M2TS doesnt play from NAS (win7 64bit) VLc 1.01

[kenji786]

I just installed windows 7 64 bit and VLC 1.01. Looking forward to a pc not cluttered with codecs all over the place. Everything fine except two m2ts files. I don't dee anything. Weird thing is though that if I look at mediaproperties - statistics - I see the numbers constantly increasing - as if - it is playing something.

codec details says:
Stream 0 - sub - codec subt
Stream 1 - video h264
Stream 2 - Audio codec a52
stream 3 - Audio codec a52

I searched the forums but m2ts should work. File plays fine on my HTPC (linux / xbmc) and also played fine when I still had xp and several codec packs. Any clues what I can try?

Give us short sample file.

I just made one with tsmuxer and it does play...weird. any suggestions on how to cut a sample file while keeping the structure?

[kenji786]

Update: now I am really puzzled. The m2ts file is located on my NAS. Windows Mediaplayer plays it from there. VLC won't as I described in my opening post - I will see only the VLC media player window, although in media properties the numbers are running as if something is playing.

Yesterday I cut a piece of the movie using TSMuxer, m2ts target file and just first minute. I stored it locally and VLC plays it. VLC also shows more info now in media information, like screen resolution and audio language and bitrate. It appears to be more - not different.

I then decided to copy the whole movie back from my NAS to local storage, and it runs in VLC. So main conclusion is that VLC can play the file, but not from my NAS. What could be an explanation for this? I am connected to my NAS with 100mbit cable, and partly through powerline ethernet (specs are 200mbit, tool reports 160mbit download, but I know from experience that it is not as fast/stable as true 100mbit). However windows media player manages to play it the same way, so that should not be it. What am I missing?

Can you try to increase the cache?

[VLC_help]

Could you open Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) before trying to open the file from NAS and paste messages here?

I get:
main error: option sub-original-fps does not exist

And with verbose level 2:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=11896
that helps?

[kenji786]

No, just pasted the verbose logs here as requested. Playing over lan still doesnt work.
Also increased cache to "higher latency" - doesnt help.

Does the verbose log hold any clue?

[VLC_help]

And it still complains about subtitle issues if you remove the subtitle file?

[kenji786]

That's it! With srt file gone it plays (guess I only copied movie over locally).

Just opened the srt in notepad and it looks fine (see below). both movie an srt are named 00000.m2ts and 00000.srt. Why wouldnt that work?

Why not call it
the Big Chill or the Nippy era?

I'm just sayin',
how do we know it's an Ice age?

codec details says:
Stream 0 - sub - codec subt
Stream 1 - video h264
Stream 2 - Audio codec a52
stream 3 - Audio codec a52

I believe I've read somewhere that ffmpeg (which VLC is based on) is getting troubles if the first stream is a subtitles stream.
Not to mention that I'm not sure if the M2TS container can handle SRT subtitles properly.

Maybe you should remux to MKV and respect the default standard order of streams to ensure the best possible compatibility:
Video stream(s) first
Audio stream(s)
Subtitles

[kenji786]

Thanks, but I removed the external sub and that solved it. Also I think XBMC is also based on ffmpeg, and it doesnt have problems. weird. I'll try and remove the internal sub file and see what happens.

[kenji786]

little closer to a clue. I remuxed to m2ts file and kept only one video and audio stream. media info in vlc only shows these two streams as well and file plays. As soon as I drop the .srt file in the same folder playback stops. If I then check mediainfo the substream is seen as stream 0. This can only be the external sub. Somehow VLC makes it stream 0?

[VLC_help]

VLC autoloads subtitle files by default (and lists them in streams). There behavior you are seeing is a bug and I will open trac ticket for this later.

[kenji786]

Thanks. Glad to at least have pinpointed the problem.

[dl2rcf]

Hello,

I am using the Workaround calling "vlc --demux ffmpeg"

However, is there any news about solving issue #3075 as of 2015?

(Issue is: VLC hangs when subrip file of the same name/directory is present when doubleclicking on the .m2ts/ .ts video file)

[midas02]

Having the same issue. Very disappointing this still isn't fixed after six year!
