yupp.

while you guys fix this problem, i'll stay with 0.71 for a while. can't post any debug message because vlc exited right after opening the file.

good luck guys!

the versions should be:
0.72 ---> 0.7.2
0.71 ---> 0.7.1

sorry.

You mean it crashed? Try opening the files like this: file/ts2://<path to file>

tried file/ts2://<path to file> ... but it crashed right after opening the video window

does other videos play with this vlc?

yes. dvds, divx, xvid videos works fine. and still no problem with mpeg2 (ps) files.

in case you're wondering, i'm using vlc-0.7.1 and vlc-0.7.2 from the win32 zip file; each extracted and run from different folders

i just get sound no video

Upload a sample of such a TS file to:
ftp://ftp.videolan.org/incoming

and post filename here.

I'm sorry, I can't upload any of them, since the smallest file is 500MB+. is there any other way?

managed to get a file that can reproduce the symptoms i mentioned in my previous posts, and small enough to upload to the ftp. the filename is "POPJAM20040531_Ending.ts" (without the quotes, of course).

just in case you want to make sure if the upload goes all right, the md5 checksum is:

a77d8a197757cbf279b78158411e2dcd POPJAM20040531_Ending.ts

and the size is 93,076,356 bytes.

Problem confirmed

Hi garapheane,

0.7.2 crash on openning any Japanese HDTV TS file with AAC audio track.

From the TS filename you mentioned, it's a Japanese HDTV TS recording.

0.7.0 plays these TS file fine but the 2 HDTV stations in 1440x1080i format vlc won't play the AAC track (no audio).

0.7.1 plays all TS with AAC track but the audio will often change "pitch" (faster/slower)!

0.7.2 just crash on any of these HDTV TS file.

Li On

0.7.2 just crash on any of these HDTV TS file.

not quite true i think. there are some files that 0.7.2 can play. i just can't seem to find one playable mpeg-ts that is small enough to upload to videolan's ftp.

sorry for pushing this topic up, but i'd want to know the status of this problem. i hope devs would shed some light on this. thank you.

Well did you try the 0.8.0-test1 release yet?

i have been able to pinpoint this to a problem in the faad decoder library, which decodes the aac audio in these files. You run the file without crashing by using --noaudio.

Problem fixed in the development version.
Try the next nightly build: http://www.videolan.org/~videolan/

Just tried the 0906 built. It no longer crash on TS AAC openning. It plays the TS for a few seconds with correct picture (I think), then CRASH. And instantly CRASH when I try to re-run it!

Please keep improving! Thanks in advance.

PS: I just uploaded a small clip around 22MB to the ftp.videolan.org /incoming Filename is BShi-54RedWhite-Rimoko.0000.ts The clip play time is around 6 seconds I think. That is the clip I just tried with the above problem. My system is WinXP SP1.

I said next build... which means the 0907 one :p

garapheane, you could chop off a part of a .ts file with hdtv2mpeg.
