nobody.loopback Wrote:I just started to use xbmc on a MacMini late 2009 together with a DM500 which has a pli image installed.

The dm500 streams ok with zapstream to all my other machines, however, I never tried xbmc.

Now, when I try to switch channels, it may or may not work. Most of the time xbmc displays nothing, or, hangs.

The situation improved when I used a current nightly build, but still, after 1 or 2 switches, no TV signal is displayed, instead the box behaves, like it wants to playback an mp3.

I downloaded the current trunk as of today, and tried to find out, what is happening.

It looks, like the demuxer in unable to detect the correct format most of the times, It depends on the channel, but, there are no channels which I can be sure that it will work.

Finally I decided to make a rude workaround which works very nice, 100% of all channels are now ok (and, everything else does still work!).

in:
XBMC/utils/TuxBoxUtil.cpp, about line: 629:
it reads:

Code:

items.SetMimeType("video/x-ms-asf");

I replaced this with

Code:

items.SetMimeType("video/x-mpegts");

I think it does not make much sense to set "video/x-ms-asf", since satelllite broadcast is mpegts anyway.

in:
xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDDemuxers/DVDDemuxFFmpeg.cpp: about line: 270, it reads:

Code:

if( m_pInput->GetContent().length() > 0 )
  {  
    std::string content = m_pInput->GetContent();

    /* check if we can get a hint from content */
    if     ( content.compare("video/x-vobsub") == 0 )
      iformat = m_dllAvFormat.av_find_input_format("mpeg");
    else if( content.compare("video/x-dvd-mpeg") == 0 )
      iformat = m_dllAvFormat.av_find_input_format("mpeg");
  }

I replaced this with:

Code:

if( m_pInput->GetContent().length() > 0 )
  {  
    std::string content = m_pInput->GetContent();

    /* check if we can get a hint from content */
    if     ( content.compare("video/x-vobsub") == 0 )
      iformat = m_dllAvFormat.av_find_input_format("mpeg");
    else if( content.compare("video/x-dvd-mpeg") == 0 )
      iformat = m_dllAvFormat.av_find_input_format("mpeg");
    else if( content.compare("video/x-mpegts") == 0 )
    {
      CLog::Log(LOGDEBUG, "detected mpegts");
      iformat = m_dllAvFormat.av_find_input_format("mpegts");
    }
  }

Built xbmc, and now, I am very happy switching channels.

Dont know, if others have a similar problem (it might be related to the box ?), or if something will break if this fix would be included in the code of XBMC, because I just started to use it.

Maybe, someone who is used to the code could have a look at it ?

Thanks.
