Hauppauge captures not playing back properly - waverz - 2014-07-12 I've been trying to capture videos from my DirectV reciever to my PC using a Hauppauge HD-PVR 2 1512. I seem to be able to capture fine but there is a problem with playback using XBMC. The PVR captures AVC in TS,M2TS, and MP4 containers. I've tried them all with various bit rates and resolutions but non seem to play back properly on my ATV2 runing XBMC 12.3. I've even tried capturing 480p at a very low bitrate. While the playback is somewhat better it's still choppy and buffers a lot. Here is the info for a sample I captured: General Complete name : \\Quadcore-pc\dtv\Hauppauge Captures\2014_7_11_19_31_3.MP4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : 3GPP Media Release 4 Codec ID : 3gp4 File size : 11.3 MiB Duration : 20s 204ms Overall bit rate : 4 679 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2014-07-12 00:31:27 Tagged date : UTC 2014-07-12 00:31:27 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : [email protected] Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 3 frames Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Duration : 20s 204ms Bit rate : 4 559 Kbps Width : 1 280 pixels Height : 720 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 59.940 fps Minimum frame rate : 59.820 fps Maximum frame rate : 60.060 fps Standard : Component Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.083 Stream size : 11.0 MiB (97%) Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2014-07-12 00:31:27 Tagged date : UTC 2014-07-12 00:31:27 Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : LC Codec ID : 40 Duration : 20s 203ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 104 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 257 KiB (2%) Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2014-07-12 00:31:27 Tagged date : UTC 2014-07-12 00:31:27 I've been reading forums and trying all different types of settings pretty much all day and I'm at a total loss here. I suspect it may be something to do with the codec the Hauppauge captures with but that's just a guess. Anyone have any ideas why this is causing me such grief? RE: Hauppauge captures not playing back properly - nickr - 2014-07-12 debug log (wiki) on playback would be helpful I am sure. I am not sure what ATV2's playback capabilities are. Is this really progressive? The frame rate (60) tells me it might be interlaced, try forcing deinterlacing on playback. also can you put a sample up for testing? RE: Hauppauge captures not playing back properly - waverz - 2014-07-12 I'll see about getting a debug log and sample up tomorrow. I've tried a few more things since my original post. I installed Gotham onto another Windows 7 machine and it plays fine. It even plays fine with either 5.1 optical selected as a source or HDMI which is only 2.0. That leads me to believe that the audio is not the issue. I've also upgraded me ATV2 to Gotham and get the same results with the 5.1 and 2.0 audio source. Deinterlacing option is greyed out in Gotham during playback. RE: Hauppauge captures not playing back properly - waverz - 2014-07-12 Did some more research/experimenting. It seems the ATV2 has issues handling the transport streams. I've downloaded some public .ts and they all have the same playback issues as the files that I am capturing. Bummer. |
