TS messages would indicate that the stream is damaged or VLC parses it incorrectly. Can you use wget, curl or similar to capture from that device?

[JonathonM]

I'm not familiar with either of those and I am not sure what protocol DLNA uses to pass streams between server and client. I will try wget when I get home from work.

[VLC_help]

According to the VLC, URL is http://192.168.2.107:60001/AV-0-2684354 ... 799041_BDY

[JonathonM]

That is correct. I get that address from WMP12 and then use it to stream in VLC. If I use the VLC stream to file utility and select raw file will it change the stream in anyway? Would this produce the same stream as using either of the above utilities? I haven't made it home to check either yet.

[VLC_help]

Demux dump should work unless there is a bug in communicating between VLC HTTP client and your devices HTTP server.

[JonathonM]

I tried this when I got home but the size of the raw file is extremely large. What length video do you need to test? I'm fighting a small monthly cap at the moment.

[VLC_help]

Few megabytes is enough. You can cut TS streams with any binary cutter. One way is to use Virtualdub hex editor

[JonathonM]

I have uploaded 10s or so of the stream.
