#13169 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

video playback profile format codec selection field

Reported by: blm-ubunet@… Owned by: Peter Bennett
Priority: minor Milestone: 29.1
Component: MythTV - Video Playback Version: Master Head
Severity: low Keywords: video format codec
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

v30-Pre-198-g6646748 added support to use video format (codec) & resolution to control video playback profile.

This only seems to work iff one keyword (h264) is used. If any other text is added before or after 'h264' then this profile fails for h264.

I've tried comma-space & space only delimiting. All fail.

Is the intention to allow multiple keywords ? I assume valid keywords are h264, mpeg2video, mpeg1video, vc1, wmv3 & mpeg4 or similar. All I'm trying to do is set NOT(h265) or NOT(hevc).

Workaround is to setup a profile for each video codec format.

Space separated is the correct way to enter them. This commit fixes the bug.

Fantastic work. The additional options for video decoder filters are comma separated, why does this have to be different? Is there any chance the video format/codec could contain a space? i.e. hevc (main) etc. Thanks.

You can see a full list by running 

ffmpeg -codecs

There are none with spaces, they sometimes have underscores.
