Cannot change Audio Channels in DVB Streams

Description

I'm encountering a problem switching audio channels in (DVB-C) Live-TV and recordings: Although the correct channels are displayed in the menu, switching channels doesn't actually work.

Additionaly, after switching to an audio channel from the menu and then entering the same menu again shows different audio channel selections than the last time ... I remember having seen this bug previously in MythTV?

And yes, the DVB-C hardware is allright: Playing (switching audio channels) with MPlayer works perfectly (even recordings by MythTV).

I think I might have the same problem. It seems to happen only on some channels (notably german public channels ard & zdf). I will attach 2 screen shots the first is the one before selecting the ac3 audio trace the second one after selecting it.

Log says:

I do have a small capture file (23mb) so if someone needs the stream recording for debugging feel free to contact me (or if you need more information)

comment:2 Changed 16 years ago by Markus Schulz <msc@…>

same problem here, but only with one channel (german ARD on dvb-s(astra19.2) and dvb-c). A recording plays fine with mplayer but there was no language code for each stream (mplayer remarks them all as unknown language)

comment:3 Changed 16 years ago by Markus Schulz <msc@…>

with -v audio i've seen the problem. the channel has no language information (or wrong language informations?) and myth tries to reselect permanently the audio channel and can't reselect the same as the user has selected manually cause the loop breaks for same language index and all streams has language_index == 0.

output with enabled debugging inside: int AvFormatDecoder::AutoSelectAudioTrack?(void)

looks then like this: 2008-06-20 19:26:47.209 AFD: Selected track 1: German MP2 2ch (A/V Stream #1) 2008-06-20 19:26:47.209 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.211 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.211 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.211 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.211 AFD: * id( AC3) 48000Hz 6ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.212 AFD: Trying to reselect audio track 2008-06-20 19:26:47.212 AFD: Selected track 2: German MP2 2ch (A/V Stream #1) 2008-06-20 19:26:47.230 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.231 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.231 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.231 AFD: * id( AC3) 48000Hz 6ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.231 AFD: Trying to reselect audio track 2008-06-20 19:26:47.231 AFD: Selected track 1: German MP2 2ch (A/V Stream #1) 2008-06-20 19:26:47.270 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.270 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.270 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.270 AFD: * id( MP3) 48000Hz 2ch 16bps 2008-06-20 19:26:47.270 AFD: * id( AC3) 48000Hz 6ch 16bps ...

this spams permanently on this channel.

with this short hack you can then permanently select the ac3 stream:


Index: avformatdecoder.cpp =================================================================== --- avformatdecoder.cpp (Revision 17504) +++ avformatdecoder.cpp (Arbeitskopie) @@ -2876,8 +2876,8 @@

if (wlang == atracks[i].language)

selTrack = i;

  • if (windx == atracks[i].language_index)
  • break;

+ if (windx == atracks[i].language_index) + break;

}

}


then he permanently selects the ac3. not nice but a quick hack until someone founds out why he permanently tries to reselect.

comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by Markus Schulz <msc@…>

i've done some further investigations. the avcodec_dual_language variable flips between 0-1 every 1-2 frames in avformatdecoder.cpp::GetFrame? loop. Therefore myth tries to split this supposed bilingual audio stream into two and the number of selectable streams changes always. Eventually you cant select a stream after the sometimes "bilingual" audio stream. It happens all the time on the channel "Das Erste"@Astra19.2 (DVB-S (QPSK) - 11836.50 H - 27500 3/4 - NID:1 - TID:1101) and for much two-audio-stream containing avi files.

The audio channel list contained two 2 entries. Changing to the second did not happen - default track kept playing, although the newly chosen channel was checked when next entering the change audio track menu. Changing back to the default audio channel did not interrupt the audio stream and did reselect the first audio track in the menu again.

Testing with trunk @ r24200, I still see the issue. Initial testing of DVB-T suggested it was fixed, but testing on DVB-S (BBC1/2 channels reporting 2 audio streams) resulted in the primary audio stream continuing to play after manually changing stream via the menu. The selected stream indicator was updated, but the stream itself was not.

Replying to mdean:

Not 100% sure if it is fixed. Just upgraded to current trunk (r25149) and changing tracks on a DVB-S channel (UK Channel 4, from English 2ch to Unknown 2ch) results in a change of the selector but not of the track, as far as I can tell. Is this expected with an "unknown" audio track?
