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?

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

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts (use the default ones) and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.
