[MPlayer-users] .TY+ parsing / junk data not skipped over

[Mike Hodson]

Hello,

I have been miffed for months (a year almost) about playing locally
downloaded .ty+ files from my tivo.  These were transferred using
mfs_ftp, and for the most part play fine.  Except when there
apparently is a segment change (the tivo uses multiple file segments
for recording a show) mplayer apparently plays "junk" that exists in
the .ty file, but it seems should just be skipped over.

This means, that you can watch a movie rather well for about an hour
(on my directv series 2 tivo) and after that, you get about a half
second blip of some other show/some other shows audio, and then it
tiles back into the movie where it left off.

I have, upon the suggestion of someone on the DealDatabase forums,
converted these .ty+ files to mpeg files, and indeed the 'junk' is not
present; the movie plays fine.

What would you need for me to provide to show you what is happening?
(The best i have is a 1gig file thats 1 hour long, at minute 56 it
blips).  I could camcorder it blipping for you, or somehow send you
the last bit of the file if you wanted (using dd/skipping bytes)
