#6925 closed defect (fixed)

Mac OS X client won't play some MPEG2s

Description

Some time in the last month, playback broke. Black screen "Please Wait..." appears, then the theme background. No audio output. Pressing escape returns to the playback screen, which has a popup saying "Need to switch video renderer."
Playing NuppelVideo? files, or AVIs, or other MPEG2 files, seems fine (suspect it is interlaced MPEG2s only). I won't provide full logs here, but a defective run does:

I have seen this & fixed it by going to section of TV playback that deals with the rendering & interlacing settings for various resolutions. I had defined setings for <= 720x576i, =1280x720p and =1920x1080i. I had forgotten that some hidef broadcasts are done as 1440x1080i, and then anamorphed to 1920x1080i. I changed the ==1920x108 to > 1280x720, and everything started behaving again.

since it's not visible from the log excerpt, is this with the mpeg2 decoding acceleration on mac? It's very likely that it broke in the ffmpeg sync in [20797].

If it's ffmpeg's pure software decoder, does the same file plays fine on linux?

Yes, this might be playback profile related, but some of the MPEG2 sources that fail are 720x576i (plus, I thought the code had fallbacks). No, not DVDV - just the normal Quartz/Quicktime?/OpenGL.
The interesting thing is that I just ran it against LiveTV from a HDHR. The OSD was displayed with the lock and S/N information, but the video was green - and when the OSD faded, the display went back to the background picture. Log attached

Haven't worked it out from the code yet, so I'm doing the version binary chop process. -r21002 plays back cleanly

comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by Nigel

-r21064, -r21107 and -r21219 good. -r21309 bad, -r21262 good, -r21290 good, -r21300 good, -r21308 bad, -r21307 good. Which is interesting, because 21308 seems to just be aspect ratio stuff.
Linux? No problems with any of the recordings.

Does the attached patch (aspect.diff) help?

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

(In [21562]) Bug fix in aspect ratio change [21308]. Thanks to Mark. Closes #6925. Refs #6831. Now, if only I could work out why this (e.g. having an initial aspect ratio of 1.33333 instead of 1.77778 for 16:9 material) only impacts the Mac frontend? Maybe related to #6211
