DVB-T (h264) mux streaming makes corrupted output

Hi,

I try to stream some channels from local (hungarian) dvb-t reception, but I have problems with it. The whole mux dump can be played without problem, like the live reception. When I seperate the channels to streams the SD (720*576i, HP@L3) channels get corrupted. The HD (1440*1080i, 1920*1080i HP@L4) channels can be streamed with good quality.
This is the official technical specification about the mux:

I tried streaming with tsreader lite from the mux dump and that was right. VLC played this stream without problem.
I saw that tsreader creates the stream like a multiplex: it has pat, pmt and sdt:

VLC streams out only elementary streams.

Here is a sample dump from the whole multiplex A (230MB), this can be played locally without problem:
http://logout.drag2web.com/multiplexa.ts
The dump made with this command:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe dvb:// --dvb-frequency=786000000 --dvb-srate=27500000 --dvb-bandwidth=8 --demux=dump :demuxdump-file=D:\multiplexa.ts
Here is the corrupted output on streaming:

VLC streaming command:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe d:\multiplexa.ts --sout=#duplicate{dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/m1},select="program=100",dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/m2},select="program=101",dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/rtl},select="program=60",dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/tv2},select="program=80",dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/info},select="program=112",dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/eunews},select="program=109"} --sout-keep --ttl 12 --sout-all --sout-ts-es-id-pid
- m1 m2 are HD channels.
- rtl, tv2, eunews, info are SD channels.

How can I stream with VLC valid streams? Is there a way to stream valid data with mux informations (pat, pmt, sdt) like tsreader does?
I tried to stream with ts{} parameters, like in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58049, but without success. The output was corrupted. I think this is a bug. Developers: Please test it with the multiplex dump file and fix this issue :)

VLC version is 1.1.11 but the previous versions are behave like this one, too.

it seems this "small" bug won't be fixed ever...

For sure, sarcastic comments do not fix bugs. Patch welcome.
