LAV Filters - DirectShow Media Splitter and Decoders

[Midzuki]

^ Besides, and regarding ASF files, LAV Splitter still is somewhat slooow :devil: — probably Nev doesn't have a machine "old enough" :D for testing the LAV Filter suite exhaustively :rolleyes: Not sure if he's already studied the source-code for the GDCL ASF Demuxer, for example :p

Or maybe ASF is dead as far as this forum is concerned and that porn enthusiasts should stick to WMP.

Very-well. Now go say that to the entire development team of the LAV Filters, not to me :rolleyes:

i recommended lav video to a friend, and he says that with mediaportal, there is problems with mpeg 2 decoding.

Installing the x64 LAV Video decoder causes the Explorer thumbnails for FPS1 (Fraps) streams in AVI files to show a green frame.

Guys and gals, Nev said he's not going to be around this weekend, so, if you're finding bugs, please make sure you throw it up on the bug tracker with a sample file and good, clear instructions on how to repro the issue. That'll help Nev get a fix for you faster.

Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/lavfilters/issues/list

(P.S. search the tracker to see if an issue is already open! :))

[nevcairiel]

Thanks,

Regarding selecting "auto" for number of threads at LAVvideo - I think I found a bug. When selecting auto and playing MPEG-2 video in 1080p content (m2ts file), MPC-HC crashes. It does not happen with VC-1/AVC videos (m2ts).
When I select any other number of threads for the same MPEG-2, it works fine ( tried some between 1-12 ).

Very odd.
Can you try this version?

http://files.1f0.de/lavf/LAVFilters-0.32-9-gd86e7ce.zip

All auto-detect should do is detect the number of cores you have, and multiply that with 1.5 (resulting in 12 threads for 8 cores)
All i can think of is that auto-detect somehow doesn't properly report your cores. What OS was this on?

Hi Nev,
The MPC-HC crash exists also with this special build playing back MPEG-2 1080p video ( tried 3 different movies ). As I have wrote, the "auto" setting is ok with VC-1 or AVC/H.264 formats.
Im on Win7 SP1 64-bit, MPC-HC 1.5.3.3677, Reclock, madVR 0.73
Can somobody test a MPEG-2 1080p video with the "auto" setting for multithreading ( LAV video ) on a dual/quad core CPU please? I have a sixcore.
Pluto

[nevcairiel]

I tested on a quadcore, with HT, so 8 effective. The i7 980x that your signature names also has HT, right? so 12 effective, bringing my logic to 18 threads. Maybe thats where the error lies? I'll test with that many threads in a sec..

Edit:
Thats the issue, the mpeg2 decoders maximum limit is 16 threads. I set that as the hard limit in code now.

That seems to be the right direction...with 17 or 18 Cores setting it crashes the same way as with the "auto" setting. Again, only with MPEG-2 1080p videos.

Thanks Nev for a quick fix.

[msoltyspl]

Few things I noticed after some using:

- for ogm files, it seems that audio language preferences have no effect - always the first track is used. The tracks were marked properly, quick container change to mkv fixed the issue as well. I'll doublecheck with a few other files as well.

- I had problems with mp3 tracks in mkv/avi being recognized properly (#73 on tracker). It turned out they were recognized just fine, but LAV's merit (0x800003) was below ancient fraunhofer filter's default (0x810000). Now I'm scratching my head if that antiquity is some leftover mess from the past, or actually a windows default. FYI maybe it's something to adjust.

- I've experienced lots of crashes (while seeking only), with LAV splitter. They vanished when I moved back to haali, though I'm not sure if LAV is to blame, or perhaps something else. Will keep an eye on it.

[robpdotcom]

Seems to work, although all i get is a black thumbnail, will have to see about it after work :/

I only get a black thumbnail when the first frame of the video is black. Is there any tweak to look further into the video?

[Carpo]

Not that I have found as of yet, I had been using DivX Plus Tech Preview to get the thumbnails before that

[nevcairiel]

The default thumbnail plugin (from WMP) will always get the first frame of the video, which can of course be black, and for some codecs probably also full of artifacts (or green)
One would have to write a new explorer plugin that extracts the thumbnail from a position further into the video. This is however not trivial.

Note that LAV CUVID does not work for creating thumbnails.

[Carpo]

So if clsid was to update his tool to select Lav Video, this would be a better option?

[Mercury_22]

So if clsid was to update his tool to select Lav Video, this would be a better option?

I don't think so cause like Nev said The default thumbnail plugin (from WMP) will always get the first frame of the video, which can of course be black...

Also it seems I was wrong it looks like the new "AMD Media Codec Package" (http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx#3) it's responsible for me getting thumbnails with H264 now(never had thumbnails for H264 before updating my drivers but I thought that the new changes in LAVVideo were responsible) and not LAVVideo cause I've just checked my reg + LAV in a VM and I don't get thumbnails for H264 so since I don't have anything else on my system that's the only conclusion I can draw

P.S. It's the same culprit for VC-1 so the "best" solution seem to remain DivX's thumbnail creator but I've heard (I've never try it) that you get some problems with explorer slowing down or even crashing, again I've never used it so....

[Carpo]

suppose i best reinstall the divx plus package i was using before then to get the thumbs

[nevcairiel]

MS locks down the decoders for some formats, which causes these problems. I believe with alot of fiddling it might be possible to get it to work, but i still don't understand the abolute need for thumbnails - for most content the first frame is usually black or something anyway. :)

With the DivX plus preview, it uses MF and it grabs a random frame, not the first one.

As to the need, I think its just more atheistically pleasing to some to have a preview of the film there instead of the MS icon or MPC-HC icon, or what ever player you use icon there.

But thats just my thought on it :)

I fall into the former category not the later ;)

[nevcairiel]

The thumbnailing with MF uses a different/new process, and is therefor better. The DirectShow thumb generator isn't even using DirectShow directly, it uses an ancient tech called MCI (with a compat module to interface with DirectShow), which was replaced by DirectShow 10 years go.

And some prefer not to use windows explorer, because its so innefficient and cumbersome, and use something like total commander. :)

[nevcairiel]

Also with the recent changes to promote using the MS VC1 decoder, which I am also now using. The MS VC1 Decoder within Windows XP doesn't connect to LAV Splittler but has no issues connecting to the MPC MPEG splitter, I don't care for XP and just occasional test stuff within my Virtual Machine, but I would think this would be an easy enough thing to fix. If you need me to do anything let me know.

I found the reason it didn't work, and i fixed it (it wasn't the media type). I'll commit the change when i get home.

PS:
AR is also fixed again.

PPS:
I also fixed the problem with WMV1/2 not showing any image with the WMVideo decoder, hooray. :)

[Chillgurke]

First off all thanks @ Nev for all his work in LAV.
It works very well. I have only installed LAV Splitter / Audio / Video and LAV CUIVD.

I found two problems which i can´t grab out where they come from.

1. an old AVI/DIVX File. I´m able to play with LAV Video, but not with CLUID

2. i have one BD Folder ( AVHCD ) wich i can play, but it is shuttering very heavy. On the other hand an other AVHCD playes fine, without this issue. So i´m not sure where to search the problem. Issue occures with LAV Video / LAV CLUIV and MS Decoder. So is there a possibility that the files is corrupt ?

[Carpo]

And some prefer not to use windows explorer, because its so innefficient and cumbersome, and use something like total commander. :)

Some might find TC inefficient and cumbersome ;) Also I have a version of TC installed as it's handy for renaming a lot of files in one go.

[nevcairiel]

1. an old AVI/DIVX File. I´m able to play with LAV Video, but not with CLUID

If its a really old file, its likely that it contains MS-MPEG4, also called DivX3, which is not supported by the hardware decoder.

Hi,

does the LAV splitter allow to use the AVCHD playlist files in same way as for BluRay discs?

I don't only mean the playback of the single *.MTS files, but also to use the playlist (*.MPL)

The AVCHD structure is nearly identical to BD, but uses short file extensions (3 chars), means: *.bdmv -> .BDM ; *.m2ts -> *.MTS

The main issue with such playlists is, they contain file references to *.m2ts, although the real filenames are *.MTS
(see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AVCHD_actual_file_structure.svg).

When you try to open the playlist with the LAV splitter it fails, because the referenced files are not found. Could the splitter be extended to support the short file extensions as kind of "fallback" source when reading the stream files?

Thank you
Morpheus_xx

I only export the functionality libbluray offers, and thats only designed for Blu-rays. I have no idea if all the files internally have 100% the same structure, or not.
If you think they are 100% the same, it would be fairly easy to add, however it needs to be added in libbluray, not LAV Splitter.

[clsid]

Does that means issue #31 is fully fixed now? Any other known problems remaining regarding ASF/WMV playback?

Would you ever consider making a shell extension for thumbs in the future? I think it could bring in a lot of donations. Maybe you could even add a dedicated donation page for it, and start work only once a specific goal was reached. I can help drive traffic to such a page.

i have muxed a DVD (mpeg2 untouched) to a mkv-file with mkvmerge.

mkvmerge set the displaydimension to 1024x576 (DVD: 720x576). Its a 16:9 movie. With MPC HC and haali-splitter looks the video fine.

But when i use the LAV-splitter the video looks not correct. the aspectratio seems to be wrong.

Very possible if you ask me. Cannot use Haali Media Splitter though, only LAV Splitter.
Interestingly, its more like the opposite. If I use potplayers internal or haali splitter, the audio is decodided by LAV but only as ac3 and the playback is crappy. But when I set LAV splitter as splitter then the internal audio decoder decodes TrueHD, and the playback is fine. Weird.

I can't reproduce any such issues.
Granted, stopping doesn't free any memory, but closing the file does, and opening multiple files in succession does not pile up any memory.

Funny, only happens with madVR 0.74. :/ However, FFDshow works ok with madVR 0.74.

Few things I noticed after some using:

- for ogm files, it seems that audio language preferences have no effect - always the first track is used. The tracks were marked properly, quick container change to mkv fixed the issue as well. I'll doublecheck with a few other files as well.

In context of ogm files I had to use full name - e.g. 'Japanese' (case sensitive as well) did the thing, usual 'jpn' was not enough.

Perhaps it would be good to add extra sentence or so, that certain containers require full name instead of just the code.
