Seamless branching of unencrypted bluray streams?
#1
Hi,

I'm using MakeMKV to decrypt and stream bluray disks and when viewed with XBMC, there are very noticeable glitches where one m2ts file transitions to another as indicated by BDInfo. Visually, the glitches start at scene changes and persist for a few seconds, exhibiting choppy motion with interspersed frames from the previous scene!

Accompanying this behavior is a pattern of network activity that consists of a drop for a few seconds from the average of maybe 10-20% (5MB/s to 4MB/s), followed by a a quick spike to 3X the average (15MB/s). The data rate then comes back down to ~5MB/s, at which time the glitchy scene change occurs and then a drop to 0MB/s for a few seconds, before coming back to the average.

Here are two lines from the XBMC log whose timestamps correspond to the timing of the glitches I see:

14:27:58 T:2956587008 WARNING: CDVDPlayer::CheckContinuity - resync backword :2, prev:466549399.666667, curr:0.000000, diff:-466549399.666667
14:28:39 T:2956587008 WARNING: CDVDPlayer::CheckContinuity - resync backword :2, prev:40874155.222222, curr:0.000000, diff:-40874155.222222

Is this a known issue? Is there something I can do about the problem?

Alien bluray, XBMC 11.0, MakeMKV 1.7.6, OS-X 10.7.4, HP BD240i, Mac Mini 5,1

PS Blurays look gorgeous on my setup when viewed with XBMC.

I've succeeded in building Frodo on OS-X and it looks like the seamless branching problem with bluray streams is solved.

Now, if only Frodo were more functional (keyboard, mouse or remote navigation are only partially in place), or I could get this solution applied to Eden...
