[MPlayer-users] Problem HD h264 mpeg-ts detection

[Markus Rechberger]

Hi,

we just tested some H264 transponders from our cable network and it
seems like there's some wrong detection in mplayer.
Usually it seems to detect MPEG2 video and doesn't play anything.

--- wrong output ---
cat  /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | mplayer -cache 10240 -
MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.

TS file format detected.
VIDEO MPEG2(pid=6210) AUDIO A52(pid=6220) NO SUBS (yet)!  PROGRAM N. 0

sometimes when it detects h264 the video seems to work:
--------
cat  /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | mplayer -cache 10240 -

there's a sample video online (which is detected as MPEG2 -- but it's h264):
