Unofficial Haali Media Splitter bug tracker

[SamuriHL]

Ok, so, I'll post my bug here. MKV's with DTS-HD MA created by mkvmerge (mkvtoolnix) are not bitstreamed correctly by ffdshow if Haali is used. They work fine if the MPC splitter is used. Mosu, the author of mkvmerge, feels this is a Haali bug. I should be able to provide a sample if necessary, but, any file with a DTS-HD MA audio track that's been run through mkvmerge will repro this problem. More info can be seen in the ffdshow hd audio thread here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=151151

The info related to this problem is on the last few pages. Let me know if more info is needed and if there's anything I can do. Thanks!

Hi samuri, mosu is right; nothing to do with Haali for the time being.
mkv files created by MkvMergeGui are never problematic with MPC-Gabest or Solveig Splitters.
And dtshd-ma is horrible with haali.

mkv with Gabest:

LPCM:
LPCM works with ReClock directly without an additional decoder.

THD:
It can bitstream over ffdshow.

DTSHD:
It can bitstream over ffdshow.


mkv with Haali:

LPCM:
Haali will be directly linked to ReClock and stream the audio. It doesn't need any additional LPCM decoder.

THD:
Gives blue light and no problem in bitsreaming THD inside mkv.

DTSHD:
Gives blue light but it's problematic: lots of drop-outs in video and audio.

[SamuriHL]

Thanks, Rica. Hopefully this can get fixed. Then MKV playback for me will be flawless.

hi all i think i have found a bug in the haali splitter

link here

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...30#post1413130

its seems haali ignores audio flags as if you have a movie with the first 2 audio tracks as DTS and a third track as AC3 it picks the 3rd track the AC3 version even if the flag in the mkv file has set the first audio DTS as the default track.

i post this as my first tracks are dts and 3rd tracks are ac3 but teh third track is french ac3 and the first audio track is english DTS.

if i play the same movie in vlc player the player picks the right default track and plays the english version but haali does not it seems to play the ac3 track over the default 1st track.

is this a bug ?

so how long take haali to fix bugs?

[Thunderbolt8]

i'd say if he felt like doing it not long.

[Jeff Flowerday]

There's a new release of the splitter up on his site.

[SamuriHL]

14/08/2010
Fixed items:
Fixed aspect ratio processing in certain Matroska files, which caused errors on open

[mata7]

yeah minor bug fix i try one mkv whit DTS-MA that i create wiht mkvmerge and got the same stutter problem, i guest we will have to wait 3 more month for a fix

[lmwang]

I have got one mpeg ts file, the video can't be displayed by
HaaliSplitter. With graphedit, I can see audio filter only. But the file is
played very well with vlc, coreplayer, mplayer. Please help to check whether
it's bug of haalisplitter. I have upload the file to below link:

http://depositfiles.com/files/vfy0q36hp

For kmplayer, if unregister HaaliSplitter filter in system filter manager, it's ok to play the file.

I found two bugs in Haali Media Splitter:

-Major problems with a lot of MPEG-1-PS files (wrong duration, not seekable, won´t play at all). There is no problem with Microsoft Splitter or MPC-HD internal.

-Does not support IMA ADPCM in Mov. I yust got a Mov-file with SVQ3/IMA ADPCM, with MPC-HD internal everything works fine, with Haali Media Splitter only video is displayed (file can be downloaded here: http://www.mtmfilms.org/mtm6/2_hi.mov).

[nlnl]

New version of the splitter.

* Fixed items:
o Fixed a bug in uninstaller that prevented it from properly unregistering all filters

Has anybody tested DTS HD MA bitstream playback?

[mindbomb]

DTS-HD MA doesn't work with the arcsoft dts filter with haali, so I'm guessing they still haven't fixed the bitstreaming issue, assuming they both don't work for the same reason.
Though, it appears to have no problem with DTS-HD HRA for some reason.

I don't have the hardware to explicitly test bitstreaming of DTS-HD MA though.

[SamuriHL]

What about bitstreaming a DTS-HD MA track in an MKV made with MkvMerge? That's the issue I have with Haali.

[mindbomb]

are the haali people aware of the bitstreaming issue?

[SamuriHL]

Yes. It's been reported several times.

Thanks for checking. I've personally moved on to other splitters at this point, but, I'd love it if this bug gets fixed. If not, oh well.
