Hi again,

another build for our patient testers.

The IEC structure is nearly fully correct.

Normally, these tests should work on Windows 7 with IEC structure enabled and one last radeon 5xxx.

Tested it on the 4670 with TrueHD and got the following error:

The renderer accepted the change of media type but failed with the reconnection

It then dropped back to decode mode. Hopefully SHL will have better luck with the 58xx.

It then dropped back to decode mode. Hopefully SHL will have better luck with the 58xx.

THD; not yet. PLS try to be more patient.

Nope. It sets the receiver to PCM but I get no sound. I removed a bunch of jitter correction messages, but here's a log:

[whurlston]

THD; not yet. PLS try to be more patient.

:confused: I'm patient. I was just posting the results of the test.

[whurlston]

Nope. It sets the receiver to PCM but I get no sound. I removed a bunch of jitter correction messages, but here's a log:


00000220 0.44172686 [4496] TffdshowDecAudioInputPin::Receive : the output sample format Bitstream Dolby True HD is accepted by the renderer
00000221 0.44750851 [4496] TffdshowDecAudioInputPin::Receive : Reconnection successful That looks promising.

[SamuriHL]

Yea. Just not sure what's going on now. Guess we need to wait to see what's next.

[albain]

Yes this is a step forward.

Most parts of the IEC encapsulation is covered, there is just the beginning where I need updates but I am expecting them soon thanks to one of you :-)

[SamuriHL]

Most excellent. Looking forward to it. :)

[SamuriHL]

FYI, DTS-HD MA is still being dropped down to core. So, not the same result there. Not sure what's up with that one.

[albain]

Hi,

2 new builds with media types changed from PCM to the official microsoft ones. I am now pretty sure that the implementation is correct.

FFDShow beta 10 with reconnection (http://damienbt.free.fr/ffdshow_rev3089_20091001_dbt_beta10.exe)

FFDShow beta 10 without reconnection (http://damienbt.free.fr/ffdshow_rev3089_20091001_dbt_beta10_noreconnect.exe)

These builds respect the microsoft iec implementation so it should work on windows 7 with a radeon 5xxx.

You should not use reclock because it won't accept the compressed media types (only PCM is accepted and I guess this is the non working cause on vista).

I don't know how difficult this is to develop a wasapi audio renderer if someone as sample code it will be interesting to implement one.

If this still does not work, there are 4 possible causes :
- radeon 5xxx drivers are not ready or not using microsoft IEC recommendations
- the HDMI audio endpoint for bitstream is not the same and hidden
- a custom audio renderer is necessary
- still some issues with the implemenation : media types, format tags, ...


So for now let's focus on windows 7 standards, and then we will digg vista/xp implementation


Thanks again for your feedbacks

If someone is interested, I may drop the source patch of FFDShow bitstream

Also, if someone has assembler skills, please PM

Damien

[THX-UltraII]

thumbs up for your hard work! Agree totally to work on W7 implementation first cause this is going to be THE standard OS for HTPC-land if you ask me.

How about ATI 4XXX-serie users (like me :)).

Any thoughts if bitstreaming is possible with the beta10 version?

[THX-UltraII]

and another question a little off-topic :))

When I play a .wmv file that has wma3 as audio I cant get it decoded by ffdshow some way. I tried ALL the codecs in the codecs section of ffdshow but nothing lets ffdshow load. Can this be decoded by ffdshow and if yes, how to?

I'm up now. Slept in today. :D The second link does not appear to work for me. However, I got the first one and will get set up for it momentarily. I'll let you know shortly.

[SamuriHL]

Ummmmm, this is not good so far. With beta 10 as soon as I try to open the test TrueHD file it crashes MPC-HC immediately. POOF.

http://damienbt.free.fr/ffdshow_rev3089_20091001_dbt_beta10_noreconnect.exe

I grabbed that and tried it. Same issue. MPC-HC just simply crashes immediately. Not much I can do with this version I'm afraid.

[SamuriHL]

Trying it with a DTS-HD MA track, it's not trying to bitstream and does not crash. I just get badly decoded DTS core output over what it says is S/PDIF.

[albain]

I'm up now. Slept in today. :D The second link does not appear to work for me. However, I got the first one and will get set up for it momentarily. I'll let you know shortly.

Ok. DTS HD is not covered yet. For now only eac3 and TrueHD are

Please also try with wmp.

And lastly I am interested in the debug traces

thanks

[SamuriHL]

Right, but, how am I going to get traces when MPC-HC crashes immediately? :)

[rica]

Do you try with ArcSoft Demux as well?

So it wasn't quite as immediately as I thought. I seriously hope this helps. No, I didn't use anything other than the setup I've been using for all these tests. I try to keep things simplified. WMP didn't seem to want to use ffdshow at all when trying to play the TrueHD clip, so, that wasn't helpful. I don't know enough about it to force the issue on that one.

[rica]

Please select PCM mode first in ffdshow and show us the graph behind MPC-HC.

Open MPC-HC; play > pause

Open GraphStudio; under menu > file > connect to remote graph.

[SamuriHL]

I don't think that'll be overly useful here. What appears to be happening is that it's not recognizing it as a TrueHD track and is attempting to bitstream it as AC3 over S/PDIF. If you look at the trace log I attached up there, you'll see that it's treating it as AC3. The previous builds did not do that so something's definitely wrong.

[SamuriHL]

Ok, I shut off AC3 in the pass through section:

Forgot to mention that it still crashes, sorry.

[rica]

I've already seen that. That's why i'm wondering the graph.

If you look at the trace log I attached up there, you'll see that it's treating it as AC3. The previous builds did not do that so something's definitely wrong.

[SamuriHL]

I can tell you I'm not the one to be trying to do that graph thing. :) I have very limited knowledge of that stuff. I made a graph for my HD PVR following very specific instructions, but that's about it.

[rica]

My friend you won't build a graph by yourself; graph thing will automaticallly connect the graph behind MPC.
Anyway.

[THX-UltraII]

question a little off-topic )

When I play a .wmv file that has wma3 as audio I cant get it decoded by ffdshow some way. I tried ALL the codecs in the codecs section of ffdshow but nothing lets ffdshow load. Can this be decoded by ffdshow and if yes, how to?

[clsid]

If ffdshow doesn't load then it doesn't support the format.

And before you ask. If you want it to get added follow the following steps:
1) Open a feature request at the SourceForge project page
2) Include a sample file
3) Wait*

* This step may take forever. Certainly if it is a wma3 variant that is not yet supported by FFmpeg.

[albain]

Clearly the build with no reconnection is not a go and makes the player crash.

In order to test with wmp, you have to install haali media splitter. It should work on m2ts files embedding TrueHD streams.

Under windows 7 an extra step is necessary to make ffdshow load : you can use clsid's tool from the following link (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146910)

After that, you have to make sure that ffdshow is configured as follow :
- For AC3/DTS : select libavcodec or libdts/liba52 (but a codec must be selected)
- For TrueHD, DTSHD : select libavcodec
- In output section, check all the bitstream/spdif formats.
- Still in output section : check 16 24 and 32 bits (just in case) and AC3

It should work with those

[SamuriHL]

Well, they were both making the player crash. I tried both of them. I'll try this WMP thing but I'm not too hopeful since the only thing I had changed in my setup was the ffdshow build. Going back to the previous build prevents the crashing.

[SamuriHL]

I followed all the instructions to get ffdshow to work. Yea, I'm going with no on this one. ffdshow does NOT load with WMP. I have haali set up, I used the tool to change the default filters to ffdshow. Nada.

[SamuriHL]

The reconnection version also crashes MPC-HC. So, unless you have any other ideas I'm done testing this build. It's definitely not working for me.

[albain]

Ok, I won't insist on this one :-)

I am sorry by the way, WMP does not load ffdshow for m2ts files, only on mkv

For now, I am a little stuck, I have posted to MSDN, AMD and Slysoft forums in order to :

From MS: Have confirmation that WMP 12 in windows 7 is out of the box able to handle HD audio bitstream correctly if IEC implementation is resepected

From AMD : have details about the right implementation of HD audio bitstream. Use Microsoft IEC guidelines or is there a home made implementation ? Also, how to make it work on "older" OS (Vista, XP) and on 4xxx series

From Slysoft : asked James to add non PCM (compressed) media types in the accepted list to Reclock

Meanwhile, I will try to search how commercial player do to send HD bitstream

[SamuriHL]

I didn't know about the MKV limitation for WMP. If I get a chance I'll try it again. It's football day so we'll see when I can get to it again. :) I don't have an MKV, though. Do you want to convert your TrueHD test file to MKV and upload it for me? :)

[tetsuo55]

Good luck!

Me neither

For coders, here is the current patch for bitstream (http://damienbt.free.fr/FFDShow_bitstream.diff)

If I have time I will try to code the audio renderer

[SamuriHL]

Alright. I'll see about testing that in MKV later if I get a chance. Gotta figure out how to convert it. Not something I usually play with.

[rica]

Do you try with ArcSoft Demux as well?

SamuriHL,

Haven't gotten any respond yet?

[tetsuo55]

Me neither

Hi, we have started work on the audio renderer already in mpc-hc, things might go faster if we work together.

[albain]

I have this one (http://damienbt.free.fr/eac3mono64kbit.mka) : this is a EAC3 (dd plus) sample but mono with low bitrate... but a use case

Hi, we have started work on the audio renderer already in mpc-hc, things might go faster if we work together.

Sure, it would be great. I grabbed MPC-HC code a while ago. Is your your audio renderer "wasapi-ready" : I mean, do you know how high is the effort to add its support ?
Otherwise it would be great that you add support for WAVEFORMEXTENSIBLE_IEC61937 structure : the goal is to detect it (versus WAVEFORMEXTENSIBLE or WAVEFORMEXT) and pass it to the audio driver with no modification

[SamuriHL]

SamuriHL,

Haven't gotten any respond yet?

No I have not tried it.

[SamuriHL]

I'll give it a shot at half time. :)

[tetsuo55]

Sure, it would be great. I grabbed MPC-HC code a while ago. Is your your audio renderer "wasapi-ready" ?
Otherwise it would be great that you add support for IEC 61937 structureWe added a completely new renderer a few days ago, it should be split into wasapi and dsound.

You can join us on irc if you can.

[whurlston]

I tested by building the graph manually in GraphStudio with both the MPC splitter and the ArcSoft demux. GraphStudio crashes with both of them.

OK, I'll try, I won't have a lot of time this week.

[rica]

OK thx for feedback vladd.

[whurlston]

Interestingly, If I use the ArcSoft Audio Renderer, it doesn't crash.

[rica]

One more question vladd:

At this stage of graph:

FileSource(asynch) > Arcsoft MPEG Demux > ffdshow audio decoder

What do you read on Properties Page of ffdShow ?(under "out")
