VLC can not read audio MPEG TS from CSAT / recent Dreambox

Postby sebsto » 18 Oct 2010 12:47

Hello,

I am using VLC to read video / audio MPEG TS files recorded on Dreambox satellite receivers. I have two Dreambox at home, an old one (DM7000) and a recent one (DM800)

MPEG TS files for french radio from CSAT provider (Europe1, RTL etc ...) on the newer dreambox are not read by VLC (VLC remains silent)
Using the old Dreambox, everything is OK

Here is a TS file produced by the OLD DREAMBOX - Europe1 - MPEG TS can be read from VLC - OK
http://stormacq.com/VLC/dm700-europe1.ts (1.5 mb)

Here is a TS file produced by the NEW DREAMBOX - Europe1 - MPEG TS CAN NOT be read from VLC - NOK
http://stormacq.com/VLC/dm800-europe1.ts (8 mb)
The VLC log when reading this file is available here : http://stormacq.com/VLC/vlc-log.rtf

When demultiplexing the TS with ProjectX, it produces in BOTH CASES a valid MP2 file that can be read with VLC.
All the files produced by the demultiplexing process (including LOGs) are available here : http://stormacq.com/VLC/

This seems to be specific to CSAT radios, other FTA radios MPEG TS can be read when produced on the new dreambox.
VLC is not the only application having difficulties with these files. iTunes can not read them either.
I tested this with VLC 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 on Mac OS X and Linux.

Bug on the Dreambox ? Bug in VLC ?
What is wrong in this TS file ?
How can I further help to solve this ?

Thanks
Seb

Salut Seb!

What image are you running on your DM800? The services are on Astra 19,2°E, right? Then i'll look into it tomorrow

Hello,

Yes, all services are from CSAT on Astra 19.2E
I am using Open Pli but I have the same problem with the official image.

Thanks for your feedback

Seb

Here is a TS file produced by the NEW DREAMBOX - Europe1 - MPEG TS CAN NOT be read from VLC - NOK
http://stormacq.com/VLC/dm800-europe1.ts (8 mb)
The VLC log when reading this file is available here : http://stormacq.com/VLC/vlc-log.rtf
And the file is playing fine in other players including MPlayer.
You should open a ticket on the bug tracker with the links to your sample and your log.
