LAV Filters - DirectShow Media Splitter and Decoders

[nevcairiel]

Maybe later, not happening soon, too many problems involved to do it properly.

Can you please:
1. add support for chapters(cuesheets) in ape/flac/wv?
2. add support for more ID3 tags in MP3?
MPC, Internal filters:

MPC, Lav Splitter:


File for test:
http://light-alloy.ru/_nev/02_Theme_Of_SSS.mp3

3. Add support for IDSMResourceBag / IPropertyBag interface, so media players will be able to request and show covers(which could have mimes: image/jpeg, image/jpg, image/png) from mp3/flac/ape (without depending on MediaInfo).

Thanks

they detect the codec properly (quicksync in LAV Video)
same with mpc hc-64 (quicksync in LAV Video)

but in Potplayer 64 If I set it to Quicksync I get avcodec instead. Quicksync is not detected and Nvidia GPU decodes through avcodec. Same if I set it to software mode. Avcodec and Nvidia are used instead.

cuvid and dvxa codecs are detected properly through Nvidia.

hence I dont know if its a Potplayer 64, LAV 64 or Windows 7 issue

I put these on my task list, but not sure when i'll get to it.

1. Thank you for adding suppost for ordered chapters and segment linking.

2. I found a small issue with one .mkv which uses ordered chapters, plays fine with haali or smplayer; what do you need and where should I post the thing? the 2 feedback link on 1st page don't work (I get a 404).

[nevcairiel]

I need the file that has problems, or at least the part of the file with the problem. If a smaller part can reproduce the issue properly, that is preferable.
Upload the sample somewhere, DropBox or Google Drive or Sky Drive, or one of the free hosts like MediaFire, and just link it here or PM me the link.

[Nicola]

OK, I'll see what I can do, slow up here.
Oh, now those 2 links load. gotta check my dns settings.

[Nicola]

OK, got lucky and the stuff is still on the web.

(links removed)

The glitch happens at the end of the episode, just before the ending theme (1s before the chapter), some frame get repeated fast, and then the ED starts.
Other episodes exibit the same behaviour (just with lav splitter, haali is fine, and smplayer too).
I put there the OP in case you want to check it too.

[nevcairiel]

Thanks, i'll have a looksie. Sounds odd though, usually with the ED in its own file, there shouldn't be any hiccups. But i'll see whats going on!

Edit:
One thing i know is that it doesn't actually link to the ED, it has its own ED inside the file.

[nevcairiel]

I managed to fix this specific file by tweaking some values, however i'll have to think about a more generic solution for this specific problem.

The real problem is that the chapter for the ending isn't perfectly on the same timecode as the Cue, so seeking is getting a bit weird there.
Now i tweaked the fuzzy matching for this, so that it'll look for a Cue point within the duration of one frame, because that would end up the same anyway. This file is only 10ms off with its Chapter, and the frames are 41ms, so that works out, but its still only a "fuzzy" solution, so, meh.

I'll put it on my list.

[Nicola]

It doesn't link to the external ED? mmm, curious, maybe ext ED is used by later eps only?
Nice being on your list, it is a good thing. Thanks.
In any case, you can always check how smplayer handles this.
As soon the next lav is out I'll check all of those pesky files.

hi nevcairiel
Question - why do you have such an output channel mask:


Why is different. I think it's must equal.

I check other audio with different channels - it's happened only with 5.1 input.

You probably have the Option to convert to standard Channel Layouts enabled in LAV Audio.

I found minor bug changing mixer options work instantly, but "status" tab is not updated to reflect changes.

No - i enable/disable this options. Do not change. And - 5.1 it's a standard channel layout.

Okay, my apologies then. This sounds weird, indeed. Is it specific to ac3 files? Anyway, I believe a sample may help.

Any 5.1 audio. Open any files with 5.1 audio and see channel mask in LAV Audio 'status' tab.

What about FLAC/PCM 5.1 ???

have to use a different decoder for that, with a slight quality loss i can have ffdshow tryouts encode it to ac3 5.1 and bitstream it

receiver is old enough it doesn't have hdmi, so i use toslink
