[libdvbpsi-devel] [0x0-0x1fb1fb].org.videolan.vlc[8468] libdvbpsi error (PMT decoder): invalid section (table_id == 0x41)

[Johann Hanne]

Hi David,

the PMT decoder in libdvbpsi is badly broken. It doesn't support PMTs with 
more than one program on one PID, and it doesn't support other table types 
than the PMT itself. Both is correct behaviour according to ISO 13818-1.

I'm in the process of fixing this, but I'm not sure if/when it will go into 
svn, because it also causes a major API breakage (PMTs need to be attached 
behind a demux).

Cheers, Johann
