mythcommflag gets mpeg2video errors not seen in playback

mythcommflag gives a large number of [mpeg2video @ 0xb73ddb68]current_picture not initalized 2007-09-03 11:09:32.693 AFD Error: Unknown decoding error on firewire streams captured on a comcast cable box. The commerical marking on these streams are very unreliable, clearly the time offsets generated are out of sync with the video playback. These particular streams are from extended basic sd digital channels (fx,usa, comedy central, ..) which are encrypted. However, the firewire captured mpeg transport streams play perfectly well in myth. OTA streams captured in the same way don't seem to have this problem. My thought is that mythcommflag is not using the same codec as the myth native player. Here is some comparative output From mythfrontend 2007-09-03 11:19:50.195 AFD: Stream #0, has id 0x2240 codec id MPEG2VIDEO, type Video, bitrate 15000000 at 0x0x884a910 2007-09-03 11:19:50.196 detectInterlace(Detect Scan, Interlaced Scan, 29.97, 480) ->Interlaced Scan 2007-09-03 11:19:50.196 AFD: Looking for decoder for MPEG2VIDEO 2007-09-03 11:19:50.196 AFD: Opened codec 0x8b24860, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video) From mythcommflag 2007-09-03 11:09:32.035 AFD: Stream #0, has id 0x2240 codec id MPEG2VIDEO, type Video, bitrate 15000000 at 0x0x81ff890 2007-09-03 11:09:32.037 detectInterlace(Detect Scan, Interlaced Scan, 29.97, 480) ->Interlaced Scan 2007-09-03 11:09:32.037 AFD: Looking for decoder for MPEG2VIDEO 2007-09-03 11:09:32.037 AFD: Opened codec 0x81ff990, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video) What strikes me is that mythfrontend sees 0x0x884a910 and opens codec 0x8b24860. mythcommflag sees 0x0x81ff890 and opens codec 0x81ff990. I have to admit I don't understand the hex values. Are they just memory addresses where the codecs are loaded, or are they absolute id numbers? Is it significant that mythfrontend has two different hex values, and mythcommflag has the same on detect and open? _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev[at]mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
