Hmm, only one PID per service should generate PCR, and if there is a video 
stream in the service, then that is preferred for PCR generation. An SCTE 
stream should only get selected for PCR if there are no video streams in a 
service. Or are you seeing something else?

And it is also strange that not sending PCR for any stream improves the 
PCR interval test, it should make it worse, because less PCRs are 
provided, no?

Thanks,
Marton
