No AC3 Sound Stream - Githubissues

AC3 Sound is never an option when selecting a sound channel watching Live TV. If a channel has both Stereo and AC3 only Stereo is a sound option. On channels that ONLY supply AC3 Stream I can not get any sound; when looking at the sound options I can only select None

Using latest git pull.

Please record a couple of seconds of this channel for me to analyze (just do a recording with XBMC). I also need the corresponding VDR channels.conf entry.

Thanks, Alex

I have saved the file to my google drive here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0c1jpaziDZ-b3JUVzZZNTNSSE0/edit?usp=sharing Note that after I recorded the file, I was able to play it back with sound. The playback of the saved file showed AC3 stream, so it is recorded and plays back fine. Note this channel/recording only has AC3 Sound.

I just tested this stream and everything works as expected. Which version of the VDR plugin are you using ?

Please rebuild the latest VDR plugin with:

make clean
make DEBUG=1

and post the log messages.

Here is the log file:

There are a bunch of packets having the TEI (transport error indicator) set. That signals an uncorrectable error in the transport stream packet. Could be a reception problem.

But I don't understand why your recorded stream worked for me without any problems. Your recorded stream produces the following output:

I'm stuck. You should first get rid of the transport errors. Maybe there is a signal quality problem.

Sorry, Alex

Not a signal issue, VDR plays the channel with sound; and as you can see VDR records the channel fine as well. Note that the Video looks fine when played with VDR or XBMC, just XBMC does not send the AC3 Sound through. In the log before the transport error I would have expected to see the H264 Stream then the Audio Stream just like the playback but it looks like it never attempts to determine the Audio Stream. Why would that be?

I am in North America and we used to have to patch VDR to allow for the DVB AC3 Stream on PID 0x81. VDR was updated to check for this PID automatically (see pat.c for parsing information). Is it possible that you are not looking for this PID in the transport stream?

There is code in livepatfilter.c to get PID 0x81 out of the stream I am not a great coder but it does look very different than how VDR parses 0x81; so here is the VDR code to parse 0x81 case 0x81: // STREAMTYPE_USER_PRIVATE if (Setup.StandardCompliance == STANDARD_ANSISCTE) { // ATSC A/53 AUDIO (ANSI/SCTE 57) char lang[MAXLANGCODE1] = { 0 }; SI::Descriptor d; for (SI::Loop::Iterator it; (d = stream.streamDescriptors.getNext(it)); ) { switch (d->getDescriptorTag()) { case SI::ISO639LanguageDescriptorTag: { SI::ISO639LanguageDescriptor ld = (SI::ISO639LanguageDescriptor *)d; strn0cpy(lang, I18nNormalizeLanguageCode(ld->languageCode), MAXLANGCODE1); } break; default: ; } delete d; } if (NumDpids < MAXDPIDS) { Dpids[NumDpids] = esPid; Dtypes[NumDpids] = SI::AC3DescriptorTag; strn0cpy(DLangs[NumDpids], lang, MAXLANGCODE1); NumDpids++; } ProcessCaDescriptors = true; break; }

I took a second look and found that the PAT/PMT scanning doesn't work for this stream. It tries to use the VDR channel information in this case. Maybe the channelcache is corrupted (or outdated). Please try to remove the "channelcache.dat" file (in /etc/vdr/plugins/xvdr) before starting VDR (only once to regenerate the cache). It should work. I have to take a look at PAT/PMT scanning, ...

The VDR code was updated to include North American Support with the inclusion of the variable StandardCompliance to allow for ATSC AC3 audio. If you can access this variable that would allow you to parse specifically for North America DVB just like the VDR code and parse 0x81 just like VDR does.... Thanks for looking into this!

Ok. I found out that the SID/NID/TID values in your "channels.conf" are wrong. This is the reason why the PAT/PMT scanner doesn't scan the stream. Please pull the latest "master" of the VDR plugin. The issue should be fixed: pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr@ef791e3b6ae61f98c2d1d353dab7d81a590cea28

I reverted the last commit because it messed up PAT/PMT scanning. Please check the NID/TID/SID values in your "channels.conf".

This is my channels.conf entry from above

OASIS:12632:VC23M5:S82.0W:21500:5393=27:0;5396=@106:0:1815,1841:810:257:129:810

The values are from the latest sat scan and the same as those posted on http://www.lyngsat.com/hd/nimiq4.html

SID - 810 NID - 257 TID - 129

Not certain on how I could see if they are not correct. Also VDR has no issue when playing the channel. Can you add some debug code (just post a patch here if you like) to display what xvdr thinks the values are? Can you tell me what to grep out of the channelcache.data to validate it is correct?

Here a patch to log the SID of the PAT. It's never equal to the SID of the channel, which means that the PMT doesn't get parsed:

Wow, this really gets interresting. This means there must be a difference between the recording and the live stream. I really thought the AC3 case is handled. Thanks for the log. I'll try to fix this.

I am sure this works in Europe, but in North America the AC3 uses PID type 0x81 differently... For many years we had to patch VDR to get AC3 Sound to work, this is similar I suppose. If you do not want to update GIT you can post patches here or if you want to create a different branch for testing this I am fine with that too. No rush on this I don't tend to use XBMC (yet) for live TV I have not convinced the wife that it is better than VDR with xineliboutput front end.

Please checkout this commit: pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr@a2f2dd9 from the "ac3" branch.

PS: I can confirm that XBMC (with xvdr, of course) is "wife-proof" ;-)

Sorry, the patch has a bug. Here is an updated version: pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr@4ec2c6b

Thanks for the patch I can't test until I get home. :-)

My wife does not like change, if only the XBMC epg display looked more like yaepghd with the channel in the top right corner and full channel information to the left of it.... and the fact that you can't move to a specific channel (type in the channel number) in the epg display is a bit of a let down. But then it can only improve if I ask for this type of change (which I have not attempted to do yet) Do you know of a better skin to allow for this?

That is perfect this issue is resolved. Do you want to see the log?

Yes. Please. I would like to know if the language is detected correctly.

Ok. No language in this stream. But I rechecked the code and all should be ok. I'll pull this commit into master. Thanks for your help.
