audio (and video) problems playing MPEG-2 TS files

[yigal26]

Hi,
When I playing a MPEG-2 TS file created by Conexant chip I have a number of problems.
The 1st problem is that video freezes after some time and DEBUG window shows running "late picture skipped" messages. I overcame this problem by unchecking the "Drop late frames" and "Skip frames" video options.
The 2nd problem I'd like to discuss here regards to audio. While playing these TS files after some time the audio disapears and there are a lot of "PTS is out of range (time), dropping buffer" (see below). I found that it's related to "aout_InputPlay" procedure in "src/audio_output/input.c". There the buffer time is compared to mdate() + AOUT_MIN_PREPARE_TIME, and the last is defined as
#define AOUT_MIN_PREPARE_TIME (mtime_t)(.04*CLOCK_FREQ).

I must note that I ran those TS files through the VEGA MPEG-2 analyzer and no errors has been found, neither in video or audio.

The PTS is out of range keeps running till EOF.

Thanks for your help

[px64]

Thank you. I have received the same error messages and have wondered what they meant.

Have you tried playing the video using the Elecard MPEG-2 decoder? I find that it is more robust to these kinds of errors.

From reading over aout_Inputplay in input.c, it looks like that error occurs when the audio PTS is too close to the PCR.

[yigal26]

There is no audio problems playing the same files with MPlayer for Windows or using libmad library. One of the my questions is why that value of (.04*CLOCK_FREQ) for #define AOUT_MIN_PREPARE_TIME (mtime_t)(.04*CLOCK_FREQ) has been chosen? Is the choice based on MPEG standard specifications?

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

i have the same problem playing a mp3 audio stream on a embedded device. i also wonder about the reason of the value of AOUT_MIN_PREPARE_TIME
