Decoding live multicast MPEG2 video encounters problems

Postby dhirwinjr » 06 Aug 2008 16:25

I'm using VLC to decode live MPEG2 multicast video. VLC will successfully play the live video but every so often I get very pixalated video along with the following errors in the messages window:

Code: Select all

libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered main error: decoder is leaking pictures, resetting the heap main error: picture to date 01064E18 has invalid status 6 main error: picture to display 01064E18 has invalid status 6 main error: picture 01064E18 refcount is -1 libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered main error: decoder is leaking pictures, resetting the heap libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered main error: picture 01065038 refcount is -1 main error: picture to date 01064D08 has invalid status 6 main error: picture to display 01064D08 has invalid status 6 main error: picture 01064D08 refcount is -1 libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered
Note that these error messages didn't all occur at once.

My question...is there any way to prevent or at least minimize the pixalation through either VLC configuration changes or through other changes?

I'm running VLC 0.8.6i on Windows XP.

Thanks,
Dave
