| Post subject: | Recorded programs and VLC (0.19) - no dice? |
Since upgrading to 0.19, recorded programs seem to get saved with a .mpg extension rather than .nuv. I'm not sure whether the actual underlying codec has changed, but I suspect it has subtly. Using mythstreamtv I was able to stream recorded programs to my windows box successfully. With 0.19 the stream works correctly but all I get is garbled green video with some junk at the top. So to eliminate the streaming aspect, I tried playing the recorded mpg straight from vlc on the mythbox (vlc -vvv /myth/tv/xxxx_2006xxxxx.mpg) and it delivers the same green video/garbled output, with VLC reporting corrupted/garbled video frames. However I can play the recorded program successfully within MythTV - it's definitely not corrupted. I am suspecting codecs - perhaps VLC needs to be recompiled with support for another codec? Is anybody else seeing this sort of behaviour? |

According to the 0.19 release notes: Quote: Filename changes. Recordings are now saved without their ending times as part of the filename and MPEG-2 recordings will have an .mpg extension instead of .nuv like MPEG-4 or RTJPEG recordings.
I don't think that involved any codec changes. |

Are these HD recordings or SD? |

They're SD - recorded from DVB-T. I've done a bit more testing and interestingly they work in mplayer, but not in VLC. |

Fixed this issue by recompiling vlc from source. Now using 0.8.4a succesfully, in case anybody else is looking for a solution to this issue. |
