tsMuxer Open Source

[spotter]

I'm wondering if someone here can help me, not quite a tsmuxer issue, but figure people here might know.

I'm doing a project where I'm using libbluray to take a bluray playlist and turn it into a single m2ts (well a bit more complicated, meant for streaming, but that's close enough for a first approximation). What I realize is that in doing this, it loses the language metadata (i.e. the langauge for audio and subtitle tracks) as this data seems to only be in the clip info files so isn't in the "m2ts" stream I'm reading from libbluray. Is there anyway to edit this into a pure m2ts stream? (either editing the stream on the fly or appending a packet of sorts to the start), or is this simply impossible in the m2ts format?

[iSeries]

are you sure your original file was SRT format because PGS from bluray disc does work properly?

Last two builds (didnt try more) definitely render black subtitles when the source has SRT subs.

Yep was SRT

Well, I can reproduce the bug in MPC-BE with the 2 last versions. Not only with DV but with any files.

I only tried the latest version on my x700 though.

On my [2016] LG television, the Dolby Vision encoded video and EAC3 audio work perfectly. Sadly my TV does not support PGS subtitles.

On my OPPO, the Dolby Vision encoded video and EAC3 audio work perfectly too. But as others have reported the PGS subtitles are black. And they are huge ;)

do you mean your lgs usb media player?

if yes then...ehm lol...my 2019 lg c9 usb media player loads a sec then says file not supported....

I transferred imhh11's Mandalorian sample onto a USB flash-drive, and used the TV's built-in 'Photo & Video' media player app to play it....

@SeeMoreDigital so this is confirmation that DV works on TVs if we remove the HDMV descriptor -but do not work anymore on the Bluray players, which is kind of logical...

I have pushed the commit to reinstate the HDMV descriptor for DV tracks. I still believe that the HDMV descriptors should be present only for m2ts and not for ts. Anyway... I'll work on an option for manual selection of the HDMV descriptors when I have time -after 2.7.0.

As for the srt... no clear if it was already there with 30/03 version, let's see if the reinstatement of the hdmv descriptor fixes the issue.

ehm nope, not on all, like i said c9 cant even open the file from googledrive.

and like already mentioned every dv (m2)ts created from uhd by tsmuxer only triggers hdr on c9 instead of dv.

no idea what magic seemoredigitals 2016 lg does...

@SeeMoreDigital so this is confirmation that DV works on TVs if we remove the HDMV descriptor -but do not work anymore on the Bluray players, which is kind of logical... Actually, imhh11's Mandalorian sample also works on my OPPO via USB flash-drive and when played from my network connected NAS, via UPnP and SMB. But I'm not entirely sure if it makes the player unstable...

"I have spoken"...

[SeeMoreDigital]

ehm nope, not on all, like i said c9 cant even open the file from googledrive.
GogleDrive is pants!!! I suggest you try playing the sample file from a USB flash-drive instead...

i did of course, downloaded it, put on usb drive, put that in tv and then happened what i already described.

mmm the sample i posted should work on your C9.. this is not a dual layer profile 7 TS which never worked (in DV)on any TV. The sample is a real profile 05.06 and play fine on my C8

[imhh11]

As for the srt... no clear if it was already there with 30/03 version, let's see if the reinstatement of the hdmv descriptor fixes the issue.

yes the bug is present with 30-03 version.

EDIT: might be my source file after all because I tried with other samples and I can't reproduce it now

I wonder if genuine PGS subtitles (extracted from a 4K UHD disc) will work better with your Mandalorian sample?!

i redownloaded and retried. does not work.
c9 is able to show preview thumbnail pics but when i click on the file the c9 loads a sec and then gives me a german error message which translated to english says something like "this file is not recognized. back to list."
firmware is newest from some days ago, 4.71.25.

Very strange that the C6 and C8 can play it but not the C9.

With regard to PGS subtitles... I wonder if genuine PGS subtitles (extracted from a 4K UHD disc) will work better with your Mandalorian sample?!

Yes pure pgs subtitles should work. I'll try when i get home in a few hours.




EDIT. pgs works just fine when i remux uhd-bd to dual layer TS. But there is no Mandalorian UHD-BD yet, my sample is a downloaded/untouched stream from Disney+. That's why i have to deal with SRT for that profile 05.06 sample.

@spotter you just need to mux the playlist in tsMuxer in non-bluray mode. Although some problems on Linux have been reported, cf. issue #166 (https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/issues/166).

[AVX]

Can someone help me? So i create the blu ray folders after adding some audio and subtitles to a m2ts and everything works fine except the subtitles that have a huuge delay after muxing not before :(

[imhh11]

Ok, the SRT bug seems to be related to my PC(Win10 64x) at work because using the same file and the same tsMuxer here with my PC at home(Win10 64x), no more problem....

how is that possible?

sample with working subtitles (converted from SRT): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VCxlt-hZIHD5QUzpf2AgjDoX_c5G8QTm/view?usp=sharing

subs, atmos and DV works on x700
C8= atmos + DV but no subs
Shield= Atmos + DV but no subs (plex fault here i think)


sorry for the confusion.

the nice thing about libbluray is that it creates a seekable "file handle", What I'm trying to do is store blurays locally and enable them to be streamed on demand to myself via http (including being able to seek into the stream). Don't want to remux and store (time and storage consumng). I'm wondering if its possible to use tsmuxer in library form.

I can confirm the same playback results with my OPPO and LG TV... Very well done :)

[mattmarsden]

Could anyone tell me what version I need to remux to dual layer m2ts to work on my Oppo 203? All the versions I've tried just play in HDR10.

And after TSmuxer has finished, you place the 'BDMV' and 'CERTIFICATE' folders within an 'AVCHD' folder (which you have to manually create). Then place the AVCHD folder (including its contents), within another folder named after your movie.

I have several movies with Dolby Vision on my NAS and I can confirm the OPPO plays them perfectly via SMB (including chapter navigation). They also play perfectly via a directly connected USB HDD.

Thanks for that, I've actually got a modded Oppo that can play iso/blu-ray folder but was wondering if it was possible to play DV directly from a m2ts as that allows resuming on the oppo and iso/blu-ray folder doesn't. Also it would allow me to add them to plex for my other players. The m2ts taken directly from a retail UHD blu-ray folder does play in DV btw.

[SeeMoreDigital]

The m2ts taken directly from a retail UHD blu-ray folder does play in DV btw.Sadly such .m2ts files are full of foreign language audio and subtitle tracks I don't need. And you don't get chapter navigation ;)

[mattmarsden]

Exactly, which is why I was hoping Tsmuxer could create m2ts files that play the same.

[imhh11]

tsMuxer does create Dolby Vision m2ts/ts , you just lose the chapters.

I'm not using the latest versions but this is the version I've been using for a while now. DV, Atmos and subtitles works just fine on the Sony x700 and will certainly work on the oppo as well.

@spotter If you want to stream m2ts only then either your streaming service is able to seek the info into the mpls/clpi, or you have to remux to include the language descriptors (in the PMT packets, every 100ms max).

...if you select "Force BD-ROM V3 format" in tsmuxer "bluray" tab
when you mux with "Blu-ray Folder" you won't need to make a AVCHD folder for 1080p blu-rays with OPPO, in my case is the UDP203. Now i have tried this with USB attached hdd/usb mem. haven't tried through network yet...

[mattmarsden]

Has there been any progress for X700 corruption after playing a DV m2ts?

[staina]

Sorry @staina, your query seems lost in translation... Maybe somebody in the community could clarify ?


I have asked why are files CLPI and M2TS at output Bluray ISO and Bluray folder different compared to previous version and whether the error be as consequential that the would Bluray ISO created older version tsMuxeR not to need to some machinery work?

[MastaG]

So is it possible to remux dual layer dolby vision (profile 7) into .ts container and play it back on LG tv's now?

[spotter]

@spotter If you want to stream m2ts only then either your streaming service is able to seek the info into the mpls/clpi, or you have to remux to include the language descriptors (in the PMT packets, every 100ms max).

you wouldn't happen to have pointers on how to do that? (example code or what not?).

when you say max ever 100ms, could it conceptually just be once at the beginning of the stream?

What I'm trying to do is enable emby to stream my blurays without requiring me to remux them into mkv or something else (I'd rather keep them as ISOs). While fmpeg can remux into mkv on the fly (have that working to as an http endpoint) that doesn't work as well (at least right now) for seeking (i.e. for another http connections to be made with a range request)

emby can stream http m2ts files just fine (I have that working, drop a strm file in an emby library directory that is basically http://localhost/file=some.iso?playlist=number and it will stream that playlist via libbluray output, bd_read() to http response body essentially).

emby works great as it picks up all the audio and subtitle tracks, but without the metadata as mentioned). If I can figure out how to mix / edit in those pmt packets to set the audio / subtitle language that libbluray has in bd_title_info I'd be all set.

I wonder if you are having the same issue I have with SRT subs with my pc at my work-place. They appear black and if they are positioned in the black bars, you can't see them.

Strangely my other PC here at home doesn't have that issue with basically the same setup.

Yes very strange. It didn't happen to me until yesterday. And I've worked with the software on loads of movies and I've never had a problem.

I downloaded the latest version yesterday and since then the problems started to seem to me. (Or version before last)
I just don't know what software version I used when everything was working properly

I don't know about it like you mentioned. But I choose the subtitle (srt) I want and just nothing appears. strange

[CapricornX10X]

I did a test after what you mentioned to me. And right you are right for some reason the srt subtitles were in black so I did not see them. I have no idea how in the software they appeared in black. I changed to white and everything is fine now.

[CapricornX10X]

@CapricornX10X please PM me the srt file. I will check whether it is fully UTF-8 compliant.

Even in the software according to the picture I sent, this is a problem.
The problem for me is solved, the subtitles appear to me at the moment. tsmuxer made me the blu ray file with a black subtitle. So I didn't see anything (because the subtilte in the black part of the screen below)
Why I still have a problem alert I have no idea. But I checked with more movies and subtitles. And every srt file has this problem.

[CapricornX10X]

By the way we are already discussing the subtitle issue lol.
When I do demux for a Blu-ray movie. And I take away specific subtitles I want.
This time of course in pgs format. And then I take those subtitles and put them in the Blu-ray movie I want and then I do muxsr to blu-ray folder.
Will I have a synchronization problem at times? Between the subtitles and the audio?

Because I did this a while ago and had a real time sync problem

[no-one]

When i take subtitle from demux of version 2020-04-19--02-12-02 to open with bdsub2sup, it gets problem.
Subtitle not show 2 lines from the end.

[a5180007]

@no-one I've demuxed PGS subtitles from various blu-rays with the latest version without problems: I can't reproduce the bug.
