Win Some channels say no audio/video?
#1
Firstly, I'd like to say thankyou for creating this awesome plugin! I tried XBMC about a year ago and went back to WMC because of the lack of dependable PVR plugin - great work!

I'm finding that some of the channels work, some only play audio, and some don't play at all. Looking through the log file, it seems that it can't find a relevant audio/video stream?

You can see in the log that there is one channel that plays fine, a couple that only seem to have audio, and one that doesn't play anything. If I record any of the shows that don't work, then play it back from recorded TV, it plays fine. Those channels also all play fine from WMC.

Please let me know if you need any other logs/details!

Weird. These two files should have been saved:
C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\TempXBMC\savedForDebug\LiveTV_HTPC_DVB-T_73_2013_12_21_08_41_21.wtv
C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\TempXBMC\savedForDebug\LiveTV_HTPC_DVB-T_2_2013_12_21_08_42_08.wtv

if you still have them, put them them here:
https://drive.google.com/?authuser=0#fol...zFhZmNPWUE

and let me know when they are uploaded.

Thanks very much! Uploading now. I've tried opening the files in win7 and they play perfectly.

In case it helps, this doesn't appear to be a channel-related thing, but more a program-related thing. Sometimes a channel will play TV fine, then an hour later it won't, because it's a different show.

Hey Ben,

Thanks a lot for uploading those files. I helped me find a subtle bug in the remuxer, it also shows that sometimes the video information can come much later in a wtv file then we realized - that's why sometimes it is working and sometimes it is not for you.

A simple fix that makes it so the files you sent me play, that you should try, is to change two values in the config.xml file that's stored here:
C:\ProgramData\VDsoftware\ServerWMC\config.xml

Find these two values:
<RemuxParseMinHeadersForAudio>500</RemuxParseMinHeadersForAudio>
<RemuxParseMaxHeadersForAudio>1000</RemuxParseMaxHeadersForAudio>

and change them to:
<RemuxParseMinHeadersForAudio>1000</RemuxParseMinHeadersForAudio>
<RemuxParseMaxHeadersForAudio>1500</RemuxParseMaxHeadersForAudio>

You have to restart serverwmc after making the change.

Please let me know if that works. Thanks again for reporting this.

Perfect!!

Only 1 channel still didn't work, so I made the max headers 2000. Thanks so much, and thanks again for the great plugin!

If you are willing, I have a proper fix to the problem that would be cool if you could test, since your line-up seems to behave differently than what I am used to. If you can, then send me a PM and I'll get it to you to test.
